On the first stage of the Tour de France Femmes, Marianne Vos (Team Jumbo-Visma) finished fourth after a challenging final where Lotte Kopecky (Team SD Worx) attacked on the Côte de Durtol and soloed to the line. Vos knew it would be hard to reel her in again from the moment the Belgian champion attacked.
"I saw it happening, but nobody could respond. I ended up two groups behind, and we tried to get back to the group in front of us," Vos told Cyclingnews after the finish.
