Ricarda Bauernfeind speaks…The 23-year-old Canyon-SRAM rider has become the youngest stage winner at the Tour de France Femmes. Asked in the post-race interview if she realises this, she shakes her head with a mix of joy and shock on her face. “To be honest, I still can’t believe it. It’s incredible,” she says of her win. She praises her team: “I had the support of my teammates, the cars behind and everyone helped and supported me. It was just an incredible team ride. My teammates did such a fantastic job…and then it was up to me. I attacked and it worked out.”

Lippert shares her happiness at the fellow German taking the win, while Reusser says very honestly that on the one hand she had hoped they would catch Baurenfeind, but on the other, she hoped the young Canyon-SRAM rider would ride to victory. And ride to victory she did!

Thanks for joining me on this exciting stage five of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and for all your messages. I’ll be back on the weekend but in the meantime, I’ll leave you in the capable hands of my colleagues for today’s race report and live updates during stage six tomorrow.
