TOUR DE FRANCE FEMMES AVEC ZWIFT

Etappenrennen, Frauenradsport, Tour de France, ,

Stars align in Paris

Key points:
• Three weeks ahead of the first Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, the provisional list of starters features the top 25 riders in the UCI rankings.
• The Dutch stars (Van Vleuten, Vollering, Wiebes, Vos…) come in numbers but they’ll face rivals from all around the world, with Italy’s Balsamo and Cavalli, South Africa’s Moolman-Pasio, USA’s Faulkner…
• From Paris to La Super Planche des Belles Files, the crowds will be able to celebrate the French national champion Audrey Cordon-Ragot and her compatriots Juliette Labous and Evita Muzic, among other local heroes taking on the eight stages (July 24-31).

Racing is in full swing with the Tour de France, and a stellar peloton is about to get into action with the start of the first Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift on July 24th, when their male counterparts reach Paris. The biggest stars of women cycling have circled the date on their calendar since last year’s announcement, with a route presentation seducing all types of riders: sprinters, climbers, GC contenders and stage hunters…

Marianne Vos is among the most versatile and talented cyclist ever, so it’s only natural to see her lead a strong Jumbo-Visma line-up as the Dutch icon pursues yellow glory to go along with her many rainbow triumphs (14 world Elite champion titles across road racing, cyclo-cross and track).
Deprived from Paris-Roubaix avec Zwift because of Covid-19, Vos returned to competition at the Dutch National championships and returned to success in the Giro d’Italia Donne, where she’s currently facing other contenders who will soon light fireworks on French roads. Among them, BikeExchange-Jayco’s Kristen Faulkner rose to the forefront this year in stage races (3rd of Itzulia, 2nd of the Tour de Suisse).

Marta Cavalli (FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope, set to become FDJ-Suez-Futuroscope on July 15) is another rising star this season and she’ll display her talents alongside Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, recently crowned Danish national champion, after a spring campaign hampered by illness.
From Italy, Trek-Segafredo’s Elisa Balsamo is racking up more and more successes with the rainbow jersey on her shoulders. She spearheads the American powerhouse alongside her compatriot Elisa Longo Borghini, a recent winner of the Women’s Tour after her historic conquest in Roubaix this spring. They will also enjoy a strong Dutch support from Ellen van Dijk, the fresh holder of the Hour record. Her predecessor, Great Britain’s Joscelin Lowden, is also set to participate with Uno-X Pro Cycling Team.

Van Dijk and Vos are far from being the only representatives of the Dutch power in the first edition of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Leader of the UCI rankings and a winner of Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes in April, Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar Team Women) is on a mission after the announcement of her retirement in 2023. Pauliena Rooijakkers gets ready to lead Canyon//Sram Racing’s ambitions alongside Poland’s Kasia Niewiadoma. And there will be six teams from the Netherlands taking on the road from Paris to La Super Blanche des Belles Filles.

Team DSM’s Lorena Wiebes will be a strong contender for the first Maillot Jaune and her French teammate Juliette Labous is getting ready for mountainous battles. Local crowds will also be able to cheer for the French National champion Audrey Cordon-Ragot (Trek-Segafredo) and other young talents on the rise such as Evita Muzic (FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope).

For a week, they will notably face the many stars of Team SD Worx: Lotte Kopecky, Demi Vollering, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio… The Dutch powerhouse has riders to chase victory on all terrains. But everyone wants to shine in the first Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.

THE WEBSERIE
The webserie « Les Femmes Du Tour » tells the stories of these trailblazing champions. From Audrey Cordon-Ragot’s Brittany to the Netherlands of Marianne Vos, passing by Gerona (Spain), where Kasia Niewiadoma and Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig live, meet the stars who dream of the first Maillot Jaune.

BORA – hansgrohe voll im Plan nach Grand Départ in Dänemark

Auch auf der dritten Etappe der Tour spielte der Wind eine kleinere Rolle als erwartet. M. Cort war der einzige Ausreißer des Tages und erst auf den letzten 30 Kilometern nahm das Rennen richtig Fahrt auf, und die Hektik im Feld entsprechend zu. Auch heute ereignete sich auf den letzten 10 km ein Massensturz, den allerdings alle BORA – hansgrohe Fahrer vermeiden konnten. Generell arbeitete das Team wieder hervorragend an der Spitze des Feldes mit Nils Politt und Marco Haller, um Aleksandr Vlasov zu beschützen. Am Ende holte Danny Van Poppel wieder eine Top-Ten-Platzierung im Sprint. Somit kann BORA – hansgrohe den Grand Départ in Dänemark als Erfolg verbuchen.

Von der Ziellinie
“In der letzten Kurve musste ich etwas bremsen und habe Schwung verloren. Ich hatte zwar immer noch ein gutes Hinterrad, war aber schon zu weit hinten und musste neu antreten. Am Ende ist es wieder ein Top-Ten-Ergebnis und damit bin ich zufrieden. Das Team hat wieder einen super Job gemacht und wir haben Aleks ohne Probleme ins Ziel gebracht. Das hat für uns immer oberste Priorität.” – Danny Van Poppel

“Generell muss man sagen, dass Dänemark der Wahnsinn war. Diese Begeisterung, unglaublich. Teilweise war es schwierig, sich auf das Rennen zu konzentrieren mit all den Leuten an der Strecke. Wir sind absolut im Plan, würde ich sagen. Unser Ziel war nicht mehr als 30 Sekunden zu den anderen Favoriten hier in Dänemark zu verlieren, und das hat geklappt. Die Bedingungen waren auch weniger gefährlich oder die Etappen weniger hektisch, als einige vorher gedacht hätten. Dennoch haben schon ein paar Fahrer wichtige Sekunden verloren und daran sieht man, wie wichtig es ist, von Beginn an zu investieren. Wir haben das vor allem mit Nils und Marco getan und die beiden haben einen hervorragenden Job gemacht die ersten Tage.” – Rolf Aldag, sportlicher Leiter

Groenewegen bounces back in style
Tour de France 2022 | Stage 3 | Vejle > Sønderborg

Three years after his last win at the Tour de France, Dylan Groenewegen claimed his fifth stage victory as he successfully sprinted in Sonderborg, beating Wout van Aert, Jasper Philipsen and Peter Sagan in a tight finish.
It makes it a three out of three for riders from Benelux in the Danish stages as a Dutchman took over from Belgians Yves Lampaert and van Aert, emulating Jan Raas and Walter Planckaert who captured the first three stages in 1978. Van Aert will take the Maillot Jaune with him to France.
Highlights – Stage 3 – #TDF2022

MAGNUS CORT FROM THE GUN
176 riders started stage 3 in Vejle at 13.13. Polka dot jersey wearer Magnus Cort (EF Education-Easypost) attacked from the gun. Nobody followed him. He reached an advantage of 6’40’’ after 20km of racing. Mikkel Honoré for Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl seized the reins of the peloton to set a steady tempo, later relayed by veteran Philippe Gilbert for Lotto-Soudal. Sprinters’ teams maintained the difference around three minutes for most of the race while Cort enjoyed extending his lead in the KOM classification at Koldingveg (km 27) and Heljsminde Strand (km 82), both cat. 4 climbs in which he took one more point.

VAN AERT FIRST OF THE PELOTON AT THE INTERMEDIATE SPRINT
Cort passed the line of the intermediate sprint at Christianfeld (km 90) 1’45’’ before the peloton. Wout van Aert won the sprint of the bunch with Fabio Jakobsen closing in third place, so the Belgian extended his lead in the points classification. Following that effort, the time gap went below one minute (55’’) but the pacers of the pack decided to slow down and let Cort alone in the lead for some more kilometres. The Dane took the sixth and last KOM point up for grab in the stages held in his country and extended his lead in the climbers’ competition. He was reeled in with 52km to go after 130km at the front by himself in front of an enormous crowd.

FIFTH TOUR DE FRANCE VICTORY FOR GROENEWEGEN
There was no breakaway attempt for the remaining of the race. Successively, Alpecin-Deceuninck and Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl led the bunch in the run in to the bunch sprint after a crash divided the peloton in two parts. All the top sprinters were up there. Michael Morkov was in perfect position in the final 800-metre long straight line but Fabio Jakobsen had lost his wheel, so it was Christophe Laporte who gave the perfect lead out to van Aert. Peter Sagan tried to pass on the right side but the gap was in the middle of the road so Groenewegen who had a great top end speed at his disposal chose the right path to his fifth Tour de France victory (after his successes in 2018 and 2019). It’s his big come back after the horrendous crash of the 2020 Tour de Pologne that involved him and Jakobsen, the first two bunch sprint winners.

Dylan Groenewegen: „Every victory at the Tour de France is special, not only this one“
“I crashed with 9km to go but the team brought me back. Amund Groendahl Jansen put me in a perfect position even though I got boxed. He’s very strong. He was my team-mate before at Jumbo-Visma. He went full gas for me. I took a lot of wind and my legs were tired but I still had enough to sprint to the line. Wout van Aert always joke, saying that if you are not sure of having won, you still claim the victory and you celebrate. That’s what I did. I understood I won from the sport directors screaming in the car. Then I found my father. He follows me for three weeks but usually I don’t see him and today he was there, right in front of me. It was special to share that moment with him and make him happy too. My family supported me greatly after what happened [the crash at the 2020 Tour de Pologne that resulted in a ban for him]. My new team has put a lot of faith in me and a great train to lead me out. Every victory at the Tour de France is special, not only this one.”
