Tour de France Femmes: cobbled roads and mountains announce more excitement | Tour de France 2022

The cobbled roads immediately remind cycling enthusiasts of the Strade Bianche. Lotte Kobeki also has good memories of that. Our compatriot won this classic in March after a captivating duel with the anime Van Vleuten.

Kopecky also explored this stage earlier. “You could be unlucky and lose a lot of time, or you could be lucky and gain time. The streaks are different from the ones on the Strade Bianche, I was a little shocked after that exploring. There are risks associated with these streaks,” the SD Worx rider said yesterday.

From start to finish, you are in the right place to follow the race with text. At 2.15pm there are pictures. You can watch the live broadcast on this page or on One. Robin van Gucht and Ein Payne are the commentators. Radio 1 picks up at 3 pm.

The anime Van Vleuten had a tough day yesterday. On the final ascent, Mont-Bernon, the new Giro Donne winner, had to be released. Nobody saw it coming. On the climb descent, the Dutchman managed to come back, but the rising finish was a knockout. Van Vleuten finally came in 20 seconds behind winner Otrop Ludwig.

Van Vleuten said after the trip that she has been feeling sick since Sunday. In Stage Two, I thought for a moment about giving up, but the 39-year-old Movistar rider just doesn’t. Yesterday I felt a little better. How do you appear today?

Van Vleuten is currently ninth, at 1’14” off leader Marianne Vos.

Julie de Wilde (Blantor Bora) is seen as the reveal of this tour. Our countrywoman has already shown herself in the past three stages. On the Champs-Elysées, I sped off to the handsome 15th. In Provence, she did better with a seventh place finish. She has left behind some big names.

Yesterday it was even more special for the 19-year-old rider. After a tough race, she finished 14th and took the white jersey from Mike van der Doyen (Le Cole Wahoo). She is the youngest contestant in the peloton.

De Wilde is 16 seconds ahead of Sweden’s Julie Borgström (AG Insurance-NXTG). Prior to the start of the tour, Sherine Van Anroe was seen as the frontrunner to win the youth classification. The Dutch are currently fourth with a time of 33 seconds from De Wilde.

De Wilde takes 13th place in the general classification. She is also the first Belgian.

Riders depart at 1pm in Troyes. The official start came after 10 minutes. They are expected to reach Bar-sur-Aube around 16:15 after 4 gravel sections and 5 poles.

Yesterday, the riders produced a great spectacle in the third stage of the Tour de France. Today will not be different, the first obstacles do not appear until after 67 km, of course.

5 ramps are offered to riders today. In addition, they also have to complete 4 gravel slides, suitable for 12.9 kilometers of gravel.

Today the Peloton will cover 126.8 kilometers between Troyes and Bar-sur-Aube.
