Big disappointment for
Annemiek van Vleuten. The Dutch rider lost her spot on the final podium on the last day of the
Tour de France Femmes. After a bad day on Tourmalet, a knock-out punch came in the individual time trial where Lotte Kopecky beat the Movistar rider by more than a minute
"There is now mainly disappointment within me," Van Vleuten told Eurosport afterwards. "I couldn't put up a fight. I didn't make any mistakes, I don't really know what happened. I wasn't myself. It's a pity that this happens in my last Tour de France Femmes."
