Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig won the third stage of the Tour de France Femmes. The Danish rider finished ahead of Marianne Vos to secure the victory.
Marianne Vos, Thalita de Jong, and Ellen van Dijk tried to create a breakaway early in the stage but remained unsuccessful. On third climb, the Côte du Mesnil-sur-Oger, the peloton broke into pieces.
Lorena Wiebes managed to take some lead. However, she was soon caught up by the peloton. Then, 24 kilometers before the finish line, Ashleigh Moolman and some other riders took the lead with a gap of 1 minute.
Van Vleuten, Demi Vollering, Liane Lippert, Elisa Longo Borghini, Mavi Garcia, and Silvia Persico soon joined Moolman. Van Vleuten struggled to keep up with the group, but she stuck with the breakaway.
Niewiadoma was the first to sprint and was immediately countered by Vos. Ludwig overtook Vos in the final 100 meters to secure the victory. Vos finished second . Moolman finished in third place. Vos continues to lead in GC with now 16 seconds advantage over Silvia Persico.

- It's going to happen at some point. It will happen to Tadej as well, we all get older. Jonas was in pretty great form at the tour. I still consider him a top two or three cyclist in the world, until he's not.awp15-11-2026
- mij, I am not so sure of that. I have been on a spine ward at a Denver hospital that had quite a few spinal injuries from mountain biking.BDBigGuy15-11-2026
- Pogi takes care of his teammates in races and training. Tadej Pogačar is widely praised within the cycling peloton for his fair and egalitarian leadership, actively supporting his UAE teammates both on the road during races and behind the scenes at training camps. Rather than acting like an untouchable superstar, he has intense team loyalty by sharing daily chores, giving up personal glory to help domestiques, and publicly praising their sacrifices. Unlike some Grand Tour contenders, like Vingegaard, who occasionally train away from their squads, Pogi consistently attends team training camps alongside his domestiques, making the exact same sacrifices to build friendship. I love how Pogačar shares his teammates-domestiques, either when they succeed or win in races or when they simply just do a good job for him. It has to be a great moral boost for them. And then they work even harder and go even deeper for Pogi. This is teamwork.PogiSloFans15-11-2026
