Lorena Wiebes has won the first stage of Tour de France Femmes. She was the fastest amongst her rival in the sprint to cross the finish line.
Krista Doebel-Hickok tried to create the gap early in the stage, but her attempt failed. Then Dutch rider Nina Buysman lead the breakaway along with seven other riders. Mischa Bredewold (Parkhotel Valkenburg) and Emily Newsom (EF Education-TIBCO-SVB) soon launched a counterattack and created a 40-second gap. The peloton caught up to the breakaway riders 49 kilometers before the finish line.
Femke Markus secured the first polka dot jersey of the tour. Gladys Verhulst (Le Col-Wahoo) took a lead of 45 seconds 10 kilometers before the finish line . The peloton caught Verhulst 2 kilometers before the finish.
With just two kilometers to go everyone was ready to sprint. Ellen van Dijk went in front in the last kilometer but It soon changed to Marianne Vos. Lorena Wiebes overtook Vos in the last few meters and narrowly secured her first win in the stage. Vos followed soon and finished second. Lotte Kopecky finished third. Lorena Wiebes is the overall leader in GC.

- great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
- the time for a GC rider to retire is when they cannot win stages, or have a significant level drop like from winner/podium into top 5/10 consistently. Roglic is still competitive and Froome raced even though he became pack fodder.abstractengineer10-11-2026
- He should be in a different team. It was detrimental. For them it does not matter if he does not develop. He should have gone to a team where they need him to succeed.abstractengineer10-11-2026
