PREVIEW | Tour de France Femmes 2024 stage 5 - Puck Pieterse and Lorena Wiebes favourites for explosive finale

From the 12th to 18th August the Tour de France Femmes 2024 will be on the road. After it's return, it has quickly become one of women's cycling most important and attractive events, and the 2024 edition promises to deliver with a route that is packed with surprises. We preview stage 5.

Stage 5 will be another hilly day. This one not as hard. The finale in Amneville should see quite an open race until then. The riders find a few hilltops in the run-up to the finish, and inside the final kilometer itself there is a 600-meter ramp at 5% which should put some sprinters under difficulties.

Prediction Tour de France Femmes 2024 stage 5:

*** Lorena Wiebes, Puck Pieterse
** Blanka Kata Vas, Elisa Balsamo, Marianne Vos
* Charlotte Kool, Demi Vollering, Georgi Pfeiffer, Shirin van Anrooij, Kimberley Le Court, Kristen Faulkner, Emma Norsgaard, Thalita de Jong, SIlvia Persico

Pick: Lorena Wiebes
