The fifth stage of the 2023 Tour de France Femmes has been won by Ricarda Bauernfeind of Canyon//SRAM Racing in the biggest result of her career.
Stage 5 finishing in Albi, is a stage that should see a sprint finish, however there are big possibilities for the offensive riders to cause a surprise.
The pace was absolutely fierce in the peloton with more riders dropping out the back of the group than being able to get into the breakaway.
11 riders did go up the road, best placed of whom in the GC was Claire Steels at 2:44. The main peloton was keeping a very tight leash, not allowing much of a timegap to form.
As the peloton took on the first categorised climb of the day, the break was caught as some of the sprinters began to struggle out the back of the bunch.
After the final categorised climb of the day, Ricarda Bauernfeind was a solo leader with a 1:35 advantage over the peloton and just over 23km left to hold on.
With 10km to go, her lead had been cut to just 39 seconds. Bauernfeind was impressively holding her own, and the time gap was held at 35 seconds with 5km to go.
Even a counterattack from Liane Lippert and Marlen Reusser couldn't bring back the 23-year-old German as she took the biggest result of her career to date.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
