00:13Big attack of Lorena Wiebis. Wiebis now explodes into life.
00:17Demi Vollering is on the wheel. She's going to challenge Lorena Wiebis for this.
00:21But Lorena Wiebis wins the stage. First yellow jersey.
00:28Wiebis comes out in the yellow jersey and goes for the line. Wiebis has got no competitors
00:34in this sprint and it's going to be two out of two for Lorena Wiebis.
00:42The big question is, is it really possible to meet Lorena Wiebis?
00:45Nothing is impossible, but it's really hard.
00:48That will be incredible, but yeah, I don't know. It is what it is.
00:57A back-to-back-to-back. Is it possible today?
00:59Cool. We need to see how I can survive the climbs today. It will be a hard stage with the
01:05long
01:06climb called La Fusille. Then we will see where I am in the final.
01:12Well, there's a lot of possible scenarios today. I think there will certainly be a breakaway
01:17as soon as the first climb. Or in the first part, we could yet see a sprint.
01:23It depends on the leaders, but with a time trial tomorrow, I think it will be for the breakaway.
01:34We bid farewell to Switzerland and back into France via the Jura to face the first major
01:38climb, the category one called La Fusille. An early test that will shape the rest of the day.
01:43Three further category climbs follow before a bonus sprint offers some valuable seconds.
01:48Will this be one for a breakaway, a puncher or one of the GC contenders?
01:54The temperature climbing over 30 degrees and just 12 kilometers in, the 6.3% average gradient
02:00of La Fusille. The polka dots of Ossian Mai, Elisa Balsamo in green, and the leaders jersey
02:07of back-to-back stage winner Lorena Buibas among those feeling the heat and strain.
02:13At the front, Puck Pedersa making clear her Queen of the Mountains ambitions. At this stage,
02:18she was tied with Noskova, but the Dutch climber would go on to do enough to secure the jersey
02:22after the Col de la Savine Mai's last hooray in the polka dots.
02:28However, the woman first over the third list did climb with Sigrid Hogset of Uno X Mobility.
02:34Taking her opportunity just past the halfway stage, but with 2,500 meters of elevation gain
02:40now 70% completed, the perfect time for Lotta Capecchi to launch and chase.
02:46While back in the peloton, a late attacker from yesterday tried to avoid the limelight without
02:50much success.
02:54Happy birthday to Nina Burton.
02:56She always seems quite shy that, oh, it's my birthday.
03:03Haugset the first to arrive in Champignon for an uncontested intermediate sprint, a Norwegian
03:08doing brilliantly, Capecchi still at a minute, the peloton upwards of five minutes, all thanks
03:13to her steady average pace of 40 kilometers an hour.
03:16Inside the final 50k, a duo did try to kick something off, and it did, just not in a positive
03:22sense.
03:23Well, I think this is more of a heated discussion here between Lewis Arachist and Liana Lippit.
03:29Liana Lippit's just having none of it.
03:31She's just looking at her.
03:32You can shout at me all you want, but I'm not interested.
03:36I'm just going to smile back at you.
03:39No team seemed ready to take the peloton by the scruff of the neck to close the gap to
03:44the Norwegian champion up the road.
03:45She was also second in her national time trial.
03:48Haugset would need those skills to take home this incredible solo effort.
03:57Former world champion Capecchi couldn't catch sight of her prey.
04:00The Belgian struggling to make further inroads with the gap stable around 30 seconds.
04:05As the race leader reached the summit of the final climb, Haugset not just fighting for
04:09a breakthrough win, but the yellow jersey as well.
04:13We beside to the picture, but Kim LeCourt Pienaar, having worn it last year, would have
04:17hoped to do so again.
04:19The Mauritian champion did make sure she was at the front to take two seconds left at the
04:23bonus sprint.
04:25But with only one minute to defend to the lone Scandinavian Wolf and a lack of pelton
04:30cohesion, it looked unlikely.
04:44The longest solo winning break away to date in the Tour de France Femme avec Zwift was
04:4962km by Annemiek van Voten on her way to the Markstein.
04:53If Haugset won, she'd smash that with 88.5km ridden all alone, but no shock she was starting
05:00to feel the effort.
05:06As she crossed the train tracks, Capecchi was in sight just 15 seconds behind.
05:12Yet there wasn't much petrol left in the Belgian's tank either.
05:16So rather than reel the leader in, the gap started to tick up again.
05:20The combativity award, but that just the first part of a trilogy Haugset was in the process
05:25of writing.
05:26And in the end Kim LeCourt elected to save her energy for the stages to come, as did the
05:31rest of the GC contenders.
05:33All this meant that Haugset had time to let her historic solo sink in.
05:43And the biggest victory of UNOX Mobility's existence.
05:51She's going to take the yellow jersey alongside it and follow in the footsteps of her teammate
05:56Thorsten Thran, who wore the yellow jersey.
05:58She left the peloton, she rode across to the leaders.
06:02As the leaders were about to be caught, with 88km to go, she decided it was time to go solo.
06:11It is UNOX, unbelievable day, sensational.
06:16Sigrid Hordset, she wins the stage and she'll take yellow tonight.
06:21Extraordinary.
06:31I'm so tired.
06:38I never thought it was possible.
06:40I thought, should I just drop down to her?
06:42Like, okay, second is good.
06:45But I kept on.
06:47The car was amazing, pushing me.
06:49I was thinking about all my teammates.
06:53I had to give it all.
06:54And yeah, I can't believe that she didn't catch me.
06:58And in the Norwegian jersey, it's fantastic.
07:03A brave effort from the SD Works rider, Kopecky though settling for second.
07:08But there was still plenty to fight for from the bunch behind for bonus seconds, to be precise.
07:15Kim LaCour starts to kick.
07:17She wants the bonuses.
07:19She's going to start to fire forward.
07:21She'll be second place, I think, on the tour or third.
07:25Definitely on the podium by the end of today.
07:28But look at this for this sprint.
07:30Who's going to get it?
07:31Vos gets it on the left hand side.
07:39It's Sigrid Haugsted.
07:43Haugsted bought her lottery ticket, and her numbers came up.
07:47The Norwegian champion storming to a stunning stage success.
07:50Kopecky just couldn't make contact, but she finished still, over a minute from the peloton.
07:56After Torsten Tran grabbed yellow on stage four, 27 days later, UNOX witness Haugsted doing just that a stage earlier.
08:04An individual time trial tomorrow, can she defend her hard-earned two-minute, two-second lead?
08:10Lori Noemis knew two things were likely.
08:13Lose yellow, but stay in her pre-tour goal of green.
08:1856 points in hand over Solouis Haugsted, with Ruig and Kopecky into the top four.
08:27Buck Pedessa did the damage early to take possession of the polka-dot jersey.
08:32Noskova and Haugsted the three climbers in double figures, with stage one starlet May slipping to fourth.
08:39Well, no movement for the best young rider.
08:43Paolo Blasi in white.
08:45But will tomorrow threaten that position, when tomorrow comes around?
08:52That's because it's the race of truth when a spicy individual time trial hits the finish line in Dijon.
