The fourth edition of the French stage race began on Saturday with a short but tricky stage in Brittany. Team Visma | Lease a Bike continuously positioned itself at the front and did everything possible to protect Vos and Ferrand-Prévot as best they could. In the final uphill kilometre, it was Ferrand-Prévot who was the first to open up a gap.
The Frenchwoman seemed to be heading for the stage victory, but Kim Le Court had other ideas. Vos followed and prevented Le Court from taking the victory with a powerful final sprint. This meant that the stage victory and the yellow jersey went to the veteran of Team Visma | Lease a Bike. Ferrand-Prévot finished in an impressive third place.
