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-Pr\u00e9vot as best they could. In the final uphill kilometre, it was Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot who was the first to open up a gap.<\/p>\n
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-Pr\u00e9vot finished in an impressive third place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fourth edition of the French stage race began on Saturday with a short but tricky stage in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25136,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,24703,24704,85],"class_list":["post-25135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-marianne-vos-provided-team-visma-lease-a-bike-with-a-dream-start-in-the-tour-de-france-femmes-the-38-year-old-rider-was-the-fastest-in-an-uphill-sprint-after-a-stage-of-about-80-kilometres","tag-securing-herself-the-first-yellow-jersey-pauline-ferrand-prevot-also-delivered-a-strong-performance-and-finished-third","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
