Visma | Lease a Bike entered the opening stage of the Tour de France Femmes<\/a> with two potential cards to play in Pauline Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot<\/a> and Marianne Vos<\/a>, but the team leaders ultimately had to settle for eighth and 18th place. Both riders <\/p>\n

shared their stories through the team\u2019s channels. <\/a><\/p>\n

Visma | Lease a Bike spent the entire day near the front and came through the stage without any major problems, which was the most important outcome. \u201cAs a team, we put in a strong performance today,\u201d Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot said afterwards through the team\u2019s channels.<\/p>\n

The defending champion said it had been good to return to racing. Visma had entered the finale with a clear plan to challenge for victory but ultimately came up short.

Vos comes up short<\/p>\n

Vos had hoped to challenge for the stage victory but was unable to stay with the leading group. She praised the way Visma had raced and said the finale had been extremely demanding. The team delivered her into a strong position, but, as Vos honestly admitted, \u201cthere were simply a few riders who were stronger today.\u201d<\/p>\n
