Sprinting for More TdFF25-8
Elise Chabbey (FDJ-Suez) wasn't about to lose the sprint for maximum Queen of the Mountains points again. As she and Silke Smulders (Liv-Alula-Jayco) approached the summit of the Cote de Locronan she jumped hard on the pedals to secure her Maillot a Pois for tomorrow's stage. I continue to be impressed with just how many fans have turned out to watch the women's ProTour race through northern France. The pair will need to continue to work together if they want to get to the final two climbs on the finish circuit. The peloton is still just forty-one seconds behind although they have stretched out their advantage since the previous painting.
