Not too Far Back TdFF25-32
This is the first time I've seen Julie Bego (Cofidis) in her Maillot Blanc that she has held since the very first day of this Tour Femmes. As this group dropped off of the peloton on the Col du Chansert which might have been a bad sign, but Neinke Vinke (Picnic-PostNL) is her only real competition to keep the title of best young rider. Beside Le Net is her countrywoman and French National Champion, Marie Le Net (FDJ-Suez). The trio is followed by Nadia Gontova (Winspace Orange Seal). It wasn't long after I painted this that Gontova jumped free from this group and rode back up to the group of the yellow jersey.
