Making the First Attack LC1
It was a power foursome that were to get off the front of the third annual La Course. La Course is a Pro Tour Women's race contested on the finishing circuit of the final stage of the Tour de France. It was the newly minted British National Champion, Hannah Barnes (Canyon SRAM), who was joined by Lucinda Brand (Rabo Liv), Olga Zabelinskaya (BePink) and Chantal Blaak (Boels Dolmans). The women used the downhill section of the Champs Elysees to open up a bit of a gap on those behind. It was rather early in the race, so it was unlikely that they would be able to stay away for the rest of the day.
