Mass Sprint After All TdFF23-16
It looked like there was the slimmest of chances that Julie Van De Velde (Fenix-Deceuninck) would pull off the upset on her solo break, but no, she was caught with about 150 meters to go. The pace was driven by Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) in her Maillot Jaune leading out her teammate Lorena Wiebes (the European Champion). Pushing the two was a resurgent Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma). The stage went to Wiebes with Vos just missing and taking second. Kopecky was third keeping both her Yellow and her Green Jerseys. Chiara Consonni (UAE Team ADQ) and then Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) rounded out the top five on the stage. So the only jersey to change hands was the Maillot a Pois. Although it will be Wiebes borrowing the Maillot Vert from her teammate for the day in Stage 4.
