Building Their Advantage TdFF24-24
Twenty-four kilometers later Loes Adegeest (FDJ-Suez) was joined by Julie Van de Velde (AG Insurance-Soudal) and Fem Van Empel (Visma-Lease a Bike). Once the two women arrived, the trio started building on their lead over the peloton. They were able to stretch out a two minute lead on the peloton before it started to chase them in earnest. With forty-nine kilometers to race, they have a slim chance of making it all of the way to the finish in Amneville. While they ended up not taking the stage, Adegeest was awarded the most combative rider of the stage. Tomorrow we will find her with a green bib number as a marker for her guts today.
