Dutch sprinter Lorena Wiebes burst clear in the final 250m to take the second stage of the Tour de France Femmes from Aigle to Geneva in Switzerland.
The race leader, the winner of the green jersey last year, will continue to wear the yellow jersey for Team SD Worx-Protime on Monday after powering to back-to-back victories in the race’s opening two days. Behind her, Elisa Balsamo of Lidl-Trek finished second, while Team Visma-Lease a Bike’s Marianne Vos was third.
In the second Tour de France Femmes Grand Depart to take place beyond French borders after the start of the 2024 edition in Rotterdam, the peloton swept north from Aigle – home of the UCI, cycling’s governing body – around Lac Leman before arriving in Geneva 147.9 kilometers later.
Sure, Lorena Wiebes Is Incredible. But She’s Still a Long Way off Marianne Vos

Watching Lorena Wiebes completely dominate the sprints in the sport leads to all sorts of superlatives, and they are well deserved.
She took back to back wins in the Tour de France Femmes in recent days, blitzing her rivals on both stages 1 and 2. Winning in yellow on Sunday increased her career tally in the race to seven stages, and on Monday she has her fourth career day in Tour yellow.
