Tour de France Women 2022: Marianne Vos wins a second stage enameled with numerous falls
To reach the ramparts of Provins from Meaux, the riders had to avoid the numerous accidents that marked the second stage of the Tour de France Femmes on Monday.
The Eiffel Tower in the rear-view mirror, projected towards the Great East, the sprinteuses had a new opportunity to shine at the end of a 136 km flat course.
In the final race, the Dutch woman Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) won, a success that allows her to take the yellow jersey to her compatriot Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM).
Under the gray sky of Seine-et-Marne, you could expect a sleepy test on the long straight lines before a final runaway in Provins.
But the bikes were flying on the tar, redistributing the cards within the formations. Hit by Nicole Frain (Parkhotel Valkenburg), Marta Cavalli, second in the Giro this year, was forced to give up.
It was a blow for the French FDJ-Suez-Futuroscope team, who relied on the Italian rider as a luxury lieutenant for Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (+1’38), their leader appointed for the general. According to Francetvinfo.
