Tour de France Femmes: Stage Five Updates

Riders in the Tour de France Femmes stage five from Mâcon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais are undergoing checks for aerodynamic chest padding. The update comes as Visma-Lease A Bike team manager Rutger Tijssen reflects on Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's performance in yesterday's time trial.

Ferrand-Prévot was 2 minutes 13 seconds behind the winner, finishing 34th on the day and dropping to 14th in the General Classification. "Losing minutes never makes you happy," Tijssen stated, noting they will evaluate in five days whether the performance was detrimental or beneficial for the team. moryak.biz
