The leader was the winner of this episode, titled Dutch Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma). The Italian Silvia Persico (Valcar-Travel & Service) was on the second step of the podium.

Unfortunately, it was not without the drama. About 25 km before the finish line it was terrifying. First, one of the players fell into a ditch, and literally a few seconds later, another one was lying on the route. This automatically caused several cyclists to collide.

Marta Cavalli, who spent a long time lying on the asphalt, suffered the most. The Italian woman returned to the bike, but in the photos shown by the producer it was clearly visible that she was suffering. Several players drove into it, including one with great speed.

In the meantime, another participant of the race fell out of the way. She also landed in a ditch, but after a while she got up and walked across the field as if she didn’t know what was happening to her. – Look, unconscious – commentator Karol Stopa said on Eurosport.

for the first time women are held under this name and in the formula of a multi-stage race. In the past, it was referred to as La Grande Boucle. In the years 2014-19, it was usually held as a one-day race called La Course by Le Tour de France.

This year’s edition consists of eight stages and will end on July 31 with a climb to the La Planche des Belles Filles ski resort in the Vosges, known from the Tour de France for men. In the general classification, Vos is 10 seconds ahead of Persico and 12 seconds ahead of Niewiadoma.
