The German cyclist Liane Lippert (Movistar Team) won this Monday the second stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2023held over 152 kilometers on a steep route starting at Clermont-Ferrand and finishing at Mauriac, after being the fastest in the final sprint.
The Teutonic champion prevailed in a tight finish to the leader, the Belgian Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx), and the Italian Silvia Persico (UAE Team ADQ). The last few kilometers were marked by rain, which caused falls and made the difficult climb up the Côte de Trébiac, category 3, difficult.
The main day trip It was made up of the Dutch Anouska Koster (Uno-X), Eva van Agt (Jumbo-Visma) and Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck), who marched ahead until the last kilometres, when they were then chased by the peloton.
With the group formed for the final climb, the Polish Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon-Sram Racing) attacked, screening a group that was going to play for the victory and in which the Movistar rider was the fastest, in order to achieve his first victory on the Tour.
