2022 Tour de France Femmes Stage 3 | Highlights
Report
On the third stage of the Tour de France Femmes, linking Reims to Epernay, the peloton prepared itself for a rugged stage of 133 kilometers.
The collective work of FDJ-SUEZ-Futuroscope supported Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig’s mission to remain in the peloton during the toughest sections of the race, approaching the foot of the Côte de Mutigny, the greatest difficulty of the day, in strong condition. Delayed by a fall in the same bump, Cecilie was then able to switch alongside the Yellow Jersey, Marianne Vos, and then return, a few kilometers further, to the leading group of five girls.
In the final climb of Epernay leading to the line, Cecilie was able to take advantage of her reconnaissance course and manage her effort in the best way on these slopes of up to 13%. In the last 200 metres, Cecilie proved that she was one of the best punchers in the world to overtake all her competitors and raise her arms with her Danish champion jersey, ahead of Marianne Vos and Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio.
