Marianne Vos celebrates as she cycles to the finish line to win the 6th stage of the new edition of the Women's Tour de France cycling race ahead of UAE Team ADQ's Italian rider Marta Bastianelli placing second and Team SD Worx's Belgian rider Lotte Kopecky placing third.Overall race leader Marianne Vos used a combination of sprinting prowess and positioning smarts in the finale to take her second stage win of the race in the reduced bunch sprint.
Australians Ruby Roseman-Gannon and Tiffany Cromwell forced their way into the breakaway, which took a long time to go off the front of the race after a hard and fast start to the stage. Australian Grace Brown tried a surge from the peloton on a climb to try and get clear of the sprinters in the main bunch, but she was tightly marked by the favourites for the stage.
Le Net attacked clear to go over the summit of the climb solo, but it wasn’t enough to hold off the peloton spoiling for a reduced bunch sprint as she was caught on the descent with just 5 kilometres to go to the finish.
