Wiebes Wins Tour de France Femmes Stage 2

Lorena Wiebes sprinted to victory in stage two of the Tour de France Femmes in Geneva, maintaining her yellow jersey status after Riejanne Markus' late breakaway attempt was foiled in the final kilometer.

The Dutch rider showcased her sprinting prowess to secure the win in a dramatic finish that saw Markus' brave bid for victory come up just short. The race featured challenging terrain including the Côte de Chexbres climb (3.2km at 5.6% gradient) as riders navigated the hilly course around Lake Geneva. betsport.cv

Several attacks marked the middle portion of the 115km stage, with Alison Jackson and green jersey wearer Idoia Eraso attempting to break away, but no move proved decisive until the final sprint to the line in Vevey.
