No surprises that the opening stage ends in a splash or that it’s Group DSM’s Lorena Wiebes who takes the dignity of sporting the first-ever(ish) Tour de France Femmes yellow jersey. [Yes, there was an official women’s TdF in the 80s, but different name.] Wiebes and Lotto’s Marianne Vos made it further suspenseful than it must have been for a dominant sprinter to do what was anticipated, as Vos, the longtime singular well-known particular person of women’s biking, launched up the very best side from 100 meters out. Wiebes, who narrowly prevented getting boxed out of the sprint on the left boundaries, finally responded and pulled earlier Vos inside the last 30 meters. Outcomes:
- WIEBES Lorena, Group DSM, 1:54:00
- VOS Marianne, Group Jumbo-Visma
- KOPECKY Lotte, Group SD Worx
- BARBIERI Rachele, LIV racing Xstra
- NORSGAARD Emma, Movistar Group

First Yellow Jersey of the twenty first century : Lorena Wiebes
Hardly will we see a good greater favorite after the golden interval of Vos than Wiebes on a splash day like this. Nonetheless many larger than succesful opponents however when points go even close to OK for DSM then Wiebes must win this by a motorcycle dimension even.
