Norwegian national champion Sigrid Haugset led the race for the majority of the day and held on to become the first Norwegian stage winner in the history of the Tour de France Femmes, and with her solo victory she moves into the leader’s yellow jersey.
After attacking and taking the lead with 89km left to go, the Uno-X Mobility rider dug in deep and stayed ahead of Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx – Protime), who battled alone and in vain to catch her.

Marianne Vos (Team Visma – Lease a Bike) crossed the line third and ith that result moves into third place in the General Classification.
