Gladys Verhulst has tried everything
The vice-champion of France was not far from the feat.
He will have missed two kilometers.
Fifty seconds ahead of the peloton 7 kilometers from the finish, the Frenchwoman from Le Col-Wahoo formation resisted extremely well before being eaten by the trains of sprinters.
Too bad for Gladys but we will see her again on the attack.
She still offers herself a podium by being elected the best combative of the day.
Femke Markus, best climber in the Champs
The Dutch from the Parkhotel Valkenburg team gave everything to get the only point awarded for the mountain grand prix today.
At the top of the false flat rising from the Champs-Élysées, she made a huge effort to take the lead in this ''bump'' of 4th category.
She will wear this distinctive jersey on tomorrow's stage.
First abandonment
Alana Castrique (Cofidis) is also a name to remember but for much sadder reasons.
The rider from the French formation fell to the back of the peloton and was forced to retire.
She was evacuated on a stretcher by an ambulance.
Christine Majerus was also caught in the fall but was able to get away.
We wish him a speedy recovery.
