The 5th stage of the Tour de France women was marked not several falls and many abandonments at the start of the race.
We were waiting for the first battle between the favorites of the Tour de France Women, this Wednesday, between Chasseneuil-du-Poitou and Guéret, with a finish-and-andpassed finish on the program. Unfortunately there was action at the start of the day, with breakage in the peloton.
During the first part of the stage, which was nervous, several falls were listed, one of them involving the sprinter Lorena Wiebes, victorious Monday and Tuesday.
Renowned runners abandon
There is no image yet, because the fall took place before taking antenna on televisions. But unfortunately, significant damage is to be deplored, since no less than six runners had to throw in the towel. Among them, the former world champion Elisa Balsamo, leader of the Lidl-Trek team, and the Olympic champion, the American Kristen Faulkner.
This is decidedly a difficult Tour de France for the Italians since the other headliner of Transalpine cycling, in addition to Balsamo, had to give up before the departure of the 3rd stage. This is Elisa Longo Borghini.
