Norway’s Sigrid Haugset has taken the overall lead and claimed the yellow jersey at the Tour de France Femmes after winning stage three of the cycling race.
On Monday, 3 August, Haugset, of the Uno-X Mobility team, held off Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky after making a bold, aggressive move midway through the 156.6km stage.
The victory marked the first time a Norwegian cyclist has won a stage of the Tour de France Femmes and worn the famous yellow jersey.
“I haven’t been thinking about it because I never thought it was possible.
Haugset added: “When I went, it wasn’t many seconds, and I thought she [Kopecky] would catch me.
