With Agnieszka Salniak-Sojka (Canyon-SRAM) up the road, and Sandra Alonso (Ceratizit-WNT) somewhere in the middle, Emma Norsgaard (Movistar) took off in search of the escapees. As Norsgaard got up with Alonso, the former was able to jump onto the wheel of the Norwegian. By the time she reached Salniak-Sojka, there was only about forty-two kilometers left to race. As her director sportif passed an ice sock the two rolled pass the 800 kilometers ridden in this Tour de France Femmes. The trio worked well together and increased their lead over the peloton to just shy of two minutes. Again, today is the last stage of the race that could be considered a day for the sprinters so I would assume it was unlikely these three will be vying for the win in Blagnac.
