Now this should be the break that stays away. First there are two former World Champions and on who is both current and former, Annemiek Van Vleutin (Mitchelton-Scott), and second they have over a minute on the chasers with just downhill a flat roads to race. Van Vleutin has spent the last 15 kilometers trying to ride the rest of the six woman break off of her will. She has not yet succeeded in that effort. Stuck on the Champion's wheel were Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo Women) and her teammate, Lizzie Deignan. Close behind the Trek duo was Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon SRAM). While the crowd sizes are down from normal Tour de France (and La Course) standards, there are still thousands lining the course, and most are doing their best to social distance and wear their masks (as required by French state mandate).
