- Demi Vollering pipped by her compatriot in final sprint
- Win makes it four in a row for riders from Netherlands
The Dutch party continued at the Tour de France Femmes, as the Grand Tour debutante Puck Pieterse maintained the trend started on stage one by Charlotte Kool, to claim the fourth consecutive win by a rider from the Netherlands.
Pieterse reversed the disappointment of the Paris Olympics mountain bike race, in which she finished fourth, to win the stage from Valkenburg to Liège, outsprinting the race leader, Demi Vollering of SD Worx Protime and taking her first professional win in road racing.
