Riders in Tour de France Femmes face checks for aerodynamic chest padding as the race enters stage five from Mâcon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais. Marlen Reusser anticipates hard attacks, stating "I'm certain there will be hard attacks ... hopefully not heart attacks ... and we will try to follow."
Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney reflected on her individual time trial performance, saying "It's one of the steps to the main goal. I know the real stuff is ahead of us. We're definitely happy with the execution, but we keep our focus on upcoming stages. One day at a time." rocore.sbs
