Injury news:
Demi Vollering news, from her team: “Demi Vollering was examined at the hotel by the Team SD Worx-Protime team doctor after her fall in the fifth stage of the Tour de France Femmes. She suffered minor bruising and superficial abrasions to her lower back and buttock.”
Pfeiffer Georgi has abandoned. More new of non-starters when we get it.
“Stage 5 from Bastogne to Amnéville at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift was marred by a massive crash with many riders hitting the deck. Despite the setback, Puck Pieterse stayed strong and kept both the white jersey and the polka dot jersey,” Fenix-Deceuninck said following the stage.
Preamble
After yesterday’s thrills and spills, and the loss of the yellow jersey as a result of those spills, we have a highly significant stage to look forward to. Demi Vollering has over a minute to find to get back in the race and Charlotte Kool blew up on the terrain too. That left Kasia Niewiadoma in yellow, and here come the climbs. There is so little margin for error in this event. What can today bring?
