Tas Sets Benchmark in Tour de France Time Trial

Sandrine Tas of Lotto Intermarché has set a new benchmark in the Tour de France Femmes time trial in Dijon, clocking 28'49''39. The Belgian rider was just 0.96 seconds faster than her closest competitor, Le Mouël, who now becomes the rider to beat in this stage.

Live footage of the time trial has begun on TV broadcasts, showing the idyllic countryside as overhead drones capture the action. Meanwhile, organizers are monitoring potential wildfire threats that could force a re-route of the upcoming Mont Ventoux stage. sportbet.rodeo
