Stage five of the Tour de France Femmes is underway from Mâcon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais, with riders undergoing checks for aerodynamic chest padding. Marlen Reusser commented, 'I'm certain there will be hard attacks … hopefully not heart attacks … and we will try to follow.'
Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney reflected on her time trial performance: '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.' amunra-online.pl
