Charlotte Kool claimed a home win in the opening stage of the Tour de France Femmes as she outsprinted the field in The Hague. The 25-year-old from Blaricum, who rides for Team dsm-firmenich PostNL, took the leader’s yellow jersey with the bonus seconds she earned with her win, giving her a four-second lead over Finland’s Anniina Ahtosalo. Olympic road race silver medallist Marianne Vos finished fifth, while Mylène de Zoete, who rode through her home town of Naaldwijk during the stage, was seventh. Italian Cristina Tonetti built up a 45-second lead with an early breakaway and led through the Maas-Delta tunnel to claim the polka dot jersey for the best climber, before the field came back together for the expected bunch sprint.
