Blagnac, Friday, July 28th 2023
Emma Jorgensen (Movistar Team Women) was beautifully inspired by the previous attackers’ successes in the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2023 as she powered to a thrilling victory in Blagnac, at the end of intense stage 6. The Dane is among the fastest riders in the bunch… And she decided to make the most of her raw power in the breakaway, joining Agnieszka Skalniak-Sojka (Canyon//Sram Racing) and Sandra Alonso (Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling Team) at the front of the race. The peloton almost came back… But for the third day in a row, an attacker claimed glory, as Charlotte Kool (Team DSM-Firmenich) dominated the sprint from the bunch to finish 2nd, 1’’ behind the 24 year-old Dane, who celebrated her birthday on Wednesday. After a fast and furious six days of racing, the riders head into the decisive final week-end of the race, with a summit finish at Col du Tourmalet on Saturday and the Pau ITT on Sunday.
