La Laguna Negra. Vinuesa, Friday, May 3rd 2024

24-year-old French woman Évita Muzic landed an unforgettable victory in the sixth stage of La Vuelta Femenina 24 by Carrefour.es by beating Demi Vollering (Team SD Worx-Protime) in the last few meters of the climb to Vinuesa’s Laguna Negra. The FDJ-Suez rider was the only one who could keep up with the Red jersey’s excruciating pace up the devilish, double-digit gradients of the final kilometer. Muzic sits now 6th on a GC still led by Vollering, who increased her advantage on Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) and Riejanne Markus (Team Visma | Lease a Bike). The race goes back to Castilla-La Mancha tomorrow with an uphill finish in Sigüenza.
