Lorena Wiebes sprinted to her second win at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in two days on stage four on Tuesday, after holding off Marianne Vos in Poitiers.

The SD Worx-Protime rider found space on the right of the flat-out bunch just meters to the finish line after being led out by Anna van der Breggen. Vos rode flat-out to Wiebes’ left, crossing the finish line only a fraction after her rival, with UAE Team ADQ’s Lara Gillespie coming in third.

The first rider to break out of the peloton was VolkerWessels’ Maud Rijnbeek. The 22-year old made a successful break at 92km to go, with attempts to join her made by Celia Le Mouel (Ceratizit Pro Cycling) and Elyne Roussel (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93). At 86km to go, it appeared that only one of the chasers had succeeded, with Roussel caught by the peloton, and a tentative gap of 1:22 emerging between Le Mouel and the chasing peloton.

The peloton ultimately reassembled, and Koch and Magalhaes held a healthy lead, 1:46 ahead of the peloton. Koch took the 25 points in the intermediate sprint, with Magalhaes just behind. Further back, Vos arranged herself on the wheel of Wiebes in anticipation of the intermediate sprint, the rider in green looking back as she crossed the sprint line ahead of the yellow jersey in their first fight of the race.
