Haugset takes shock Tour stage win after huge break

Core Impact Points

• Sigrid Haugset becomes the first Norwegian woman to win a stage in the Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift.
• Haugset's victory comes after a grueling 156.5km stage from Geneva in Switzerland, where she established a healthy lead and held off the challenge of two-time world champion Lotte Kopecky.
• The 27-year-old rider from Uno X Mobility now leads the general classification by two minutes and two seconds, but is expected to fall away once the race hits the mountains.
• Haugset's win marks a historic moment for Norwegian women's cycling, following the country's football team reaching the World Cup quarter-finals and Torstein Traeen wearing the yellow jersey for two stages at the men's Tour.
• The Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift continues with a 21km time trial to Dijon on stage four, where the favorites for the overall yellow jersey will look to regain their positions.
