Elise Wiebes wins stage two of the Tour de France Femmes, securing her second consecutive stage victory of the event and extending her lead in the overall standings. The Globe and Mail and Channel NewsAsia report that this is Wiebes’s seventh Tour de France Femmes stage win, and that it is her first such win while wearing the yellow jersey. By finishing first on stage two, she retains the yellow jersey, which indicates she remains the race leader in the general classification going into the next stage. The coverage in both outlets centers on Wiebes’s ability to convert her position as leader into another stage triumph, rather than only defending the jersey. With the win, Wiebes strengthens her advantage and continues to set the pace for the race, while other riders remain to contest subsequent stages and try to challenge her overall lead.
