Norwegian rider Sigrid Haugset wins stage three of the Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift in a long solo breakaway and takes the race lead, moving into the yellow jersey. Multiple outlets describe Haugset’s decisive attack early in the hilly route between Geneva and Poligny, which is 156.6 km and includes four categorized climbs. She launches the move with roughly 80–85 km remaining and remains clear to the finish, covering either 68 km or up to an 88 km solo ride depending on the way the distance is reported. The stage also features the final climbs where she is first over the last categorized ascent, including the category 4 Côte de Chaux-Champagny. Haugset holds off Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky, who finishes second, with a gap variously described as about 30 seconds behind. A larger group follows further back, including a nine-rider group reportedly more than two minutes down. Dutch rider Lorena Wiebes is mentioned as previously holding the yellow jersey and as dropping late in the stage, as Haugset claims the overall lead on the day.
