From the very first kilometres, Loes took the initiative with several attacks, finally breaking away with 80 kilometres to go. Her audacity enabled her to open up a significant gap before two other riders joined her.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Loes held her ground in the leading trio, fending off the onslaught of the peloton until just 2 kilometres from the finish. Despite the return of the chasing pack, her courage was rewarded with the fighting spirit award. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fdj-suez.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/LOES_PRIX_-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fdj-suez.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/LOES_PRIX_-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.fdj-suez.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/LOES_PRIX_-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This step has confirmed the commitment of our team, which is ready to meet the challenges ahead with the same determination.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slowed by a crash in the final kilometres, Evita MUZIC finished 10th on the stage. Cecilie UTTRUP-LUDWIG also showed that she had recovered from her crash and finished in the same group.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This step has confirmed the commitment of our team, which is ready to meet the challenges ahead with the same determination.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stage 6 : Remiremont &#8211; Morteau (160 km)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomorrow, the tension will be ratcheted up a notch in the Tour de France for Women with a fearsome stage through the Vosges mountains, promising more than 2,200 metres of climbing. This demanding route will put the riders to the test, with two major climbs in particular being the judges of the day. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First and foremost, , <strong>la mont\u00e9e de la Roche du Pr\u00eatre<\/strong> (5,5 km \u00e0 5,6%) offrira un d\u00e9fi consid\u00e9rable, particuli\u00e8rement avec son dernier kilom\u00e8tre culminant \u00e0 une pente impressionnante de 12%. Puis, les cyclistes devront affronter <strong>la C\u00f4te des Fins<\/strong> (1.8 km at 6.9%), a short but intense obstacle that could shake up the rankings. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For our leader <strong>\u00c9vita Muzic<\/strong>, cette \u00e9tape aura une saveur particuli\u00e8re. Ancienne pensionnaire du VC Morteau Montbenoit, elle sera sur des routes famili\u00e8res et aura \u00e0 c\u0153ur de livrer une performance \u00e0 la hauteur des attentes de ses supporters locaux. Ce sera l\u2019occasion id\u00e9ale pour elle de briller, sur un terrain qui lui est cher.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> \n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What an effort from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LoesAdegeest?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LoesAdegeest<\/a> in a 70km breakaway \ud83d\udc99<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EvitaMuzic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@EvitaMuzic<\/a> (10) once again in the Top 10 of the stage. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TDFF2024?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TDFF2024<\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeTourFemmes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LeTourFemmes<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FmKKzu2xwS\">pic.twitter.com\/FmKKzu2xwS<\/a><\/p>&mdash; FDJ &#8211; SUEZ (@FDJ_SUEZ) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FDJ_SUEZ\/status\/1824092800582873520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 15, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n <\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stage 5 : Bastogne &#8211; Amn\u00e9ville (150 km) The fifth stage of the Tour de France Femmes 2024, from Bastogne to Amn\u00e9ville, highlighted the audacity of our Dutch rider Loes Adegeest and the team&#8217;s fighting spirit.
