00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:03 It's a debut appearance in the women's

00:12 tour for Tewksbury and Gloucester today,

00:14 stage three, 107.9 kilometers.

00:18 Two Queen of the Mountains points

00:20 and two intermediate sprints along the route

00:23 await the riders.

00:25 And we're off for the neutralized section,

00:28 11.6 kilometers of neutral to date.

00:34 Kilometer zero, away we go for this stage.

00:37 This is where we expect the general classification

00:41 in this year's women's tour to be given a real shake,

00:44 the first of three big days.

00:48 We're starting to get a little move on the right here.

00:50 And this looks like that style of Rihanna Marcus

00:54 from Jumbo Visma.

00:55 She lost some time yesterday, Hannah.

00:57 This is a perfect move here.

00:59 Yeah, unfortunately, she was involved

01:00 in one of those crashes towards the back end of the stage

01:02 yesterday.

01:03 So she's lost over 4 and 1/2 minutes at this point.

01:06 So she's no risk to that general classification.

01:08 And she's been given space at the moment.

01:10 Time move.

01:12 Rihanna Marcus, she comes towards the top

01:14 of this Skoda Queen of the Mountain.

01:15 She's going to crest this and take with it those six points

01:19 towards that classification.

01:20 So Rihanna Marcus crests the summit.

01:22 But in the distance, she saw there some dark clouds.

01:25 The weather's coming in.

01:27 But it's Elise Chabot that goes over the top,

01:29 takes second place.

01:30 And you can see now some of our big names

01:32 in our general classification riders coming over the top.

01:35 But gaps are starting to open.

01:37 40 seconds to Marcus.

01:38 You see the cracks that are beginning

01:40 to appear in the peloton just from the ferocious pace

01:43 from Chabot alone.

01:45 There's confirmation of your results.

01:47 So Rihanna Marcus takes the six.

01:49 Importantly, they're five for Elise Chabot.

01:52 And no points scored on that climb for Christine Magiris.

01:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:58 Christine Magiris takes two seconds.

02:03 Gladys Verhulst taking that one.

02:04 One rider from Uno-X trying to get on terms.

02:07 There's confirmation of your results.

02:09 We have one Queen of the Mountains down.

02:12 One sprint, one climb to come.

02:15 29 kilometers to go.

02:17 Gladys Verhulst of L'Ecole Wahoo.

02:19 Christine Magiris of Team SD Works joining breakaway leader

02:24 Rihanna Marcus as we hit the second categorized climb

02:27 of the day.

02:27 Speech House.

02:29 But Gladys Verhulst starting to lose touch

02:33 with this breakaway group.

02:34 Marcus setting the pace on the front.

02:36 Going to be six maximum points over the top of Speech House

02:40 here for Christine Magiris.

02:41 There's no challenge here from Rihanna Marcus

02:43 whether the stages began to take its toll on her

02:46 having been out front alone for such a long period of time.

02:49 But five points to the Dutchwoman,

02:51 six to the Luxembourgish rider.

02:53 And the points behind are now critical.

02:55 Look at this, the sprint.

02:56 Elise Chabet, Ashley Moorman passing Kasia Niewiadoma.

03:00 The rest of the riders targeting the GC in this race

03:03 have got to be mindful here as Kasia Niewiadoma, third in line

03:06 here, is going to take points as well.

03:08 But Chabet leads that group over.

03:10 And we're starting to see some splits.

03:12 You saw Elise along Obegini just sensing the danger

03:15 and having to make up quite a number of places

03:18 there when she saw Niewiadoma beginning to go clear.

03:21 And there you have it, six to Magiris, four to Chabet.

03:24 That now puts them level on 18 points.

03:27 That's a categorized climb.

03:29 So there's still plenty more decisive sections to come.

03:32 And the challenge for those points

03:33 has done some damage to the peloton behind.

03:37 This is the uncategorized climb that we've

03:40 been looking towards today.

03:41 13% maximum gradient.

03:43 Marcus and Magiris swept up by the peloton.

03:46 And it's Kasia Niewiadoma, that familiar style

03:49 of the Polish rider from Canyon Tram.

03:51 And look how much damage that she's doing.

03:54 She's really splintering this front group now.

03:56 And Marcus taking a look over her shoulder.

03:59 She's going to have to accelerate

04:00 if she wants to try and remain with this select group that's

04:03 going clear now.

04:04 So cool, so calm.

04:05 Rihanna Marcus, Ashley Moorman-Pasio just alongside

04:08 Niewiadoma, Elise Salonga-Borghini

04:11 in that green, white, and red Italian champions jersey.

04:13 Elise Chabet, Alex Manley in the white, blue, and pink there.

04:17 And on the back, it looks like the rider from EF Education,

04:21 Tipco, Silicon Valley Bank, Veronica Uwes is there.

04:26 On to sprint two, and Elise Chabet leading out.

04:29 Three, two, and one bonus seconds.

04:31 And you can see this leading group still

04:33 managing to get clear.

04:34 There's not a lot of cohesion in terms of working it.

04:37 But Elise Chabet sprinting it out here.

04:39 She wants the seconds.

04:40 Manley took an absolute flyer from the back of the group

04:45 there.

04:45 Left it quite late.

04:47 And she just manages to steal that one second.

04:50 So Chabet takes three, Moorman-Pasio takes two.

04:53 Are they going to stay away to the finish?

04:56 Pfeiffer-Giorgi now moving up.

04:58 She's taken over from Megan Jastrub, Manley, Longo-Borghini,

05:01 and Uwe is poised and ready with Numan over in that white,

05:04 yeah, red, and blue Czech champions jersey right there.

05:07 And take a look at how calm, cool, and collected

05:10 Alex Manley is.

05:11 She's really focused on this.

05:13 She doesn't look too phased.

05:14 She looks focused on following the wheel of Lorena Wiebes

05:17 at the moment as we go through one kilometer

05:20 to go under that flamme rouge.

05:22 So Ellen von Dijk on the front, then Pfeiffer-Giorgi

05:25 in that white jersey, the red, white, and blue bands

05:27 of the British champion.

05:28 Carline Swinkles now through to the front for Jumbo-Visma.

05:32 Her teammate, Corinne Lebecky, about five riders back

05:35 as they swing left here.

05:36 But it's the British champion that takes that corner.

05:39 And look at this now, trying to deliver Wiebes perfectly

05:43 as Manley and Bussite get on terms.

05:45 There's not a gap between Lorena Wiebes and Pfeiffer-Giorgi.

05:48 Wiebes with full trust of the Englishwoman

05:52 and Manley having to make a slight acceleration there.

05:56 Pfeiffer-Giorgi now winds it up on the front.

05:58 Wiebes glances left as Manley goes.

06:00 Lorena Wiebes now launches a sprint.

06:02 Saw Alex Manley coming alongside of her.

06:05 Look at the turn of speed now of Lorena Wiebes.

06:08 She sees the finish line ahead of her.

06:10 It's going to be a second stage victory of the women's tour here

06:14 in Gloucester, timed to absolute perfection.

06:17 Yet again, Lorena Wiebes takes the stage with it.

06:21 Ten bonus seconds.

06:22 And that should be the yellow jersey as well.

06:25 The way that Pfeiffer-Giorgi piloted Lorena Wiebes there

06:28 into that finish was phenomenal.

06:31 And Manley tried to get on terms,

06:33 but the Dutchwoman just had that explosive power.

06:35 She had indeed.

06:36 What a team yet again, DSM.

06:40 Lorena Wiebes, two stage wins in the points last year,

06:42 two stage wins this year.

06:44 You take a look at this moment, Alex Manley on the left hand side

06:47 trying to get the the jump on Lorena Wiebes.

06:50 And Wiebes taking a look over her left hand shoulder,

06:53 saw that Manley was coming.

06:55 And that was the moment to go.

06:56 That was the moment to unleash that raw power.

06:58 The acceleration on the Dutchwoman is exceptional.

07:02 And again, two bike lengths over Manley.

07:08 There's confirmation of your results.

07:11 Second win in two days for Lorena Wiebes of team DSM.

07:14 Alex Manley getting up there in second for Bike Exchange.

07:17 J.Co. Corrin Lebecky in third spot.

07:20 Lorena Wiebes, perhaps not the rider

07:25 some people would have tipped as a winner today,

07:28 but she proves her versatility.

07:30 And deservedly so.

07:35 The Combativity Award goes to Team Jumbo-Visma's

07:38 Rihanna Marcus, a great day out in the lead.

07:41 Micah Vanderdaun retains the lead in the Pillar Red Sprints jersey

07:45 for Le Col Wahoo.

07:47 Christine Magiris still in the green Skoda Queen of the Mountains jersey,

07:52 but it's tight level on points now with Elise Chabais.

07:55 She was second in the Breast Cancer now, Pink Points jersey going into today.

08:00 Now has it in her own right. Lorena Wiebes, our points leader.

08:05 Ten bonus seconds on the line now puts Lorena Wiebes in the yellow jersey.

08:10 The general classification now looks like this after stage three.

08:15 Lorena Wiebes takes a 13 second advantage over Sofia Bertizolo and Alex Manley.

08:20 18 seconds separating the top 10 overall, but with a tough stage to come tomorrow.

08:24 Expect those gaps to grow.
