Race Recap
Bauernfeind wins stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes
Ricarda Bauernfeind (CSR) soloed to victory after a long range attack with 40km to go, upsetting the sprinter and claiming the biggest win of her young career today at the Tour de France Femmes. The young German finished 22 seconds ahead of Marlen Reusser (SDW) and Liane Lippert (MOV).
"To be honest, I can’t believe it, it’s just incredible," Bauernfeind said. I had the support from my teammates, from the car behind, all the partners… Everyone helped me and supported us. It was an incredible team ride. First we had to chase the breakaway because we didn’t have anyone there. My teammates did a fantastic job. Then, it was up to me, I tried to attack and it worked out. It’s fantastic. As a team, we waited for such a win all year, and now we did it."
Lotte Kopecky (SDW) is still in the yellow jersey with three stages remaining.
