Marianne Vos' well-timed sprint wasn't enough to out-power her winning compatriot and rival Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx) in the long run-in to the finish line, where she finished second on stage 3 of the Tour de France Femmes in Montignac-Lascaux.

The Jumbo-Visma leader, who won two stages and wore the yellow jersey for five days in 2022, has yet to win a stage at this year's event that started on Sunday in Clermont-Ferrand, where she finished fourth.
