But some difficult minutes, Niewiadoma regrouped, dug deep and was able to shorten the gap to Vollering who won the stage on Alpe d’Huez.  Rooijakkers was second on the stage, and Évita Muzic (FDJ-Suez) came around Niewiadoma to take third.

Vas outsprinted Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) and Liane Lippert (Movistar) to claim the stage win while an injured Vollering limped over the line in 50th place, 1:47 off the winning time. After coming second on the stage Niewiadoma took over the yellow jersey from Vollering, who now sits back in ninth place overall, 1:19 off the lead spot.

Stage 1 - Tour de France Femmes: Charlotte Kool wins stage 1 sprint in The Hague and takes first yellow jersey / As it happened

Charlotte Kool (DSM-Firmenich PostNL) won the opening stage of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes in The Hague and so pulled on the first yellow jersey of this year's race with a superbly-timed sprint finish.   

The Dutch rider took advantage of a mechanical problem that slowed expected favourite Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime). She was hit by Anniina Ahtosalo (Uno-X Mobility), losing her derailleur, her chain and so any power on the pedals. 

Ahtosalo finished fast to take second and Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) was third.

2024 Tour de France Femmes Contenders

Defending champion Demi Vollering (SD Worx) is likely to return to the 2024 Tour de France Femmes to try and win a second consecutive overall title after securing the yellow jersey in the 2023 edition.

Annemiek van Vleuten, the winner of the 2022 Tour de France Femmes and fourth in 2023, has retired from professional cycling after a sparkling 16-year career and so will not be competing in the third edition of the event.

Two-time podium finisher Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM), gravel world champion, will line up as one of the main contenders for the overall title.

Road race world champion Lotte Kopecky (also SD Worx) won the opening stage last year and wore the yellow jersey for six days, climbed with the best to the summit of the Col du Tourmalet, and then stormed to third place in the time trial in Pau. She closed out the eight-day race by winning the green points jersey and taking second overall behind her teammate Vollering. She will be one to watch in the 2024 edition of the Tour de France Femmes.

Juliette Labous (Team dsm-firmenich) was the top French rider in last year's Tour de France Femmes, and other riders to watch will be Évita Muzic and Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig of FDJ-SUEZ as well as Gaia Realini (Lidl-Trek).
