Cycling: Emma Norsgaard Claims Victory on Stage Six of Tour de France Femmes
In a thrilling finish, Denmark’s Emma Norsgaard emerged victorious in stage six of the Tour de France Femmes. Narrowly edging out Charlotte Kool, Norsgaard held onto her lead by mere meters.
The decisive moment came when Norsgaard joined a breakaway trio with almost 100km still to go from Albi to Blagnac. Despite being caught up by the chasing peloton led by Kool, she managed to outpace them all and cross the finish line first.
Lotte Kopecky secured third place, further extending her overall lead to an impressive 53 seconds.
Norsgaard’s triumph is also a significant achievement for her team Movistar, marking their second stage win in this year’s tour.
