Norway's Sigrid Haugset won the third stage of the Women's Tour de France on Monday, seizing the overall lead and the yellow jersey from Dutch rider Lorena Wiebes. With this victory, Haugset became the first Norwegian to win a stage at the Tour de France Femmes.
Riding for the Uno-X Mobility team, Haugset launched a gutsy solo attack less than halfway into the hilly 156.6km route between Geneva and Poligny. She maintained a long solo run through to the finish line to secure the stage win.
During her breakaway, Haugset successfully held off Belgium's Lotte Kopecky to claim the victory and take command of the general classification.
