The Dutchwoman Charlotte Kool claimed a win on home soil in The Hague but the British rider Natalie Grinczer abandoned after a fall
Dutchwoman claims win on home soil in The Hague, his compatriot Charlotte Kool continued the winning streak for the Netherlands, sprinting to victory in stage one of the Tour de France Femmes in The Hague.
On what seemed a relatively benign course, there were incidents almost immediately when a crash in the neutral zone the saw British rider Natalie Grinczer fall and then abandon, after fighting for survival for much of the stage. Lotte Kopecky, who raced in the final day of competition on Sunday in the Olympic velodrome and was second overall to her SD Worx Protime teammate Demi Vollering in last year’s, was one of those who prioritised the Olympics over travelling to the start in Rotterdam. After winning bronze in the last world championship, the Belgian rider, second overall in this year’s women’s Giro, could finish only fourth in the Olympic omnium, a disappointing result that may make her reflect on that decision.
