Impressive second place for Kim in the opening stage

Kim Le Court delivered a remarkable performance today in the opening stage of the Tour de France Femmes. In a high-speed and nerve-wracking finale, the national champion of Mauritius sprinted to an impressive second place. As a result of her performance, Le Court will wear the green jersey, as the second rider in the points classification.

Kim her reaction after the finish of the first stage:

"It was hectic from the start with a crash in the neutral zone, but the team protected me the whole day putting me in a good position. That felt really nice. 

In the last lap and the final in general everything went really fast. I was really focused on the wheel in front of me, that I even didn't see Pauline (Ferrand-Prévot) go but the scenario would have been the same in any case because Marianne (Vos) was just the fastest and for sure on this kind of finish. But I'm still very proud of my second place and the support of the team, what was really perfect!
