'It's unreal' –Sigrid Haugset takes victory on stage 3 of the Tour de France Femmes with the longest solo breakaway victory in race's history
Uno-X Mobility rider holds off Lotte Kopecky for 89km for historic win, and moves into the yellow jersey
Sigrid Haugset, a Norwegian national champion, claimed an unprecedented victory at Tour de France Femmes stage 3 by setting the longest solo breakaway record in the race's history. Riding for Uno-X Mobility, Haugset led the majority of the 156.5km stage and held on to secure her solo triumph. The 37°C temperatures didn't deter the tough rider, who finished the stage with a wide grin.
She expressed her disbelief at her achievement, saying she never imagined it possible. Marianne Vos of Team Visma-Lease a Bike finished third in the stage and claimed the third position in the General Classification after the stage.
