Le Court takes Tour green jersey with Great Orme stage win

Kim Le Court of Mauritius secured the overall lead in the Tour of Britain Women by winning stage three, which culminated in the Great Orme, north Wales. The AG Insurance-Soudal rider outpaced her competitors with three kilometers remaining after a challenging 104.7-kilometer race from Mold. Le Court crossed the finish line 13 seconds ahead of Germany's Liane Lippert (Movistar) and seven seconds behind Sweden's Caroline Andersson (Liv Alula Jayco).

This victory marks Le Court's second green jersey win, following her triumph in 2022, but she remains cautious, acknowledging her crash last year's stage. The race, which began under scrutiny due to the tragic death of Fin Tarling, saw strong performances from the sprinters, with Wiebes losing the overall and red points jerseys to Le Court.

Belgium's Lauren Dickson claimed the blue queen of the mountains jersey, leading the competition by 12 points. The final stage of the race, a 138.3-kilometer hilly route to Hay on Wye, awaits the cyclists on Saturday.
