  "account": "Sigrid Haugset of Norway claimed victory in stage three of the women's Tour de France on Monday, taking the lead and yellow jersey from Dutch rider Lorena Wiebes. Haugset, representing Uno-X Mobility, executed a bold solo attack mid-way through a 156.6km route between Geneva and Poligny in the Jura region. Despite Lotte Kopecky attempting to reel her in, Kopecky ultimately fell back in the final stages, finishing more than a minute behind Haugset. Haugset expressed her disbelief at becoming the first Norwegian to win a Tour stage, crediting her teammates and the team car for their support. The race's top favorites, including reigning champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot and Demi Vollering, finished together, more than three minutes behind Haugset.",
  "summary": "The Uno-X Mobility team rider launched a gutsy solo attack less than halfway into the hilly 156.6km route between Geneva and Poligny and held off Lotte Kopecky.",
