  "account": "The current leader of the Tour de France Femmes 2026, Lorena Wiebes of SD Worx - Protime, demonstrated her strength with a swift sprint during the initial stage, securing her position at the top of the general classification. Wiebes managed to outrun general classification rivals Kim Le Court-Pienaar and Demi Vollering, accumulating a four-second and six-second lead respectively. This is the second time Wiebes has donned the coveted yellow jersey, having made history as the inaugural wearer of the jersey four years ago. Alongside the general classification, Wiebes also leads the points classification. Charlotte Kool, a notable competitor, was the only one to compete for points during the intermediate sprint. In the mountains classification, Océane Mahé from Ma Petite Entreprise will be awarded the coveted polka-dot jersey during the second stage. Paula Blasi and Isabella Holmgren, both representing UAE Team L'IMAD, will wear the white jersey as the race's top young rider, alongside Antonia Niedermaier from Canyon-SRAM.",
