  "account": "Lorena Wiebes of the Netherlands secured two consecutive stage victories at the Tour de France Femmes, maintaining her lead as overall champion. The Dutch cyclist faced obstacles on stage two, lacking a leadout from her team SD Worx-Protime, which was now depleted after chasing down a solo move by Riejanne Markus (Lidl-Trek). However, once she broke free from the pack, Wiebes launched an explosive sprint to claim her second back-to-back win and retain the maillot jaune. Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) and Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) finished second and third, respectively.",
