Race report
Margot Pompanon and Susanne Andersen open up a lead in the run-up to the Aspin, but they are caught at the bottom of the ascent.
Annemiek van Vleuten accelerates 5 kilometres under the top of the Aspin. Demi Vollering and Kasia Niewiadoma follow her move. The three reach the summit 50 seconds ahead of the first chase group with yellow jersey Lotte Kopecky on board.
Niewiadoma leaves the Dutch stars behind on descent. Van Vleuten and Vollering look at each other, while the Polish rider opens up a 1 minute gap. The chasers rejoin Van Vleuten and Vollering just before the Col du Tourmalet.
