The breakaway by Le Court and Faulkner is successful in the first stage of the Tour of Britain for elite women from Dalby Forest to Redcar, covering 85 kilometers. The surprising athlete from Mauritius, Kim Le Court (AG Insurance Soudal), who we remember as the winner of Liège-Bastogne-Liège, prevailed over the American and Olympic champion Kristen Faulkner, who had attacked together about twenty kilometers from the finish. The peloton, which was only 5" behind, was led by European champion Lorena Wiebes ahead of Zanetti and Ferguson.
