20, preventing 90
Charlotte Kool doubled up, scoring his 2nd win at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, climbing up to 20 career wins, and, in turn, preventing Lorena Wiebes, 2nd at the finish, to post her 90th professional win
KOOL VS. WIEBES
Kool outsprints Wiebes, with an average of 58.0 km/h in the final km and a top speed of 67.5 km/h to claim the stage win.
FIRST 1-2 SINCE 2022
Charlotte Kool is the first rider with back-to-back wins since her compatriot Annemiek Van Vleuten won in Le Markstein and la Super Planche des Belles Filles in 2022 (stages 7 and 8).
A FAST QOM
Ruth Edwards, chasing back to the main Peloton after an earlier crash collected the Zijdeweg Strava QOM with a time of 1'26" and an average speed of 48.6 km/h. The Peloton averaged 40.2 km/h over the same segment...and the average speed of all amateur riders on that segment is 21.7 km/h!
DUTCH PODIUM LOCKOUT
For the 6th time in history, the Netherlands locked the first 3 places at the finish with Kool, Wiebes and Vos. The previous instance had been in Rodez last year with Yara Kastelijn, Demi Vollering, Anouska Koster.
5TH PODIUM
5th podium at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift for Lorena Wiebes: 3 wins (Paris, Saint-Dié-des-Vosges 2022; Montignac-Lascaux 2023), 2 second places (Clermont-Ferrand 2023; Rotterdam 2024).
VOS EQUALS KOPECKY
7th stage podium for Marianne Vos, equalling the best value for an active rider, Lotte Kopecky.
40
20 career wins for Kool is not the round number in this stage: the Netherlands are the first country with 40 stage wins at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. France and Italy follow at 32 and 16 respectively.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Kool and Wiebes is not an unusual sight at the top of the classifications: it’s the 8th time it happens in 2024. The former was just 24 days ago at the Baloise Ladies Tour. Kool reversed a trend, as in all their 1-2s this season, the winner had always been Wiebes.
NEW ALL-TIME RECORD
At 45.057 km/h this was the fastest road stage in history, considering both the 21st century and 20th century editions, the first one run at at least 45 km/h.
