Here’s the jersey wearers on the fifth stage.
Wednesday’s report from Liege, from Jeremy Whittle.
The départ fictif is underway.
Preamble
If Demi Vollering was pipped at the post by Puck Pieterse, she is in control of the race by only 22 seconds. Today will see another familiar name in the cycling calendar, Bastogne, receive a visit, as the starting point to a rolling stage to the spa town of Amneville. So is this a day f0r another breakaway? It’s possible, even if Vollering seems to have a tight rein. Will the Dutch domination continue?
