Tour de France Femmes Stage 5: Blanka Vas sprints to victory

Blanka Vas (SD Worx-Protime) outsprinted Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//SRAM) to victory on stage five, while Liane Lippert (Movistar) took third.

“It’s crazy. I still can’t believe it,” Vas said afterwards. “I don’t know what to say. I did not expect this today, because I felt so bad during the race. Lorena said to me to believe in myself, it helped a lot. I can’t believe it. My radio was not working so I didn’t know what happened at the back. Demi crashed, and we lost yellow, so that’s a shame.”
