Marianne Vos (CCC-Liv) won the La Course by Le Tour de France with a powerful attack con the late climb in the centre of Pau. Vos caught passed Amanda Spratt (Mitchelton-Scott) at the top of the climb after Spratt had been on a solo attack for the last of the five 27km laps. Vos powered to the finish and won with a three-second gap to Leah Kirchmann (Team Sunweb) who beat Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (Bigla) in the sprint for second place.ADVERTISEMENT “My first La Course win was five years ago, to win it again now, on a different circuit, is a very special feeling,” said Vos. “I came out of the Giro Rosa with good motivation, and La Course was a good inspiration to give it an extra go. The break of Amanda Spratt was pretty dangerous, so my teammates had to do a lot of work to bring it back. When I saw it came down on the climb, I knew I had a chance. I went and just had the legs to continue.” More to follow.
