At nearly 40 years old, van Vleuten has largely won the general classification with almost four minutes ahead of her compatriot Demi Vollering, second, who nevertheless retains the polka dot jersey.
Annemiek van Vleuten succeeds Jeannie Longo whose list of winners has been interrupted since 1989. To complete her coronation of a second stage victory, the leader of Movistar flew six kilometers from the top of the Planche after an uncertain first part of the race, punctuated by mechanical incidents and three changes of mount.
Sign of the Dutch supremacy, her rivals from SD Worx and Trek-Segafredo were reduced to accelerating when the 2019 world champion experienced these problems with her new bike, all yellow for the occasion, at around sixty kilometers from the finish.
