What a great day for Puck Pieterse! On the same day, the FENIX-Deceuninck Dutch rider won stage 4 of Tour the France Femmes, earned the polka-dots jersey as the best climber and the white jersey as the leader of the youth classification. Moreover, it’s her first-ever victory on a World Tour road race.
The stage four of Tour de France Femmes was a very intense, 122,7 km-long race. The course went through two countries: from Valkenburg, in the Netherlands, to the city of Liège, in Belgium. Puck Pieterse won the stage in a final harsh sprint ahead of yellow jersey Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) and Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM).
“It’s unbelievable, actually. The last few days I had super-good legs, and today I didn’t feel my legs at all. To take the win here in a sprint against Demi, that’s really a dream come true,” said Pieterse.
