Haugset makes Tour history in Jura

Sigrid Haugset, a 27-year-old Norwegian rider, triumphed in a grueling Jura stage featuring over 2,500 meters of elevation gain. She achieved victory after the longest individual escape in Tours this decade, resisting attacks from Belgian rider Lotte Kopecky to cross the finish line alone.

This victory made Haugset the first Norwegian to wear the yellow jersey in Tour history. The stage was particularly demanding, featuring a first-category climb from the first kilometer and testing riders in extreme heat. Haugset, who previously overcame a broken hip during Paris-Roubaix, demonstrated remarkable resilience to claim her first career victory. argolida.life
