Franziska Koch takes yellow jersey from Zoe Backstedt with breakaway performance at Simac Ladies Tour
Briefly

Koch, reflecting on her stage performance, stated, "The group was pretty big, and my DS told me that I was the best-placed rider in GC in the group. Then I was eager to ride hard. I tried to keep the distance to the peloton as big as possible and went full gas."
Koch expressed her excitement and surprise at her achievement, saying, "It did come a bit unexpected, but my motivation is still good at the end of the season, and it's also my first GC leader's jersey. It's a new experience, and I'm excited for the next days."
Koch shared her determination, stating, "It would be coming full circle. A stage win in 2019, if I could add the GC now, that would be great. Everything is possible. It is going to be difficult, but I will give my best and see what happens."
