The Tour de France Femmes showcased breakthrough riders like Maëva Squiban, who achieved two stage victories. Despite the focus on sprint and GC teams, breakaway attempts held significance in the competition. Notable finishes included Ruth Edwards and Shirin van Anrooij, who placed behind Squiban on stage 6, while Niamh Fisher-Black and Yara Kastelijn also earned commendable positions the following day. Expertise in timing and commitment is essential for riders seeking a successful breakaway in the challenging landscape of modern cycling.
"Everybody wants to be in the break, but I think you kind of need to [try] until it's stretched out a bit so everyone's a bit tired."
"If you want the break to stick, you really have to actually push that first, you know, couple of kilometres at least, because the peloton is always coming."
