Lorena Wiebes wins the 147.2km third stage of the women's Tour de France from Collonges-la-Rouge to Montignac-Lascaux in a sprint.

Julie Van De Velde (Fenix-Deceuninck) livens up the day with a solitary escape that gives her the polka dot jersey; the Belgian, born in 1993, begins to believe in the enterprise when, with 5 km to go, she maintains an advantage of over 30” over the main group.

The last kilometer is spectacular : Van De Velde tries to hold on to the lead, but is reached in the last hundreds of meters by the sprint initiated by the yellow jersey Kopecky, who perfectly launches the sprint of his partner Wiebes who beats Vos in the sprint . Fourth Chiara Consonni, fifth Elisa Balsamo.
