Altro giro, altro colpaccio da lontano di una neoprofessionista: Ricarda Bauernfeind, della Canyon Sram, vince la quinta tappa del Tour de France femminile davanti a Marlen Reusser (SD Worx) e Liane Lippert (Movistar). Nelle prime dieci una vivace Soraya Paladin (compagna di squadra della vincitrice) e una chirurgica Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl Trek). Resta leader Lotte Kopecky, che conserva 43 secondi di vantaggio sulla capitana Demi Vollering e detiene anche la maglia verde. Anzi 1'03'', dato che la Vollering è stata poi penalizzata di 20'' per essere rimasta troppo a lungo in scia all'ammiraglia in seguito a un problema meccanico. Sale così al secondo posto della classifica generale Ashleigh Moolman (AG Insurance) e al terzo la nostra Longo Borghini.

LA CRONACA

Dopo la frazione più lunga del Tour ieri a Rodez, oggi si resta in Occitania con una distanza ben minore: 126 chilometri con partenza in collina da Onet Le Chateau e una sequela di muri e dentelli fino al traguardo in pianura ad Albi.

Un profilo che invita a nozze le attaccanti, ma che parte con alcuni DNS (tra cui Lorena Wiebes, pedina importante della SD Worx e vincitrice l'altroieri a Montignac Lascaux: a fermarla, una febbre intestinale) e porta con sé alcuni ritiri in corsa, tra cui Evita Muzic (FDJ Suez) che non stava bene da un paio di giorni.

Nelle battute iniziali vanno via in undici: Paula Patiño (Movistar), Mischa Bredewold (SD Worx), Claire Steels (Israel Premier Tech), Olivia Baril (UAE), Amber Kraak (Jumbo Visma), Ella Wyllie (Lifeplus Wahoo), Clara Emond (Arkea), Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance), Clara Koppenburg (Cofidis), Loes Adegeest (FDJ Suez) e Hannah Ludwig (Uno X). Il gruppo però non lascia fare, complice la presenza di una Steels a meno di 3 minuti dalla maglia gialla in classifica: ritmo alto e forte selezione, con una quarantina di unità a rimanere nel plotone principale e tantissime atlete in gruppetti attardati, tra cui Marianne Vos ed Elisa Balsamo ma anche Anouska Koster, che lascia la maglia a pois alla mattatrice di ieri Yara Kastelijn (Fenix Deceuninck). A poco più di metà gara, sulla prima asperità un po' più impegnativa ossia la côte de Najac, le fuggitive vengono riprese.

Al km 90, sulla côte de Laguepie, attacca Ricarda Bauernfeind: dapprima insieme a Claire Steels, che però cede subito alle fatiche della fuga precedente e lascia da sola la bavarese. La giovane compagna di squadra della Niewiadoma supera in solitaria la côte de Monesties con oltre un minuto sulle avversarie, trainate da una Marlen Reusser perennemente "vento in faccia". Un super lavoro d'inseguimento, quello della campionessa svizzera, che non basta a riprendere la Bauernfeind, e anzi produce un buco che permette a Liane Lippert di mettersi a ruota e recuperare qualche secondino. Alle loro spalle, Lotte Kopecky regola la volata delle big. In coda, infine, alcune atlete giungono fuori tempo massimo: tra loro Maria Giulia Confalonieri.

Domani si riparte dalla stessa città d'arrivo odierna, per un piattone da velociste fino a Blagnac.
