88 : GAME, HAUGSET AND MATCH
What a performance ! Breaking away from a group as the race passed through Morbier, at the foot of the climb to the Col de la Savine, Sigrid Haugset pulled off an impressive 88-kilometre solo ride across the Jura roads to claim victory in Poligny this Monday. The Norwegian thus beat the previous record held by Annemiek van Vleuten, who won at Le Markstein in 2022 after riding 62 kilometres alone over the Vosges mountains. That day, the Dutch rider had also taken the Yellow Jersey.
2 : NOVICE IN VICTORIES
Just thirty-six days after winning her national title, 27-year-old Sigrid Haugset claimed her… second professional victory this Monday ! She follows in the footsteps of Ricarda Bauernfeind (second win in Albi in 2023) and Justine Ghekiere (in Le Grand-Bornand in 2024). Two riders have done even better : Dutchwomen Yara Kastelijn (winner in Rodez in 2023) and Puck Pieterse (in Liège in 2024) both opened their professional win accounts with their respective victories. By comparison, Marianne Vos took the 241st win of her career when she crossed the finish line first in Provins at the end of stage 2 of the 2022 edition.
10 : NORWAY JOINS A NEW LEAGUE
Thanks to Sigrid Haugset this Monday, Norway, along with the Uno-X Mobility team, secured its first-ever stage victory at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Prior to this, the Scandinavian nation’s best result had been an eighth-place by Susanne Andersen on stage 3 of the 2023 Tour. Norway thus becomes the tenth country to win a stage in the race, joining a list that includes the Netherlands (19 wins), France (5), Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Denmark (2), as well as Hungary, Spain and Mauritius (1).
9 : RED-BLUE-WHITE
Nordic cross in Norway’s colors on her back, Sigrid Haugset became the ninth national champion to triumph at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, after completing the stage's final false flat kilometre at an average speed of 37.9 km/h. Before her, Danish Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (stage 3 in 2022), Belgian Lotte Kopecky (stage 1 in 2023), German Liane Lippert (stage 2 in 2023), Dutch Demi Vollering (stage 7 in 2023), Swiss Marlen Reusser (stage 8 in 2023), Hungarian Blanka Vas (stage 5 in 2024), Dutch Lorena Wiebes (stages 3 and 4 in 2025), and Mauritian Kim Le Court-Pienaar (stage 5 in 2025) had all celebrated victories while wearing their respective national colors. Among the men, the last Norwegian champion to win a stage of the Tour de France was Thor Hushovd, in Arenberg in 2010.
1 : NORWAY DRESSES ITSELF IN YELLOW
Thanks to Sigrid Haugset’s success in Poligny, Norway secured its first Yellow Jersey at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Until this Monday, only five countries had achieved this feat : the Netherlands (nineteen times), Belgium (six times), Mauritius and Poland (four times), and France (twice). It has been a brilliant summer for Norway and Uno-X Mobility, as Torstein Træen also wore the Yellow Jersey during the men's Tour de France for two days.
2’02’’ : A COMFORTABLE MARGIN
With a 2-minute-2-second lead over Kim Le Court-Pienaar in the general classification heading into the individual time trial tomorrow, Sigrid Haugset holds the largest gap ever recorded between the leader and the runner-up after three days of racing at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. This far exceeds the 55-second margin Lotte Kopecky held over Liane Lippert in 2023. Conversely, the smallest gap after three stages is 3 seconds, recorded between Yellow Jersey wearer Demi Vollering and Lorena Wiebes in 2024.
3 : PIETERSE CLAIMS BACK THE POLKA-DOT
First to cross the Col de la Faucille — first climb of this edition exceeding 1,000 metres in altitude — and the summit of the Côte de Lajoux, Puck Pieterse claimed the polka-dot jersey with a total of 18 points. She thus dons the jersey for the third time in her career, having previously worn it during stages 4 and 5 of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. She has moved within one point of her compatriot Femke Gerritse (4 polka-dot jerseys) but remains well behind the Swiss rider Élise Chabbey (9). Pieterse also wore the white jersey five times and won the young rider classification in 2024.
32 : AN EXPERIENCED PODIUM
With an average age of 32 years and 176 days, Sigrid Haugset (27), Lotte Kopecky (30) and Marianne Vos (39) make up the third-oldest podium in the history of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. The three riders are surpassed only by the average age of 32 years and 345 days from the Épernay stage in 2022 (won by Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig ahead of Marianne Vos and Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio) and, most notably, the 33 years and 252 days recorded on the podium at Plumelec during the opening stage of the 2025 edition (won by Marianne Vos ahead of Kim Le Court-Pienaar and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot). Having featured in all three of these stages, Vos secured a top-three finish for the 13th time today, a record.
