García Becomes Oldest Tour de France Femmes Stage Winner

Mavi García, the 41-year-old Spanish cyclist, became the oldest stage winner in the history of the Tour de France Femmes with her solo victory on the 110.4km second stage from Brest to Quimper. García attacked with 10km to go and held off the peloton to secure her first career stage win. Lorena Wiebes finished second, while Kim Le Court Pienaar of Mauritius took third and claimed the yellow jersey from Marianne Vos, who retained the green jersey for the points classification. The stage was marked by aggressive racing and late attacks, but García maintained her lead through the final climb. Dutch sprinter Charlotte Kool withdrew from the race before the stage due to injuries from a recent crash. Stage three is expected to be flatter and favor the sprinters.
