Norway's Sigrid Haugset claimed a shock victory on stage three of the Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift after spending 68 kilometres alone at the front of the race. Haugset attacked early and held off the chasing peloton to take the win, in what was widely seen as an unexpected result. The stage was her first major triumph on the world stage, as she finished well clear of the pack. The 68km solo move proved decisive, with Haugset building enough of a lead to survive the pursuit behind her. The victory marks a significant career milestone for the Norwegian rider, who was not considered among the pre-stage favourites.
