Tour de Normandie 2023 WE – Stage 2 – La Haye – Flamanville : 103 km
The 41st edition of the Tour de Normandie is organized from March 17 to 19, 2023. Unlike previous editions, this one is for the first time reserved for women. The race has since been part of the UCI women’s international calendar in category 2.1.
Cédrine Kerbaol (Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling) captured a solo victory on stage 2 of Tour de Normandie Féminin. Audrey Cordon-Ragot (Zaaf Cycling Team) led the bunch sprint in 8 seconds later to finish as runner-up, while stage 1 winner Gladys Verhulst (FDJ-Suez) completed the podium in third.
The middle stage of the three-day race covered 103km from La Haye to Flamanville with a pair of intermediate sprints and three classified climbs. Using a late attack, Kerbaol stayed away for her first victory of the season.
With the victory, the 21-year-old jumped 24 spots into the GC lead. She has a four-second advantage over Verhulst and eight-second gap over Cordon-Ragot going into Sunday’s final contest.
