Tour de Suisse Women 2024 🇨🇭 (2.WWT) WE – Stage 3 – Vevey – Champagne : 125,6 km
The 2024 Tour de Suisse Women was a women’s road cycling stage race that was held in Switzerland from 15 to 18 June 2024. It was the seventh edition of the Tour de Suisse and was the twentieth event on the 2024 UCI Women’s World Tour calendar, joining the World Tour for the second time.
Neve Bradbury (Canyon-SRAM) won stage 3 of the Tour de Suisse Women from Vevey to Champagne, rolling through the finish with her teammate Kasia Niewiadoma in second place. Femke de Vries (Visma-Lease a Bike) outsprinted Amanda Spratt (Lidl-Trek) for third place.
Bradbury and Elena Pirrone (Roland) had gone on a breakaway with 102km to go and were joined by Niewiadoma, Spratt, and De Vries on the second climb of the day. Working together, the five escapees built a three-minute gap on the peloton, and on the final climb, Niewiadoma and Bradbury pulled ahead.
Niewiadoma led 22-year-old Australian teammate up the climb and down the descent before sitting up on the finishing straight to let Bradbury take her first professional victory.
In the peloton, an acceleration by yellow jersey Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) on the final climb dropped everyone but Elisa Longo Borghini, Gaia Realini (both Lidl-Trek), and Kim Cadzow (EF Education-Cannondale).
Bradbury also moved up to second overall. Going into the final stage, Vollering has a GC lead of 1:22 minutes on Bradbury, 1:26 minutes on Longo Borghini, and 1:28 minutes on Realini.
“It’s crazy, I didn’t think at the start of today that I would be winning this stage. We really wanted to make it a hard race and win the stage, that’s what we did, it’s great. The plan was to let me get the win to get the bonus seconds for GC, it would have been nice to give Kasia the win because she was really strong out there,” said Bradbury.
