Project Yellow is off to a perfect start

Project Yellow is off to a perfect start

Visma-Lease a Bike came to the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift with one major objective but showed on the opening stage that it might also be the best team in the race.

Visma-Lease a Bike came to the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift with one objective foremost in mind, and the team wasted no time in delivering on it.

Marianne Vos will pull on the yellow jersey after her stunning win in stage 1 atop the Côte de Cadoudal in Plumelec. Vos is the GOAT; of that there is no doubt, but her tactically perfect ride underlined that status. Cheers aplenty erupted as an icon of the sport crossed the line first.

At the team bus, the vibe was ecstatic. "Holy shit!" Femke de Vries screamed as she approached the paddock and embraced her teammates. Imogen Wolff, the young 18-year-old first-year pro from Britain, mirrored De Vries' vibe, exclaiming, "She's crazy!" But, in this last statement, who is Wolff referring to? For there was another story in the yellow jersey for Vos and Visma.

Did we do a good job with this story?
