Chloe Hosking comfortably won La Course by Le Tour yesterday in a sprint finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
Australian Hosking of Wiggle-High5 burst clear at the line to win by several bike lengths from Finland’s Lotta Lepisto of Cervelo Bigla after two big crashes in the final moments of the 89km circuit race thinned the field.
They hauled in a late attempt from Boels-Dolman’s Ellen van Dijk to break clear before a select sprint.
“My team were incredible,” Hosking said.
“I’m so lucky. Amy Roberts never gave up, and Audrey Cordon kept me safe in the final laps.”
In the men’s Tour, Chris Froome retained his title and became the first Briton to successfully defend the title.
