Young talent is coming through
A gritty ride from 20-year-old Niamh Fisher-Black saw her bridge to a three-up move with Grace Brown (Canyon-SRAM) and Elise Chabbey (Team BikeExchange) to take the young rider’s jersey and third on GC.
By the end of stage two, she was up to second, thanks to a higher-placed finish than Brown. Once Chabbey was called back to domestique duties for Kasia Niewiadoma including a searing attack on a descent Fisher-Black was on top at the end of stage three.
Wearing the leader’s jersey in a WWT race as a 20-year-old is no mean feat, but Fisher-Black’s efforts also paid dividends for her team allowing Anna van der Breggen to take the win and the overall on the fourth and final stage.
