La Course by Tour de France: cycling – live!

Lizzie Deignan, an Olympic silver medallist in 2012, won this race in thrilling style last year in a final sprint showdown against Marianne Vos. Will we see a repeat today?. Welcome to our coverage of La Course, the one-day women's Tour de France race, which this year takes the form of a 107.7km route between Brest and Landernau in Brittany. This is set to be the last edition of La Course, but that does not signal bad news for women's cycling, because 2022 will see the long overdue reintroduction of a multi-stage women's Tour de France.
