Wiebes claims Tour de France stage as Vos holds lead
Just as in the previous day's stage, the SD Worx team sprinter once again beat the overall leader by a wheel to claim her second consecutive stage victory.
"On the final straight it was a big chaos and I was really fighting for position," said Wiebes, 26.
"It's really nice to win again and it's really nice to finish it off for the girls after their hard work at the end again."
Ireland's Lara Gillespie completed the podium at the end of a stage which was thankfully much cleaner than Monday's in Angers, when several riders found themselves caught up in a mass crash.
The main victim of that crash, Dutch rider Demi Vollering, appeared apprehensive at the start in Saumur on Tuesday.
But the overall favourite for the Tour finished in the peloton in the same time as Wiebes.
Vollering sits sixth overall, 25sec behind leader Vos and 13sec behind second-placed Wiebes.
Tuesday's stage was led by Franziska Koch of Germany and Brazilian Ana Vitoria Magalhaes, after they made a break just over an hour into the day's racing.
They were caught 3km from the finish line by the SD Worx team, who catapulted Wiebes to her 16th victory this season and the 109th of her career.
"She's (Wiebes) just the best sprinter in the world, she's a phenomenon in the sprint and every time she shows it again," said veteran Vos.
"It's nice to keep the yellow on such a day. You know it's going to be tough," added the 38-year-old.
Wednesday will be the longest stage of the 2025 edition with its 165.8km run between Chasseneuil-du-Poitou/Futuroscope and Gueret, complete with a slog to the finish featuring three climbs inside the final 35km.

Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt wins women's Tour de France on first attempt
French cyclist Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt clinched victory in the women's Tour de France on her first attempt on Sunday, launching an attack at the final stage to increase her overnight lead. The 33-year-old finished 3:42 ahead of 2023 champion Demi Vollering from the Netherlands and 4:09 clear of the defending champion, Poland's Kasia Niewiadoma. 'After my Olympic title, I said I would try to win the Tour de France in the next three years,' said Ferrand-Prévôt, who won gold in mountain biking at last year's Paris Games. 'So here I am, the first (time).' 'My teammates worked super hard for me all week long. I just want to say thank you and congrats to them,' she said, 'I love you so much girls, and thank you for everything.' Ferrand-Prévôt seized control of the race with a solo breakaway on the last climb of Saturday's eight and penultimate stage. That gave her an overnight lead of 2:37 over Australian rider Sarah Gigante and 3:18 over Vollering. Sunday saw the racers undertake a 124-kilometre trek from Praz-sur-Arly to Châtel with three big mountain climbs. Unlike last year's race, which was decided by just four seconds in the closest finish in the history of both the women's and men's tours, Ferrand-Prévôt faced less drama. She did not face any big attacks and instead launched one of her own with six kilometres remaining in the Tour. Roared on by roadside crowds, she soloed to the finish before collapsing to the ground, exhausted but elated. Vollering was 20 seconds behind in second place and Niewiadoma followed in third place as they sprinted to the line. Having won Olympic gold and conquered the cobblestones of the Paris-Roubaix Classic, Ferrand-Prévôt added another line to her glittering resumé with a Tour victory, 11 years after winning the world road race title.
