Spanish veteran Garcia wins stage 2 of women's Tour de France
Spanish veteran Mavi Garcia won the second stage of the women's Tour de France on Sunday as Mauritius' Kim Le Court finished the day in the race leader's yellow jersey -- a first for an African rider. The 41-year-old Garcia, of the Liv-AlUla-Jayco team, attacked with 10km to go and it paid off as she crossed the line three seconds ahead of the chasing peloton. Garcia is the oldest rider in the Tour peloton and her victory beat the former age record for a stage winner set by Annemiek Van Vleuten (39 years 9 months 23 days) in 2022. "I've been racing for a long time and I hadn't been having my best year, but this win really gives me a massive boost of energy," said Garcia. "I really didn't believe I was going to win at the end. I've tried many times like that and it never worked out, so I just couldn't believe it until I was five metres from the line and I turned around and saw they wouldn't catch me. "It was only then that I knew I'd really done it. It's been a long, long time since I had any feeling this good in my career." Le Court took over atop the overall standings from Marianne Vos, who won Saturday's opening stage. The duo are tied with the exact same time at the top of the general classifications, with the Mauritian earning the yellow jersey courtesy of her combined stage finish placings over the first two days of racing. "My team said we can take yellow today, but I could not believe it, to be honest I think I'm still a bit shocked," said Le Court. "The ultimate goal of the team is to fight for GC towards the end of the Tour for the overall, but our goal was also to win a stage. "I've come close twice, but now that I have the yellow jersey on my shoulders, it's already a massive achievement for the team and for myself." Dutch sprinter Charlotte Kool, who won the opening two stages of last year's Tour, was a late withdrawal from the peloton, which now counts 152 riders. The Picnic-PostNL rider, who finished 7:40 off Vos' pace on Saturday, fell in competition last week and after consulting her team's medical staff opted to withdraw. Kool's withdrawal was the second of the Tour following that of Swiss rider Marlen Reusser (Movistar), who had been expected to push for the podium but who was sick. Monday's third stage is a flat 163.5km ride from La Gacilly to Angers. The women's Tour features nine stages, culminating in a mountain ascent for a summit finish in the ski resort of Chatel on August 3.

Roldan wins Tour of Britain stage two in Saltburn as Faulkner takes overall lead
Mara Roldan crosses the finish line in Saltburn-by-the-Sea to win stage two of the Tour of Britain Women. Mara Roldan crosses the finish line in Saltburn-by-the-Sea to win stage two of the Tour of Britain Women. Photograph: Danny Lawson/PA Mara Roldan pulled off a successful late breakaway on the steep approach to Saltburn-by-the-Sea, winning the second stage of the Tour of Britain Women by 12 seconds. The 21-year-old, who rides for Picnic-PostNL, made a push for victory with 14km to go and held on to win ahead of Riejanne Markus (Lidl-Trek). British teenager Cat Ferguson (Movistar) finished fifth for the second stage in a row, just behind third-placed Ally Wollaston (FDJ-Suez) and Roldan's teammate Megan Jastrab. Advertisement Also in the chasing group was Kristen Faulkner (EF Education-Oatly), who finished ninth but did enough to take the overall leader's green jersey. Faulkner, the Olympic road race champion in Paris, leads a frustrated Markus by just four seconds. Ferguson is fourth behind Wollaston, 14 seconds off Faulkner's mark, with two stages to go. The day began at Hartlepool docks in wet conditions, with stage one winner and overall leader Kim Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) falling early to all but end her GC chances. Le Court sits 21st overall after stage two, while the two-times former winner, Lizzie Deignan (Lidl-Trek) is down in 16th place. Stage three on Saturday will start and end in Kelso as riders take a circuitous 148.7km route through the Scottish Borders. The race concludes with a 10-lap circuit around Glasgow city centre on Sunday.

Isaac Del Toro sprints clear on stage 17 to extend Giro d'Italia lead
Isaac Del Toro of UAE Team Emirates-XRG maintained his excellent form at the Giro d'Italia to win stage 17 with a perfectly-timed sprint, with the Mexican's first stage victory of the race allowing him to extend his lead in the overall standings. The 155-km route from San Michele all'Adige to Bormio was less punishing than Tuesday's stage 16, but featured two difficult climbs - Passo del Tonale and Passo del Mortirolo - with a total of 3,800m of elevation. Del Toro was the freshest man at the end of the final ascent and he broke away from Romain Bardet (Picnic-PostNL) and rival Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) with just over 2km left. Bardet crossed the line four seconds after Del Toro, with Carapaz in third. Tyrone's Darren Rafferty (EF Education-Easypost) crossed the line over 35 minutes after Del Toro, a minute ahead of compatriot Sam Bennett. Rafferty drops half a dozen places in the general classification to 86th, while Bennett (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team) is 147th overall. Del Toro's spectacular effort breathed new life into his bid to win a first Grand Tour and assuaged any doubts that arose after the pink jersey holder saw his lead shrink in a chaotic stage 16 on Tuesday. "I imagined that I could win a stage with the maglia rosa. The Giro has been very good so far," the 21-year-old said after his win. "The fight for the podium is incredible. Today I realised that I will never give up. I will always try to win. I have nothing to lose. It wasn't any easier today than yesterday. With the team, we expected some attacks to take place on the Mortirolo. "We didn't want to let all the GC riders go. I went across to them and I took it easy a bit. I caught them in the descent. We had made this plan with the team that I would attack on the last small climb." Del Toro, who became only the second Mexican to win a stage at the Giro d'Italia after Julio Alberto Perez Cuapio in 2001 and 2002, now has a 41-second lead in the general classification. Ecuadorean Carapaz leapfrogged Simon Yates (Visma–Lease a Bike) into second place, with the Briton finishing the stage in fourth place, 15 seconds behind Del Toro. Earlier on Wednesday, Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates–XRG) and stage-eight winner Luke Plapp (Jayco AlUla) both abandoned the Giro.
