Annemiek van Vleuten, winner of the 1st stage in La Course, is the first rider at the start in Marseille. The women leave from the Orange Vélodrome based on the time differences recorded in the race the Col d’Izoard, so Van Vleuten starts 43 seconds ahead of Lizzie Deignan and the rest of the field is more than 1 minute in arrears. The ensuing pursuit is bound to bring a thrilling finale and the first rider to cross the line wins the 2017 edition of La Course.
