Spätestens seit ihrem gestrigen Etappensieg ist es Zeit, sich mal mit Puck Pieterse zu beschäftigen:

Vor der Tour:
Puck Pieterse looks ahead to Tour de France Femmes debut after Olympic heartbreak

"A little tour through the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, finishing on Alpe d’Huez. I am really looking forward to it!"


Nach dem Etappensieg:
Can Tour de France Femmes debutant Puck Pieterse challenge Demi Vollering for the yellow jersey?

"She wasn’t in any pre-race previews or predictions. While others were preparing for the Tour de France Femmes at altitude camps, she was getting ready to compete in mountain biking at the Olympic Games. She has never even ridden a stage race before. Tuesday was the first time she’s been on a moving time trial bike. Now, she has outsprinted two-time Tour champion Demi Vollering to clinch a stage victory in the world’s biggest bike race and, at the mid-way point, she sits second on the general classification. 22-year-old Puck Pieterse is good at surprises."

Und zu Alpe d'Huez, wo Sonntag die Schlussetappe endet:

"Pieterse is also not unfamiliar with the Alpe d’Huez. She previewed the climb on August 3rd when she managed to climb herself onto the Strava leaderboard with the third-best time behind former pro and expert climber Emma Pooley and British national hill climb champion Illi Gardner."
