Theoretically the sprinters could stick around to get involved in Stage 6 but something about the route screams breakaway. Can Marianne Vos keep hold of the yellow jersey or will this be the first big day of GC action? You know the drill by now: stream the Tour de France Femmes live and on-demand on discovery+. You can also watch all the action live on eurosport.co.uk.

All set, Marianne Vos?

The Tour de France Femmes may be just three stages from finishing, but the Jumbo-Visma star is going to need to produce the defensive performance of her life if she is to keep the maillot jaune.

The kindest of those three tests comes on Friday, the last time the climbs have the audacity to be classed as hills rather than mountains.

The Cote de Grendelbruch offers 8% worth of incline for 1.2km before the Cote de Boersch tests the lungs of those in contention in the last 10km of the day.

The stage finishes in Rosheim, a town renowned for its Romanesque architecture - and sure to provide a picturesque backdrop for the downhill finish. It’s close to the German border but after this, the race heads south to what should be a famous finish.

Vos leads the general classification by 20 seconds, with the likes of Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar) and Demi Vollering (SD Worx) waiting to pounce now the going is about to get tougher.
