With another hilly stage on the horizon, we can expect the similar faces who featured towards the front of the action on the opening stage to do so again on the route to Quimper. And as we've seen yesterday it's all about timing efforts to perfections, as Marianne Vos did on the opening stage.

Marianne Vos leads the general classification and will wear the first yellow jersey of the 2025 edition. Kim Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) sits 2nd in the general classification at 4 seconds, whilst Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma | Lease a Bike) sits at 6 seconds. Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//Sram zondacrypto) is in 4th, 10 seconds off the yellow jersey with Demi Vollering (FDJ Suez) in 5th at 13 seconds.

Vos leads the points standings, Elise Chabbey (FDJ-Suez) is the early leader in the mountains classification, whilst Julie Bego (Cofidis) will wear the white jersey on stage 2 as leader of the youth standings. FDJ-Suez lead the team classification.
