After making history on stage one, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL continued their incredible run at the Tour de France Femmes, sprinting to stage two victory with yellow jersey wearing Charlotte Kool for another memorable day on home Dutch soil.

Tuesday morning’s stage saw a short but fast 68 kilometres from Dordrecht to Rotterdam. Resplendent in the yellow jersey, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL rolled out from the start line with the goal of making it two wins in two stages, aiming to set up the sprint with finisher Charlotte Kool once again. Despite a few attacks, the stage was always well controlled and coming into the finale the battle between the sprint trains was well and truly on. Biding their time and waiting to come from the back into the headwind sprint, the team moved forward at the perfect moment and brought Kool into a great position inside the last 500 metres. Showing the same strength as yesterday’s epic victory, Kool kicked hard and launched from the wheels, flying past the opposition and surpassing everyone come the line to take another fantastic win. With that, Kool and the team retain the jersey ahead of this afternoon’s time trial.
