Australian neo-pro Ruby Roseman-Gannon (BikeExchange-Jayco) was pleased to be in the day's breakaway group after stage 6 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, but could not hide her disappointment with how the race unfolded.

Roseman-Gannon achieved the team's first goal by joining the 14-man breakaway group that formed with 80km to go.

"It would have been great to get away," Roseman-Gannon told Cycling News after the finish. "It was just the last three guys that got away. But if we had positioned ourselves a little bit higher, we might have been able to hold on.

"Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. I'm just glad to be in the race.

With almost every major team in the breakaway, there was not always a reason for the pack to chase them, and the lack of GC interest and cooperation spelled the end for the breakaway group.

"The breakaway probably wasn't working as well as it needed to in order to get away. Jumbo and FDJ didn't want their riders to work, and neither did Canyon." Then Trek started with 30 km to go. Trek started with 30km to go. I think it took commitment from everyone for this to stick.

As the closest rider to the overall standings, 3:15 behind Vos, Roseman-Gannon herself was the biggest threat on GC, but did not think it contributed to the short break given to the break group.

"I think all the teams know that the next two stages will probably sort it out."

"I'm not a bad climber, but I don't think I'm very competitive on the longer climbs.

As we head into the final weekend of the Tour de France, BikeExchange-Jayco is rooting for the Giro stage winner to win in the Vosges, although Kristen Faulkner lost time earlier in the week, so her GC hopes are limited.

"I will probably support [Faulkner] for the next two days as well," Jayco said. If she takes a big gap it will be pretty hard to bring her back."
