Sigrid Haugset has set off on a long solo run and kept going to the finish to win the third stage of the Women's Tour de France and claim the yellow jersey.

The Norwegian rider made her break with more than half of the tough 156.5-kilometre route between Geneva and Poligny to go.

The stage featured four categorised climbs and Haugset made her move with 85 kilometres left, at the foot of the category two Col de la Savine.
