An untouchable attack on the Great Orme by Kim Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) netted her the stage victory and the GC lead on stage three of the Tour of Britain Women.Erstwhile leader Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Pro Time) was unable to live with the pace and slipped backwards on the steepest part of the climb. Second place went to Lianne Lippert (Movistar) at 13 seconds, and Caroline Anderssen (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) came in third, another seven seconds back.Wiebes, who finished 10th, 37 seconds back, is now in third place, though retains her green points jersey.Le Court mounted her attack at the foot of the 2.5km climb, coming out of a severe hairpin that led straight into some of its steepest slopes.
