Ebba Andersson finished third in yesterday's Tour premiere, but today the body did not respond as well.

- I don't really think I got the rap I wanted. It feels sad to miss the heat. Just bite into the sour apple and reload, she says.

The best of the Swedes were Jonna Sundling and Moa Lundgren who finished fifth and eight. Elina Rönnlund, Maja Dahlqvist and Emma Ribom also moved on from the qualification.

The fastest of them all was American Sophie Caldwell, before Nadine Fändrich and Jessica Diggins.
