Pauline Ferrand-Prévot seals the 2025 Tour de France Femmes with another stage win in Châtel She becomes the first rider in Bernard Hinault in 1981 to win Paris Roubaix and the Tour de France in the same season - Octave Lapize (1910) & Louis Trousselier (1905) the only others!

Chloe Dygert with the mental maths to sneak home around 10-11 seconds before the OTL kicks in - she'll be able to race tomorrow's final Tour de France Femmes stage Susanne Andersen is the only OTL today, the Norwegian was dropped fairly early on the first climb today

Remember when Pauline Ferrand-Prévot rode for Ineos and they still didn't make a proper women's team? Add it to the list of near-misses in this era...

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot looks set to be the first 🇫🇷 winner of the Tour de France Femmes since either Catherine Marsal in 1990 (ASO-era) or Jeannie Longo in 1989 (Tour de France-era) Still a day to go but this performance is an absolute smashing of last year's podium finishers

Maeva Squiban doubles up with another stage win! Delivered in a similar way to yesterday - get in the break, attack it at the right moment and drop down to the finish alone Great ride once more for someone who's been on the radar for a long time

Maeva Squiban takes the biggest win of her career so far! Previously a winner at Tour de l'Ardeche and the Vuelta Extremadura Feminas - she was 2nd on a stage last year, a long way behind Justine Ghekiere Squibber is just the 2nd 🇫🇷 stage winner since the race was rebooted

Demi Vollering pushed Kim Le Court all the way to the line after she celebrated slightly early - Vollering has experience in posting up too early and made it very close! #TDFF2025

Kim Le Court wins Stage 5 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes! That late climb and boni seconds point caused some fun chaos as the GC battle kicked off in earnest with the descent to the finish line Le Court goes back into the yellow jersey with that ride!

Lorena Wiebes beats Marianne Vos once again into Poitiers - Vos comfortably secures another day in yellow tomorrow Behind them it's Lara Gillespie and Eline Jansen taking 3rd and 4th - great results for them, with Jansen in particular on her 3rd top-10 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes so far!

Marianne Vos is back in yellow again after finishing 2nd - Kim le Court got caught up in the crash (but don't think went down) making it academic even without the bonus seconds

Lorena Wiebes takes her expected stage win but people won't be fussed about that today in the end Marianne Vos is back in yellow and everyone will be waiting to see how Demi Vollering and the other crashed riders are feeling after today 🤞

KiminYellow

Africa gets the yellow jersey through Kim le Court!

MAVI GARCIA! The Spanish rider rolled the dice and took a nice surprise win into Quimper ahead of the GC riders and Wiebes sprinting Helped a little by the big names looking around and not wanting to lose time - Garcia attacked and stayed clear! #TDFF2025

The purple ribbon that Evita Muzic is wearing is a unity measure from The Cyclists' Alliance Grace Brown was busy handing them out to riders in her role as President of the rider union, lots of clips on IG - the likes of Heidi Franz were also handing them out in Girona before travelling to Brittany

Marianne Vos wins the opening stage of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes and takes the yellow jersey! A huge turn from teammate Pauline Ferrand-Prévot set it up A slightly chaotic short stage in Brittany saw a few crashes and the DNF of Marlen Reusser due to prior illness #TDFF2025

Hopefully, they've got the Vos yellow jersey dimensions sorted this Tour de France Femmes!

Paula Blasi wins the 2025 edition of La Perigord Ladies with a late attack! The Spanish rider continues to impress with her 3rd win of the season - it's no wonder she got quickly upgraded from the UAE Dev Team to the full team this season #LaPerigordLadies

La Perigord Ladies is live now on Youtube with around 75km to go - it's very bouncy moto though so it's a...charming stream for those who are nostalgic! www.youtube.com/live/hrO4rLV...

Zoe Backstedt has surprised the peloton with an attack in the final 2.5km of the stage to just about hang on with the sprinters breathing down both her & Marie Schreiber's necks at the end 2nd stage win in the Baloise Ladies Tour for Zoe & in a great spot ahead of the TT stage later #BaloiseLT25

A first pro win for Nienke Veenhoven! She won the TDU Crit in 2024 but it was non-UCI that year She outsprinted the likes of Consonni and Guarischi into Zulte as both the Italians continue to look for their first win of the season - Kumiega might even have snuck 2nd on the near side #BaloiseLT25

Charlotte Kool wins Stage 1 of the 2025 Baloise Ladies Tour, just about pipping Chiara Consonni whose sprint was interrupted by Rachele Barbieri dropping back in with a block

🔥

The other news from the Baloise Ladies Tour is it seems Chiara Consonni won't be in the Tour de France Femmes line-up for Canyon SRAM She said the TDFF was her original plan but 'in cycling everything can change in seconds'

Prologue win for Zoe Backstedt with the stage set for Charlotte Kool to try and earn as many bonus seconds as possible ahead of the next TT where the likes of Zoe + Van Dijk will get the upper hand

Liane Lippert wins the final stage! She read that Anna van der Breggen wanted to repeat history & smoked her in the sprint! Elisa Longo Borghini wins her 2nd Giro in a row, even with Reusser pipping her to the line today Gigante takes the QoM jersey too! #GiroDItaliaWomen

Another absolutely huge ride from Sarah Gigante today - her 2nd stage win of the 2025 Giro! Shirin van Anrooij hung on from the early move for so long, ELB's attack is enough for pink but too early for the stage and Reusser seemingly not quite there today #GirodItaliaWomen

Liane Lippert takes her first win since last year's Giro! Great finish from the German as Fenix-Deceuninck set up a bit of a raid to get Pauliena Rooijakkers back into the GC conversation Shirin van Anrooij mops up the 3rd spot & will move up in GC as well #GirodItaliaWomen

Someone's come up with a plan to stymie Elisa Longo Borghini for today's Giro d'Italia Women stage by sticking the entire UAE Team ADQ team at the top of the ferris wheel and leaving them there

Lorena Wiebes takes her 5th career Giro d'Italia Women victory as expected today - however, the method was different to the plan! Some GC riders missed out, including yesterday's stage winner Sarah Gigante and Antonia Niedermaier #GirodItaliaWomen

Really looks like one of the team cars just knocked off the Laboral Kutxa rider here whilst trying to overtake where there was no room before the finishing circuit
