In the first stage of the final weekend, the riders faced a tricky finale with several categorized climbs. The yellow and black team was alert and ensured Ferrand-Prévot was in an ideal position heading into the final phase. This way, she didn’t lose any  time ahead of the two tough mountain stages to come.

The day everyone was watching: the queen stage. After a relatively calm start, the battle erupted on the tough Col de la Madeleine. Ferrand-Prévot quickly showed her strength by effortlessly responding to attacks from her rivals. With just over eight kilometers to go, she launched her own decisive attack. No one could follow. She powered to the stage win and claimed the yellow jersey. Thanks to her phenomenal performance, she started the final stage with a lead of over two minutes in the general classification.

Despite her comfortable lead, the tough final stage was far from a formality. Ferrand-Prévot was perfectly positioned by her teammates at the foot of the first serious climb, where she once again showed her class. She held firm and unleashed a ruthless attack on the final uphill stretch, then rode solo to victory. With this, she added extra shine to our team’s very first Tour de France Femmes win.
