August 17/24 20:12 pm - TDF Femmes: Stage 7
Posted by Editoress on 08/17/24
Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance - Soudal Team) won Stage 7, riding strongly to the finish at Le Grand-Bornand to cross the line 1:15 ahead of second-placed Maeva Squiban (Arkéa - B&B Hotels Women).
Ghekiere performed brilliantly in the polka dot jersey in the breakaway to strengthen her position in the Mountain classification and win the stage. Squiban attacked from the main GC group behind her on the final climb but was unable to reach her. Demi Vollering (Team SD Worx-Protime) finished the stage in third, and was closely followed over the line by Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//SRAM Racing) in the Yellow Jersey, both riders finishing 1:23 behind the stage winner.
Ahead of Sunday's final stage from Le Grand-Bornand to Alpe d'Huez, via Col du Glandon, Niewiadoma controls the Yellow Jersey, with a 27s advantage over Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck Cycling Team) at the head of the GC, while Cedrine Kerbaol (Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling Team) sits in third place at 37s. 2023 Tour winner Vollering goes into the last stage in 8th position overall, 1:15 behind the GC leader Niewiadoma.
Top Canadian was Simone Boilard (Uno-X Mobility) in 47th at 9:23 back. Boilard is top Canadian in GC, 41st at 19:35 back.
