Win for Le Court-Pienaar in Tournon-sur-Rhône

The stage to Tournon-sur-Rhône has been compared by many to Liège-Bastogne-Liège, and it was a former winner of La Doyenne who took the victory on the day. Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal) took a well deserved win after bridging across from the diminished Yellow Jersey group to the six-strong bunch at the head of the race, defeating her breakaway companions with a long, powerful sprint to the finish. Cédrine Kerbaol (EF Education-Oatly) and Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Premier Tech) were second and third. The Mauritian national champion netted her second-ever stage win in the Grande Boucle.

All the favourites stayed together throughout the day, with a late edition UAE Team L’Imad’s Elisa Longo Borghini, who joined the breakaway late to then climb up to the 4th place in the overall standings, still led by Marlen Reusser (Movistar Team) with 12s on Demi Vollering (FDJ United-Suez) and 1:17 on Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon//SRAM).

The 2026 Tour de France Femmes reaches its queen stage on Friday, with a 146,8-kilometre course from La Voulte-sur-Rhône to one of the most iconic summits in road cycling: the Mont Ventoux.

Fifth at Belleville-en-Beaujolais yesterday, Isabella Holmgren had recorded the best stage result ever achieved by a Canadian rider at the modern Tour de France Femmes. Today her compatriot Sarah van Dam went one better, finishing 4th in Tournon-sur-Rhône in the same time as the winner, setting a new benchmark for Canadian riders.

Holmgren remains top Canadian, 7th overall at 3:05 back.

Note: Canada's Kelly-Ann Way won a stage of the Tour de France Feminin in 1984 and wore the yellow jersey in 1989.

Stage 6: Montbrison to Tournon-sur-Rhône, 153.4 km
