Niewiadoma-Phinney Conquers Mont Ventoux

Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon//SRAM) was the star of Stage 7 as she was the bravest up the Mont Ventoux to conquer the Giant of Provence in her first appearance in the Tour de France Femmes.

The Polish rider powered away from Demi Vollering (FDJ United-Suez) and Marlen Reusser (Movistar Team) 9.5 kilometres from the summit to raise her arms in victory for the first time in this race (she had never won a Tour stage until today!) and take the Yellow Jersey from Marlen Reusser (Movistar Team). Niewiadoma-Phinney is now on track to repeat her overall win in 2024 if he manages to defend her lead of 15s on Vollering and 39s on Reusser.

On Saturday, the race heads south towards the French Riviera. Stage 8 from Sisteron to Nice will be the longest of this edition, 171.9 kilometres that should end in a (reduced) bunch sprint.

On Sunday, Stage 9 will mark the grand finale of the race, with four climbs up the Col d'Èze offering a chance for a definitive GC shake-up.

Isabella Holmgren (Lidl - Trek) was top Canadian in 10th at 4:11 back. Holmgren is top Canadian overall in 9th at 6:17 back. Holmgren is 3rd in the young rider classification at 2:48 back.

Stage 7: La Voulte-sur-Rhône to Mont Ventoux, 146.8 km
