Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal) won stage 6 at the Tour de France Femmes in the sprint of a group of eight. Cédrine Kerbaol (EF Education-Oatly) finished second, Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Premier Tech) rounded out the podium in Tournon-sur-Rhône.

After the early breakaway of three riders was caught on the Col de Lalouvesc, French champion Célia Gery (FDJ United-Suez) attacked on the descent but did not get away. She tried again near the end of the descent, 34km from the finish, and got a gap.

It is the Mauritian champion’s second career Tour stage victory, and it makes up for the disappointment of the previous three stages.

“I think the team needed it. I’ve been really struggling since the TT day, and I think this really makes our Tour. Of course, we’ve got GC ambitions, but winning a stage in a Tour de France is very special. You know, people don’t really remember top 10, top 5 riders in the Tour, but they do remember stage winners,” she said.
