All eyes were on yellow jersey wearer Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) and race favorite Demi Vollering (SD Worx - Protime) as they ascended Le Grand-Bornand during the penultimate stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. The stage featured a mountaintop finish and plenty of vertical metres in between but resulted in a stalemate among the top contenders.
With 10 riders all within 1:27 in the General Classification, the stage was poised for drama as the Tour reached the Alps. But between a breakout ride by stage winner Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance—Soudal Team) and cautious riding by yellow jersey, the GC remained much the same.
