Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal) looked down for the count when she fell away from the group of GC favourites on the final climb of the Col du Granier on Friday's stage 7 of the Tour de France Femmes, and the gap grew to the point where her yellow jersey looked set to find another home.
"My body just completely shut off at that moment, and then I just had to focus on my own numbers and my own pace and try and do the best climb possible, but also kind of not kill myself," Le Court-Pienaar told the assembled reporters at her fourth yellow jersey press conference of the week.
