The smallest margin of victory in Tour de France history: Tour de France Femmes was won by 4 seconds

Kasia Niewiadoma after winning La Fleche Wallone in 2024.

The final stage of the 2024 Tour de France avec Zwift was a game of maths. After seven days of racing covering 950 kilometres and 13,566m of elevation victory, the third edition of the women's Tour came down to just four measly seconds — the smallest margin of victory in Tour de France history. 

The final stage of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes was also the Queen Stage, featuring a gruelling 150 kilometres (90 miles) with 3,900 meters (12,795 feet) of climbing, largely accumulated on the formidable Col du Glandon (19.7 km at 7.2%) and the legendary Alpe d’Huez (13.8 km at 8.1%).
