Thank you for reading our coverage of this year’s Tour de France Femmes, and thank you to all of you who got in touch via email or Twitter.
It was heartening to see the appetite for women’s cycling, both from fans out on the road and the many of you who have tuned in to read our live blogs, reports and more. It was a long wait for a proper multi-stage women’s Tour de France, 33 years, but this race looks well set to go from strength to strength.
Now, there is a football match of quite some significance happening at Wembley: join Sarah Rendell for minute-by-minute coverage of England v Germany in the Euro 2022 final right here:
Congratulations to all the riders who finished a gruelling race – and indeed congratulations to all of those who didn’t. Everyone played their part. It was a fantastic performance from Silvia Persico, third on today’s stage, and fifth in GC.
3rd place for Silvia Persico in #tdff last stage 😍

Second podium in this Grande Boucle, sixth top 10 in eight stages, fifth place in GC and best italian athlete of the peloton. So proud of you 😍😍😍😍😍
Huge congratulations too to Vollering, Niewiadoma and Labous for finishing second, third and fourth respectively in GC. Vollering was pictured after today’s stage seemingly in tears – perhaps illustrating the sheer amount of effort she put in to try and reel in Van Vleuten today.
