Following the first major GC skirmish of the Tour de France Femmes, tackling 10 sawtooth hills of the Jura on Wednesday, Thursday's sixth stage through the Ardèche hills brought about fewer changes at the top of the standings.

That's not to say that the top teams in the race didn't give it a go on the road to Tournon-sur-Rhône, however, with the likes of Movistar and UAE Team L'IMAD sending riders on the offensive as Kim Le Court-Pienaar jumped back into the top 10 with her second stage victory in as many summers.
