Blanka Vas survived a massive crash to win Stage 5, and France's Cédrine Kerbaol captured a rare win in Stage 6 of the Tour de France Femmes.
Stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes blew up in a crash that significantly changed the dynamic of the race. The Tour de France Femmes’ return to the world stage in 2022 has highlighted women’s cycling, and this year’s Tour has supercharged the sport with exciting and competitive racing.
The 2024 Tour de France Femmes runs from August 12-18. The race began in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and will finish on the iconic Alpe D’Huez, France. The Alpe D’Huez represents the toughest final stage to the Tour de France Femmes in its three-year history.American Kristen Faulkner nearly repeated her Olympic success in Stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes while leading a blazing finish.
The consequential pile-up engulfed the maillot jaune, Demi Vollering, who lost 1:47 and the GC lead to Niewiadoma – a devastating curse of bad luck. The stage belonged to a delighted Niewiadoma“It’s crazy, I still can’t believe it. I really did not expect this today because I felt so bad during the race. Lorena Wiebes said to me, ‘believe in yourself’, and it helped me a lot. My radio was not working, so I did not know what happened at the back.
“In the final, I was like, ‘I cannot let Faulkner go’, because I did the same mistake in the Olympics. I was suffering so much, but I knew if I survive this small climb, then maybe I can win. The Olympics gave me a lot of confidence because I was racing in the front, so I know if I have a good day, I can be in the front,” Vas said.France prevailed in a historic Stage 6. For the first time since the Tour de France Femmes was revived in 2022, a French rider took a stage win.
