As it happened: Yellow jersey confirmed with second stage win on Tour de France Femmes stage 9

Bonjour and welcome to our live updates of the ninth and final stage of the Tour de France Femmes 2025.

Here’s a look at the profile of today’s stage, taking the riders from Praz-sur-Arly to Châtel with a finish on the uncategorised climb to the ski resort at Pré la Joux.

The main difficulty of the day will be the hors catégorie Col de Joux Plane (11.6km at 8.5%), along with other challenging ascents in the category one climbs of the Côte d’Arâches-la-Frasse (6.2km at 7.1%) and the Col du Corbier (5.9km at 8.5%).

With depleted energy reserves among many squads in the peloton, few teams will look to control the stage, which could present the perfect opportunity for a large breakaway to go up the road and take the victory.
