Image 1 of 11

Cédrine Kerbaol (Ceratizit-WNT) is the first French stage winner in the three-year history of the Tour de France Femmes, winning stage 6 by attacking just after the last climb of the day. Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix-Deceuninck) followed her, but Kerbaol rode away from the Dutch climber on the downhill to Morteau.

Doing a spectacular descent, Kerbaol increased her advantage on the chasing peloton to up to 40 seconds, even putting the yellow jersey of Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) in danger before Niewiadoma’s teammate Neve Bradbury and FDJ-Suez’ Grace Brown and Léa Curinier reduced the gap again, keeping the Polish allrounder in the maillot jaune.
