Tour de France Femmes stage 5 LIVE – The GC fight is set to hot up

The race may be a slow burner today as there isn’t any sprint of any kind until 40km to go. That means 126km of flat or gently rolling terrain for the peloton to get very nervous on.

Today’s stage is the longest of the race with the riders set to tackle 165.8km of racing between Chasseneuil du Poitou Futuroscope to Guéret.

There are three categorised climbs towards the end of the stage as well as the usual intermediate sprint which is in Dun-le-Palestel and a return of the bonus sprint, which comes shortly before the summit of the final climb.

Bonjour and welcome to our live updates on stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes 2025.
