Kimberley Le Court won stage six of the Tour de France Femmes on Thursday, sprinting to victory in Tournon-sur-Rhône. The Mauritian rider took the stage in a bunch finish, adding to her growing reputation in the women's peloton.
The win marks Le Court's second in the Tour de France Femmes, one year after her victory in Guéret. Thursday's result continues a strong run of form for the rider, who proved the fastest in the dash to the line ahead of the chasing pack.
Meanwhile, the overall race lead remains with Swiss rider Marlen Reusser, who held on to the yellow jersey through another demanding day of racing. Reusser's consistent performances have kept her at the top of the general classification as the Tour heads into its later stages.
Stage six was contested over a route that suited the sprinters, with the field staying together until the final kilometres. Le Court timed her effort perfectly to edge out her rivals and secure the stage victory.
The Tour de France Femmes continues with stage seven, where the fight for the overall title is expected to intensify. Le Court's stage win will boost her confidence, while Reusser will look to defend her lead against the climbing challenges ahead.
