Squiban wins stage six of Tour de France Femmes

Kim le Court retained the yellow jersey, making Maeva Squiban the first French rider to win a stage at the 2025 Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift.

Squiban, 23, marched on stage six with 30 kilometers to go, and he was only one minute and nine seconds clear of compatriot Juliette Labous, who finished just ahead of the yellow jersey group.

Only the second time a French rider has won a stage of the race since Cedrine Kerbaol won stage six last year when it was relaunched four years ago.

Squiban, who crossed the line in tears, described it as “an amazing feeling” and “didn’t expect that.”

Before Squiban broke away 2.5 kilometers from the Col du Chansert, the final day’s climb, Elise Chabbey was in charge.

Mauritian Le Court, who won the Tour’s first stage on Wednesday, finished third, extending her overall lead to 26 seconds ahead of Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, who is also a rider from Africa.

Demi Vollering, the 2023 Tour winner, is now the champion, while Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney, the current champion, is in third place.
