00:00400 meters from the base of the Col de la Madeleine, Chloé Digott's closing the gap.
00:19Look at how she's completely emptying the tank for Cassia Nuviodoma.
00:24Yesterday's stage was super brutal, very hard and I know how much work I put into that stage.
00:32Chloé Digott swings across the road and says that's it, the parachute is pulled, I have nothing left.
00:54Of course when it comes to results it's something that I cannot be happy about.
01:12I feel more, not even disappointed but upset. Pauline was definitely out of reach for a lot of us.
01:22Yesterday was a hard battle. Three minutes is still a big gap so really strong job from Pauline of course.
01:29I didn't thought maybe my best best day but today is a new day so we try again.
01:34It's a strange feeling because I was very happy but I also have to be focused on today.
01:43It's just a sport, everything can happen. It's a mechanical failure, a failure, a failure.
01:51So we have to be focused.
01:53Nothing is never finished until the end line.
01:56And I'm ready to fight today to defend this maillot.
01:59If there was to be a final twist in the tale, a savage finale in the Alps, the perfect setting,
02:15could anyone deny France a first home winner of the Tour de France Femme, Avec Zwift?
02:20On the front now for SD Works, they're very, very active.
02:25Anna van der Breggen now goes on the attack.
02:29SD Works early push, splintering the peloton.
02:32Second overall, Sarah Gigante, the biggest name to be cast furthest adrift.
02:37The Australians stuck in the third echelon but soon made contact with the yellow jersey group.
02:41A nervous start as well for Visma Lisabijk as they chased the main peloton.
02:46The leaders jersey weighing heavily on Ferran Prevost.
02:51The team of FDJ Suez are putting in.
02:53This is a battle between the teams right now.
02:56Tactical battle and power battle as well.
03:03But now Pauline Ferran Prevost can say thank you very much for a massive team effort.
03:09Early scares followed by a category one climb.
03:12That amount of work that was done has cost Visma Lisabijk because Pauline Ferran Prevost,
03:18I'm not sure she's got any team mates at all.
03:22The yellow jersey vulnerable, now is the time to strike.
03:26Another big acceleration.
03:28Van der Breggen is basically saying you need to let me go.
03:32After multiple attempts the former world champion finally made an attack stick.
03:36Not a GC threat though, Ferran Prevost with over nine minutes on the Dutch rider.
03:42After passing over the Côte d'Arrache, La France, Van der Breggen extended her advantage to over 90 seconds.
03:49As they headed for the intermediate sprint there was a fright for two top five GC riders.
03:53Oh, crash! Big crash!
03:55Oh, big crash on the outside.
03:57Dominique Vladechuk is down.
03:59Cedric Kerbal is down.
04:00Niwi Adama is down.
04:03While the defending champion was back up and into the yellow jersey group,
04:06not so lucky for EF Education Oatly's Breton.
04:10Kerbal now over three minutes down, any slim hopes of an overall podium, finished dashed.
04:15Here she goes, the young Aussie decides it's time to stretch the riders again.
04:20Look at the tempo.
04:22The theatre welcomes Anna van der Breggen over the top of this mountain.
04:28On the descent, the yellow jersey and the last two winners put the hammer down.
04:33Giganti distanced severely.
04:37The AG Insurance Sudel rider all alone after a huge team effort yesterday.
04:41Giganti slipping from the virtual GC podium.
04:46Follering a Niwa Doma Fini left to fight it out for second behind Ferran Prevost.
04:51Van der Breggen over the first two summits but not the final difficulty.
04:55Caught on the Côte de Corbière as Juliette Le Boss led the way.
05:00It's game over for the former world champion.
05:04Now it was the final ascent up to Châtel and Les Portes du Soleil.
05:08The top three overall primed to fight it out for the stage.
05:11Who would shine brightest to close out an epic 2025 Tour de France femme avec Swift.
05:16With Swift.
05:18Here's the attack.
05:20Demi Vollering starts her campaign to go onto the podium in second place.
05:26Ferran Prevost is six kilometers.
05:30And Pauline Ferran Prevost in the yellow jersey.
05:34Hits them and hits them hard.
05:36Massive attack of the yellow jersey.
05:38Big move round that right hand turn.
05:41She waited for Vollering to attack.
05:43Now she ramps up the tempo and goes to try and win the stage.
05:49And now she ignites the burners and goes clear.
05:52Nobody can respond to the might of this rider.
05:56Look at her into the aero tuck now as she tries to grow the advantage.
05:59She's going to be the winner of this race.
06:02You can see she's holding back some emotion.
06:06She is going to win this stage and win the overall in the best way possible.
06:12She checks around one more time.
06:15Pauline Ferran Prevost, the Queen of France.
06:18A perfect performance.
06:21Pauline Ferran Prevost wins the Tour de France for Mavic Swift.
06:26Sensational.
06:27I dreamt of winning in yellow.
06:29This morning I said to ODS, if we can try to win in yellow, we do it.
06:34And it went really fast throughout the day.
06:38And at the end I attacked and I didn't really think I could continue and win in this way.
06:43But if we can try to win in yellow, we do it.
06:48And it went really fast throughout the day.
06:51And at the end I attacked and I didn't really think I could continue and win in this way.
06:57But I really gave it to the end of the last match of France.
07:01So I'm happy to be able to win this race in general.
07:06It was paid, chérie. It was paid.
07:09I put the bar at the moment of this year to prepare this Tour de France.
07:12And it was a lot of sacrifice.
07:14It was a great victory and it was a great lesson of life.
07:17What do you think you're doing to us?
07:19It's a bad mome.
07:30Double delights to win the stage and confirm the overall title in the most dominant fashion imaginable.
07:36The first rider to ever win the Tour de France and Paris-Roubaix in the same year.
07:41Volorin and Miradouma Fini, 20 seconds behind.
07:45Only back to the road this season and already a history maker.
07:49Ferran Prévost, the first home winner of the Tour de France Femmes.
07:52And 36 years on from Jeanne Longo's last victory in the previous incarnation.
07:56Lorena Vibas, one of three women on the Tour to win consecutive stages.
08:01And that helped the European champion to her first Tour, Maiovere, to add to this season's Giro green jersey.
08:08Ellie Shabby, the queen of the mountains, a wire-to-wire success.
08:13The Swiss failed to finish two Grand Tours last season.
08:16This is a major achievement for the 32 year old.
08:18And a huge step forward for the 21 year old Nika Vinka, the white jersey winner, her first captured on a Grand Tour.
08:31The 2023 winner and the defending champion outshone by the brightest of talents.
08:37It's France's golden girl who reigns supreme.
08:40The 2022 winner.
08:42The 2022 winner.
08:44The 2022 winner.
08:46The 2022 winner.
