TOUR DE FRANCE FEMMES STAGE 5 INTO THE HILLS - Kim Le Court wins the stage from a small group! Kim Le Court is back in the yellow jersey after Marianne Vos lost 33 seconds in the final of the stage

STAGE SUMMARY: Stage 5 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift resulted in an exhilarating finish after the descent of Le Maupuy, with a seven-rider group contesting the win and Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal Team) ultimately taking the glory in Gueret. After the longest stage of this year’s race (165.8 km) it all came down to a sprint finish amongst the GC contenders with Le Court-Pienaar winning it, celebrating early but just clinching it on the line ahead of Demi Vollering (FDJ - SUEZ). Anna van der Breggen (Team SD Worx - Protime) was third, with Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (CANYON//SRAM zondacrypto) and Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) completing the top five. Le Court-Pienaar also regained control of the Yellow Jersey, now leading the GC by 18" from Ferrand-Prevot, with Vollering third at 23”.

Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal Team): "We agreed the plan with the team which was to try and stay safe in the early part of the stage because it's long and flat. That was quite difficult. There were a lot of big crashes. Then the big goal was to take the bonus points, which I managed to do. Then yeah, if we finished in a small group, the goal was then try and take the stage victory. It was a bit tricky at the end. I went around the corner really fast in first position. It was closer than I expected, but luckily my kick was the fastest in the group. I had a teammate with me, so that helped a lot. I think if I didn't have Sarah [Gigante] with me, maybe the chasing group would have come back because some girls in the front group were not keen to pace.

I think there was only me and Demi [Vollering] that was kind of keen to do the work and get to the line. Once Sarah got back off the downhill, I was really, really lucky to have her because she just committed fully to the line and without her I wouldn't have done what I did today and without the whole team. So this shows that teamwork is really what you need in the sport. [Celebrating a bit too early?] No, I don't think so. I think when you're on the bike you know, but maybe it can look like it on TV. It looked really close from the front, but when you turn around you can see that you have the speed and you will cross the line first. Luckily for me I had enough gap."
