Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt flies in the lead to seek a second success … Follow the 9th and last stage live

A stage in the mountains of Haute-Savoie, to end up the Tour de France women in style. The peloton will start on Sunday August 3 for the last effort of this edition, between Praz-sur-Arly and Châtel. On the program, three difficulties, including the excluded collar of Joux Plane (11.8 km at 8.5%), will stand in front of the runners in this 124.1 km course. The last two ascents should also cause breakage within the peloton.

The breakaway could then go to the end, but a last battle between the favorites could take place. Exceptional in the Col de la Madeleine the day before, the Frenchwoman Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma-lease A Bike) presents itself in immense favorite for the final coronation as its advance on its pursuers is substantial (2'37 '' on its runner-up). But there is no doubt that his big rivals, The Dutch Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez, +3'18 '') and the Polish Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon-Sram, +3'40 '') in particular, will be keen to save their honor after the slap received on Saturday.
