The double blow, at the best time! For her first participation in the Grande Boucle, Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt (Visma-Lease A Bike) won, on Saturday August 2, his greatest victory on career road at the top of the Col de la Madeleine. The Frenchwoman, Olympic Cross-Country Olympic Champion a year ago at the Paris 2024 Games, attacked 12 km of the finish, in the legendary ascent of the Savoyard pass, to seek solo a first success of prestige on the Tour de France women.

By winning the 8th and penultimate stage, Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt took the opportunity to seize the yellow jersey, and how! The two favorites announced, the Dutch Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez, 4th at 3'05 ''), crowned in 2023, and the Polish title holder Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon-Sram, 8th at 3'26 '') were relegated far from the 33-year-old Frenchman who takes a very serious option of the arrival in Châtel.
