The French Maeva Squiban doubles the solo and wins the 7th stage of the Tour de France Women, Kim Le Court saves her yellow jersey

A magnificent double. Already winner the day before in Ambert, the Frenchman Maeva Squiban raised her arms to Chambéry again at the end of the 7th stage of the Tour de France women, Saturday August 1. Virtually dispossessed of her yellow jersey 12 km from the finish, Mauritian Kim Le Court managed to keep her tunic by finishing with the favorites.

She was first the first attacker of the day from Bourg-en-Bresse, then managed to let go of her breakaway partners-including the world champion Lotte Kopecky (SD-World), her Belgian compatriot Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance-Soudal) and the national champion Marie Le Net (FDJ-Suez)-in the last Col du Granier.

While at the top of the Col du Granier, Kim Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) had virtually lost his yellow jersey for the benefit of the French Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt (Visma-lease A Bike), the Mauritian made a huge descent to return to the group of favorites and keep her leader's tunic.
