Le Court-Pienaar takes Stage 6 as Reusser keeps yellow

Late move decides Stage 6

Kim Le Court-Pienaar won the sixth stage of the Women's Tour de France in Tournon-sur-Rhone, taking the victory in a sprint to the line after attacking from 300 meters out.

That detail matters because it points to a finish decided less by long-range selection than by timing and execution in the final meters. A move from that distance is late enough to limit the response window, but early enough that hesitation behind can be decisive. For Le Court-Pienaar, it turned the final sprint into a controlled, committed acceleration rather than a pure drag race to the line.

Reusser stays in control

Marlen Reusser kept the race leader's yellow jersey, meaning the headline stage result did not translate into a change at the top of the overall classification.

For the race, that keeps the GC structure intact after Stage 6. The stage belonged to Le Court-Pienaar, but the broader takeaway is that Reusser exited the day still in the position every rival has to measure themselves against.
