There was more change at the top of the general classification at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift on Friday, as Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) kept the yellow jersey, but stage winner Cédrine Kerbaol (Ceratizit-WNT) is now just 16 seconds behind her.
Stage six was won solo after the Frenchwoman attacked over the top of the final climb, becoming the first French wider to win a Tour stage in the process.
There were changes in both the mountains and points classifications, with new jersey wearers in both. Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck) was in the polka dot jersey on Friday, but saw her lead ebb away to first Silvia Persico (UAE Team ADQ) and then Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance-Soudal).
However, Pieterse is still the leader in the young rider’s classification, so will wear white on Saturday.
After her opening two stage wins, Charlotte Kool (dsm-firmenich PostNL), was the one to beat in the green jersey competition, but Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) has gradually reeled her in, and finished second on Friday to cement her lead.
