An historical victory
Pauline Ferrand-Prevot won the 2025 Tour de France Femmes in style winning the final stage into Chatel. Attacking on the final climb through the ski resort of Chatel, leaving the other favourites in the front group and riding to the finish in Chatel Pre la Joux for another solo victory.
The 33-year-old Frenchwoman becomes the first French winner of a Tour since Catherine Marsal in the 1990 Tour Feminin, Jeannie Longo in 1987, 1988 and 1989 Tour de France feminin, and 40 years after Bernard Hinault's victory in the 1985 men's Tour de France.
"This morning, I told my DS, 'I want to try to win in yellow'. It wsn't easy, quite a tactical race, and at the end, I told myself, 'let's see how I feel on the last climb'. I attacked, and I didn't think that I could win that way. I really gave it my all until the last metres, so I didn't have time to savour it all, but I'm so happy to be able to win this stage and the general classification."
-Pauline Ferran-Prevot
