Kim Le Court wins Tour de France femmes stage

The 153-kilometer stage from Montbrison to Tournon-sur-Rhône featured an accidented terrain that made for challenging conditions after six days of racing. Local favorite Célia Géry, designated as the most combative rider of the day, launched an attack within 15 kilometers of the finish but couldn't shake the five-rider breakaway group. sweetbonanza-app.com
