Le Court won ahead of Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) and Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime). <\/p>\n<p>Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) was distanced on the final ascent of the day, so with her win, Le Court also took over the lead of the race. Going into the sixth stage, Pauline Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot (Visma-Lease a Bike) sits seconds overall, 18 seconds down, while Vollering is third overall, 23 seconds down. <\/p>\n<p>[race_result id=15687 stage_id=85991 count=10 gc=0 year=2025]<\/p>\n<p>[race_result id=15687 stage_id=85991 count=10 gc=10 year=2025]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/CORVOS_00038210-119.jpg\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\"  \/>Le Court is back in yellow after losing it to Vos on stage 3. How it happenedSince most anticipated Wednesday&#8217;s stage to be one for the break, the fight to get into a move was rapid from the start. There were also a surprising number of crashes early in the stage. One included green jersey wearer Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime), but thankfully, she was able to get back on her bike and continue. Eventually, some riders from the usual teams were allowed to slip away from the peloton.
