Sunday August 18 sees the final stage, where the famous yellow jersey will be decided on the mythical slopes of Alpe d'Huez, one of the most iconic climbs in all of cycling. After seven stages, Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) wears yellow, having gained more than a minute when defending champion Demi Vollering (Team SD Worx-Protime) crashed on stage 5. Despite question marks physically, Vollering bounced back to pip Niewiadoma to the line on stage 7 – which was won from the breakaway – and set up what should be a big final battle in the Alps.
Stage 8 turns the climbing up to dimensions we haven't seen before in the revamped Tour de France Femmes, with the mighty Col du Glandon – peaking just below 2000 metres of altitude – preceding the famous 21 hairpins that pave the way up Alpe d'Huez. It promises to be a spectacular finale.
