Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal) extended her lead in the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift one day after making history as the first Mauritian and African to win a stage in Guéret.
Le Court claimed a four-second time bonus at the intermediate sprint in Valcivières behind breakaway stage winner Maeva Squiban (UAE Team ADQ) and another four seconds with her third place at the finish in Ambert.
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma-Lease a Bike) missed out on the bonuses, and while she still holds second place behind Le Court at 26 seconds, a two-second bonus by Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) moved her closer to the French woman.
Niewiadoma-Phinney is third at 30 seconds, climbing one spot ahead of Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) by a single second.
Finishing in the yellow jersey group, Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime) saved her energy and remains fifth at 35 seconds.
On the mountainous second half of the stage, former race leader Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) had to wave goodbye to the yellow jersey group and will settle into her less glamorous but extremely important role of supporting Ferrand-Prévot.
With Vos outside the top 10, Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix-Deceuninck) moved up to sixth at 53 seconds.
Sarah Gigante gives AG Insurance-Soudal another card to play inside the top 10, sitting in seventh at 1:03 and heads into her favourite terrain as the mountain stages arrive.
Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck) and Cédrine Kerbaol (EF Education-Oatly) finished in the yellow jersey group and remain in eighth and ninth overall at 1:12 and 1:24, respectively.
After Vos was dropped, Évita Muzic (FDJ-SUEZ) climbed one spot into 10th on the same time as Kerbaol.
Stage 7 brings riders to the mountains with a category 2 ascent of the Col du Granier (8.9km at 5.3%), summited with 17.5km to go. Expect the Tour de France Femmes GC standings to change drastically.

Tour de France Femmes 2025 classifications
Here's a rundown of all the ongoing competitions at the Tour de France Femmes.
Yellow Jersey/Maillot Jaune – The yellow jersey is worn by the overall race leader on the general classification who has completed the stages so far in the lowest accumulated time.
Green Jersey – The green jersey is the points classification. Riders accrue points at the intermediate sprints during stages and also at stage finishes, and the rider with the most points leads the ranking.
Polka Dot Jersey – The red and white polka dot jersey is the mountain classification. Points are handed out to the first riders over certain hills and climbs during the Tour de France Femmes, with the hardest mountains giving the most points. Once again, the rider with the most points leads the ranking.
White jersey – The white jersey is the best young rider classification. It works the same way as the yellow jersey, but only riders aged 25 or under are eligible to win.
