Pauline Ferrand-Prevot claims the leader's yellow jersey on the penultimate stage of the Tour de France Femmes with victory on the Col de la Madeleine.
SAINT-FRANCOIS-LONGCHAMP, France (AP) — French rider Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt took a commanding lead at the women's Tour de France after launching a solo attack on the final climb of Saturday's penultimate stage. Last year’s event had the smallest winning margin in the history of the women’s and men’s races, but Ferrand-Prévôt looks like winning far more comfortably, barring mishap. Overnight, she trailed Mauritian rider Kim Le Court by 26 seconds heading into stage 8 from Chambéry to Saint-François-Longchamp, which took the riders on a 112-kilometer (69-mile) trek into the mountains.
