Yellow slips away as blocking row fades: Niewiadoma-Phinney ousted from TDFF lead
TL;DR
Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney lost the Tour de France Femmes yellow jersey on stage 8 after a climber’s move by Célia Gery that was alleged to block her; FDJ defended the action as accidental, the jury reviewed footage but handed no penalty, leaving Vollering eight seconds ahead in the GC heading into stage 9. Canyon-SRAM and race staff signaled there’s still a final-day chance for the jersey, with teams and riders weighing the drama as they pursue the win on the finale.
