Ferrand-Prévot Withdraws From Tour de France Femmes Stage 8 After Illness

Defending Tour de France Femmes champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot has withdrawn before Stage 8 due to illness, with Visma-Lease a Bike confirming she will not start the day on medical advice. With two stages remaining, the team must reassess its GC strategy as the field continues to chase results; Ferrand-Prévot had shown mixed form earlier, including losses on the Mont Ventoux queen stage and a difficult time trial, and her exit opens the door for rivals to shape the final GC and for other riders, like Marianne Vos, to target stage wins.

Illness, mixed messages and the Tour's mountain finale for UAE Team Emirates-XRG

Cyclingnews reports a wave of illness and injuries in UAE Team Emirates-XRG (including Wellens with a sore throat, Yates with a stomach issue, McNulty and Vermeersch affected), with the team publicly downplaying it through inconsistent messaging. While Pogačar appears healthy and holds a multi-minute lead, the absence of some teammates and new vulnerability could loosen UAE’s grip on the race during the final two mountain stages—culminating in Alpe d’Huez—shaping a more open GC battle even if the yellow jersey champion seems likely to come from the UAE camp.

McNulty abandoned stage 18 and Wellens just made the time cut, but Pogačar said the third week brings strain for all teams and expressed optimism that Adam is improving and UAE can push on toward the Alpe d’Huez days to come.

Toxic Relationships Take a Real Health Toll
