Tour de France Femmes 2026 Classifications Update Stage 3 - Time trial smashes Ferrand-Prévot's GC as Reusser jumps into yellow jersey
CyclingTuesday, 04 August 2026 at 18:24
The 2026 Tour de France Femmes classifications will shift across nine stages of racing, from the Grand Depart in Lausanne on 1 August to the final stage in Nice on 9 August. Across sprint stages, hilly terrain, an individual time trial and major mountain tests, each day can alter the shape of the race for the yellow jersey and the Tour’s other major classifications.
This live classifications hub is updated after each stage of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes with the latest General Classification, Points Classification, Mountains Classification and Best Young Rider standings. As the race develops, it tracks the key movements in the fights for the yellow, green, polka-dot and white jerseys.
The General Classification remains the central battle of the Tour, but the wider standings will develop their own stories across a compact and demanding route. Sprint stages can reshape the points competition, breakaways can transform the mountains classification and the white jersey fight could change quickly once the leading young riders are tested in the time trial and high mountains.
With only nine stages and four major jersey competitions to settle, there is little room to recover from lost time or missed opportunities. Bonus seconds, sprint points, mountain points, breakaway moves and decisive race incidents can all produce significant changes from one day to the next.
General Classification Standings after Stage 4
The outlook of the overall classification has changed completely this afternoon. The race's time trial had 21 kilometers in duration but it was enough to carve very meaningful gaps that mark the race quite deeply. Sigrid Haugset set off into the time trial with a pretty large margin but she has lost the yellow jersey today after losing it very quickly in the roads of Dijon.
Marlen Reusser won the stage and with it ascended from 11th place to the race lead, 14 seconds ahead of Demi Vollering. The two have created a very large gap over the rest of the field and now stand out as the two main favourites to win the overall classification.
Cédrine Kerbaol stands out now in third place 54 seconds back whilst Haugset is the only other rider within a minute of Reusser. Elisa Longo Borghini, Katarzyna Niewiadoma, Paula Blasi, Anna van der Breggen, Antonia Niedermaier and Femke de Vries complete the Top10.
Kim Le Court, Noemi Rüegg and Puck Pieterse all lost meaningful time in an effort that didn't suit their capacities.
And Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, despite her best efforts, struggled deeply in her first time trial in years. She has lost her place in the Top10 and the defending champion is now 14th in the overall, 2:13 minutes behind Reusser and with a very difficult task at hand if she aims to defend her title over the coming days.

Points Classification Standings after Stage 4
Loren Wiebes maintains the lead of the points classification safely over the race's time trial. The green jersey is unlikely to change hands over the final stages of the race as the stages provide less points. Sigrid Haugset maintains second place, leading a tight bunch behind consisting of mostly classics riders.
Marlen Reusser has broken into the Top10 with today's victory in the time trial; but it is expected that Noemi Rüegg and Kim Le Court will be Wiebes' main rivals over the coming stages.

Queen of the Mountains Standings after Stage 4
The QOM classification has not changed during today's stage and as it stands it continues to be Puck Pieterse who leads the competition. Her 18 points are enough to secure a provisional lead over Nikola Nosková and the former yellow jersey Sigrid Haugset.

Youth Classification Standings after Stage 4

- Tadej is not (still) the potential G.O.A.T. ... Stop stuttering... He is THE G.O.A.T. - The Greatest Of All Time.PogiSloFans04-08-2026
- Hey Jumpyjohn, this is how he should do it: Pogi says "This year I want to do the Giro again, I just love this race and the Italians." He does the Giro, wins, and then goes to the Tour. He talks nothing about the Vuelta, if asked he says "No, I'm not doing the Vuelta, I will focus on the WC." After winning the Tour he never mentions the Vuelta. Pogi and his trainer see if Pogi is feeling good and strong, if he still has good legs, then they decide. If they think he can do it... LET'S GO, POGI IS DOING THE VUELTA. OMG!!! Pogi will say "I love the Spaniards!!!" Everyone is going crazy. But if Pogi isn't feeling the best, no one says anything, he just won't go, skip the Vuelta, prepare for the WC and win it. It's a win-win situation.PogiSloFans04-08-2026
- When it comes to winning a Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana, Maurizio Fondriest is sending a warning to Pogačar!?!? First of all, who is Fondriest to send "warnings"? Pogi doesn't know or care about him. Pogi and his trainers will be the ones to decide if he will take on all three GT's in one season. No one knows what will happen because it's never been tried before. I have the feeling that many former BS cyclists and commentators are smarter then Pogi and his team of cycling specialists.PogiSloFans04-08-2026
- You're wrong, it's not too late. This is how it's done: Pogi says "This year I want to do the Giro again, I just love this race." He does the Giro, wins, and then goes to the Tour.

Everyone is going crazy. But if Pogi isn't feeling the best, no one says anything, he just won't go, skip the Vuelta and once again win the WC. Capish?PogiSloFans04-08-2026
- yeah I was thinking the same - fairly audacious headline.mij04-08-2026
- So we have a cycling equivalent to the Penisgate storm in a teacup at the Ski Jumping event of this year's Winter Olympics!Cooldude04-08-2026
- Tadej doesn't have to win the Vuelta with a lead of more than five minutes over the first runner-up. This means he can ride leisurely, or rather, let it be his preparation for the World Championships. In addition, Remco won San Sebastian just seven days after the Tour, the World Championships are 14 days after the Vuelta... So the chances are not even close to 50/50.MajorPayne04-08-2026
- With all the possibilities that are never discussed and would create endless discussion as to whether it would be real doping, I will NEVER lay my hand in the fire to claim ANY rider is clean (especially having experienced something unexpected myself with over the counter medication as an amateur runner whilst sick). People also seem to have very short memories about what has already happened and wasn’t detected (sometimes for decades) until a mistake or thoughtless act occurred or past material was reviewed. It’s a sad fact that almost all those who want to deny the possibility there is doping, do almost ZERO research on the subject but then claim they know the facts. I don’t believe he’s consciously doing anything but that doesn’t mean nothing is happening. As for why he is so successful? He knows his forte and exploits it predictably. The sad thing is the others haven’t yet understood how to neutralise him but I won’t go into that unless someone else starts it off.Mistermaumau04-08-2026
