Tour de France Femmes 2026 Classifications Update Stage 7 - Niewiadoma the new yellow jersey with 15 seconds over Vollering
CyclingFriday, 07 August 2026 at 18:26
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 7
The yellow jersey has changed hands, but few would expect the new leader! The ascent to Mont Ventoux has brought the best climbers to the front of the race and it was Katarzyna Niewiadoma who set an historic time up the climb. The Polish rider attacked the climb and managed to overtake not only Demi Vollering but also Marlen Reusser in the overall classification.
Niewiadoma now leads Vollering by 15 seconds, who attacked in the final meters of the stage and overtook Reusser who is now 39 seconds behind.
Elisa Longo Borghini sits fourth 2:59 minutes behind, followed by Antonia Niedermaier. Cédrine Kerbaol and Paula Blasi followed, both gaining positions with strong ascents amongst the best. Dominika Wlodarczyk, Isabella Holmgren and Kim Le Court complete the Top10, with a few minutes over those that follow.

Youth Classification Standings after Stage 7
The youth classification has not been decided, but has gained an important order. Mont Ventoux allows no-one to hide, and Canyon//SRAM did not only take the yellow jersey, but increased their lead in the youth classification.
Antonia Niedermaier finished the stage quite strongly, and has gotten a gap over Isabella Holmgren who lost some minutes on the final climb. Paula Blasi climbed to second place but is 1:11 minutes away, a difficult gap to close down. Nienke Vinke could not withstand the pace of those in front and has lost ground to her rivals.

Team Classification Standings after Stage 7
UAE Team L'IMAD virtually sealed the win of the teams' classification on Mont Ventoux due to the strong performances of Elisa Longo Borghini, Paula Blasi and Dominika Wlodarczyk. The trio all finished amongst the best in a stage with massive gaps, where rival teams did not have the same depth or goals.

- Torito doesn't give me the impression that he's willing to accept 2nd place in his prime. After the Worlds last year he spoke about reducing the gap to Pogačar and reaching his level. Therefore, being at UAE or not doesn't matter
Rafionain-Glas07-08-2026 - A shame that that UAE have tied him inot the team for so long. I guess the guarantee of good steady and high income was persuasive. This young man could have been a genuine threat to Pocagar's dominence in a few years time. Tying up up a potential future threat with a long lucritive contract is an oft repeated story.Cyclingsbestfan07-08-2026

- Apparently you guys don't know much of the mindset of the elite athlete. Not a lot of athletes retire in their competitive prime. And they don't give up just because they can't beat so and so. Lots of elite athletes in the peloton sacrificing just as much as Jonas with far less to show for it.mobk07-08-2026

- Who's talking about a quote? No one is talking about the Giro or Vuelta, that's what Cycling News wrote after the 2025 TdF, after Jonas lost to Pogi the second year in a row. Last year Jonas was producing his best numbers ever but still lost TdF. Even in 2024 Jonas said "My level is higher then in 2023, my numbers are better despite my crash, but Pogi is just too strong." ... So, what's your point?PogiSloFans07-08-2026
