Maeva Squiban of UAE Team ADQ has made history by winning Stage 6 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift with a stunning solo ride to the finish line. Squiban, a 23-year-old rider, finished 1 minute and 9 seconds ahead of her compatriot Juliette Labous, marking the first French one-two in the event's history [1].

The stage, which covered 123.7 kilometers from Clermont-Ferrand to Ambert, saw Squiban make her move 32 kilometers from the finish on the category 2 Col du Chansert. She quickly gained time and held her advantage despite the efforts of the chasing riders, including the FDJ-Suez team of Demi Vollering. Squiban's victory was a significant moment, as she improved on her second-place finish behind Justine Ghekiere on the Le Grand Bornand stage last year [2].

Kimberley Le Court Pienaar of AG Insurance-Soudal Team retained the yellow jersey, extending her overall lead over Pauline Ferrand-Prévot to 26 seconds. Meanwhile, Lorena Wiebes of Team SD Worx-Protime maintained the green jersey. The Tour continues with a hilly ride from Bourg-en-Bresse to Chambery, promising more intense competition in the days ahead.
