L’Étape du Tour de France Femmes 2026, every split of every rider
Vaison-la-Romaine → Mont Ventoux, 111.7 km and 2,950 m of climbing to a summit finish via Bédoin. This explorer indexes the full timing data of the race — 9,696 finishers from 56 countries timed on 10 mats along the course, climb-by-climb leaderboards — beyond what the official results page shows.
Every classified rider has a page: splits, checkpoint ranks, climb times vs. the field.
Back-to-back, twice
Both 2025 winners defended their titles on the Ventoux. And one day after the amateurs, stage 7 of the Tour de France Femmes 2026 finished on the same summit — the first Ventoux summit finish in the race’s history.
Victoria Stansfield won the women’s classification in 3:36:03 — 28th overall in the mixed field, repeating her 2025 win of this event.
Thibaut Clément, winner of the 2025 edition, took this one too in 3:13:37, climbing the final 15.7 km of the Ventoux in 52:06.
When did the field finish?
Finish times in 5-minute buckets, from 3:13:37 to 10:40:00 — the median rider reached the summit in 6:26:45.

The climbs
Segment times are computed between the timing mats at the foot and the top of each climb — the Ventoux is split at Chalet Reynard into the forest and the bare summit slopes. Click through for the full leaderboard.

The moto club 🏍️
Segment times that are physically implausible for the rider’s overall level — almost certainly timing glitches (a phantom mat read)… or a very discreet motorbike. Kept visible, excluded from every ranking and stat.
| Segment | Rider | Time |

| Baronnies → Pied du col de Suzette | Raphaël BENZA-BOURCART | 49:29 · 56.5 km/h |
| Col de Propiac | Foucauld LAMOTHE | 6:05 · 25.64 km/h |
| Col de Propiac | Philippe MALTAVERNE | 6:05 · 25.64 km/h |
Detection: a rider outside the top 500 overall beating the 5th-best time set by top-50 finishers on a segment.

Rankings at every checkpoint
The course had 10 timing mats — who led the race at each one, and how the field spread out along the course. Mats occasionally miss a rider, which is why some rider pages show “mat missed” on a segment.

The first-name championship
The ranking nobody asked for: which first name brought the most finishers to the summit of the Ventoux.

† = likely but unconfirmed identity (name + invite-bib-block match; homonyms are possible). Curated from the official race report and press coverage — pros racing the Tour de France Femmes itself (which climbed the Ventoux the next day) are a different race and not listed.

About this project. Timing data from the official race timekeeping (Sport Innovation / TimeTo), fetched once after the race and republished here with per-climb segment times, recomputed leaderboards and per-rider pages that the official results don’t offer. Times are official times: unlike the hommes Étape, this edition was ranked on gun time (the clock of each wave’s start, waves 7:00–8:45), not individual chip time — the basis of the official classification. Climb and segment times, computed between two mats a rider crossed, are unaffected by wave starts.
