Nelson Attacks Solo at Tour de France Femmes 2026

Josie Nelson (Picnic-PostNL) launched a solo attack on the hilly 153.4km sixth stage of Tour de France Femmes 2026 from Montbrison to Tournon-sur-Rhône. The rider from Lichfield in Staffordshire broke away from the peloton as they approached the first climb of the day.

With 139km remaining in the stage, Nelson's attack put her in the spotlight, though her teammates Eleonora Ciabocco and Lene Robyn Clay have been dropped, along with another Picnic-PostNL rider, Mia Griffin, raising questions about the team's performance on the challenging terrain. afrikasportnews.co.za
