Sarah Gigante finished the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in sixth place overall, losing her podium position after a tough final stage. Ahead of the last stage, she was second but struggled during the HC climb of Col de Joux-Plane and fell behind the leading group. Gigante lost significant time on the descent, finishing 3:53 behind on the stage. Despite the setback, she felt she had improved from the previous year, indicating a better overall performance even with one place higher.
Gigante stated, "It was a super hard day. I was already feeling not so strong, physically going up the Joux-Plane. I was hoping to get away and to have a head start for the downhill, but then actually, I was pretty much getting dropped by the top, so I knew it would be hard, because I couldn't rely on just being stronger."
Reflecting on her overall performance, Gigante said, "It feels like a lot better week than last year, even though it's only one place better, I think I improved a lot."
