Gigante makes huge move in Tour shake up
French rider Pauline Ferrand-Prevot took a commanding lead at the Tour de France Femmes after launching a solo attack on the final climb of Saturday's penultimate stage. But Australian rider Sarah Gigante surged into second place, 2 minutes, 37 seconds behind, on a day of big changes in the leading positions. The 2023 champion, Demi Vollering of the Netherlands, is 3:18 adrift heading into Sunday's last stage. Overnight leader Kimberley Le Court Pienaar - Gigante's AG Insurance-Soudal teammmate - crashed on the descent from the Col du Frene with 63km remaining, briefly trailing the peloton by about a minute. She rejoined but the effort and the relentless climbing cost her dear in the general classification as she dropped to 11th place. Last year's event had the smallest winning margin in the history of the women's and men's races, but Ferrand-Prevot - who won the mountain bike gold medal at last year's Paris Olympics - looks like winning far more comfortably, despite Gigante's efforts. The Frenchwoman trailed Le Court by 26 seconds heading into stage eight from Chambery to Saint-François-Longchamp, which took the riders on a 112km trek into the mountains. It featured an early climb of 13km up Col de Plainpalais before finishing with a tortuous ascent of 18.6km to Col de Madeleine, one of the most famed climbs in cycling. Gigante went on the offensive with 12 km to go and only Ferrand-Prevot of the GC favourites was able to stay with her on the climb. The Olympic champion then attacked at the start of the final 9km and Gigante was unable to keep up with her. The Frenchwoman hit the front 7km from the summit and powered to a superb victory. Gigante crossed the line 1:45 behind her, while Niamh Fisher-Black rolled in 2:15 behind in third spot. Vollering was fourth. The 24-year-old Melburnian had joked on Friday night, at the end of the seventh stage, that some of the big names had "missed a couple of opportunities" to shake her off. "They could have got rid of me yesterday, maybe Kim today. We'll see what happens, but from our point of view, hopefully they live to regret it." Those words have proved prophetic and she has a podium finish in her sights. Sunday's ninth and final stage from Praz-sur-Arly to Chatel is another mountainous route, with three big climbs, and is even longer at 124km.

'The Wind' Blows In Ferrari's Favour: McLaren's 'Pathetic' Excuse After Leclerc Pole At Hungarian GP
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc claimed a surprise pole at the Hungarian GP, beating McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in changing weather. It's Ferrari's first pole of 2025. After dominating every practice session throughout the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, McLaren were left stunned during Saturday's qualifying as Ferrari's Charles Leclerc surged to a surprise pole position under rapidly changing weather conditions. Having set the pace in all three practice sessions, McLaren entered qualifying as clear favourites. But when it mattered most, series leader Oscar Piastri and his teammate — and closest title rival — Lando Norris found themselves outpaced by Leclerc's perfectly timed final lap. Piastri, who leads the championship standings after 13 of the 24 scheduled races, was left to reflect on what might have been after qualifying second on the grid. 'I think the wind changed a lot," said the Australian. 'It always sounds so pathetic, blaming things on the wind, but the wind basically did a 180 from Q1 to Q3, so it just meant a lot of the corners felt completely different." Piastri admitted that the shift in conditions caught him off guard. 'My first lap in Q3 felt pretty terrible because I wasn't used to it, and then I thought the second lap was better – but it was even slower," he said. 'It's so difficult to judge in those conditions – and maybe not the best execution. I was a bit surprised that we couldn't go quicker than that. Second is still a decent spot to start. We'll see what we can do tomorrow." Norris, who qualified third and sits just 16 points behind Piastri in the championship, echoed similar frustrations, suggesting the team may have been too conservative as the wind disrupted their usual rhythm. 'I think Charles did a good job on the last lap and he probably risked a bit more in these conditions," said Norris. 'The wind changed a lot and it really seemed to punish us in a bigger way." Leclerc Takes First Pole of 2025 Leclerc's pole lap not only secured his first-ever top spot in Hungary but also marked Ferrari's first pole of the 2025 season and the 27th of his career. It was a dramatic turnaround for the Italian team, who have struggled to consistently challenge McLaren and Red Bull this year. His late flyer in Q3 edged out Piastri by just 0.021 seconds, with Norris another 0.032 seconds behind — underlining just how tight the session was. Historic Qualifying Tightness In fact, just 0.543 seconds separated pole-sitter Leclerc from 10th-placed rookie Isack Hadjar of Racing Bulls, making it one of the closest qualifying sessions in Formula One history.
