The Tour de l'Ardèche resumed its journey and, after yesterday's stage was canceled by the Prefect, today offered a 119-kilometer stage starting from Avignon and ending in Pernes-les-Fontaines with Mischa Bredewold's victory. The SD Worx Protime Dutch rider beat her compatriot Amber Kraak in FDJ Suez jersey and Polish rider Marta Lach, her teammate. The podium, two-thirds SD Worx Protime, somewhat mitigates the Dutch team's disappointment over Lotte Kopecky's withdrawal: the world champion, leader of the general classification of the French race, was forced to retire following a crash at the beginning of the stage. Now, Eleonora Ciabocco leads the time classification.

The race was characterized by the attack of Monica Trinca Colonel and Evita Music near the top of Col della Ligne, the second of the day's three difficulties: the Valtelline rider from Liv AlUla Jayco crested first and continued her action. At the top of Col d'Unang, it was the FDJ Suez French rider who anticipated Trinca Colonel, then - about three kilometers from the finish - the breakaway was neutralized and shortly after Bredewold could celebrate her seventh seasonal victory.
