Frenchwoman Maeva Squiban made a solo ride to the finish line with a perfectly-timed attack on the final climb to win the mountainous stage six of the Tour de France Femmes on Thursday.

Squiban of UAE Team ADQ finished one minute and nine seconds ahead of compatriot Juliette Labous (FDJ-Suez) in second place.

Squiban stayed in the peloton led by yellow jersey holder Kimberley Le Court Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal), as mountains classification leader Elise Chabbey (FDJ-Suez) led the arduous 10-km climb to Col du Beal, before breaking away on the ascent to Col du Chansert.
