In the general classification, she is ahead of her compatriot Slind (2nd at 47”) and the American Jessie Diggins (3rd at 2’41”), holder of the big crystal globe. On the Blue side, no French woman was at the start of this last stage, a virus having decimated the French team during this Tour de ski with the abandonments among the women over the days of Léonie Perry, Mélissa Gal and Léna Quintin . Injured just before the start of the Tour, Delphine Claudel, specialist in the climb of Alpe Cermis – victorious in 2023 and again 3rd last year – was not at the start either.
