Jansen wins from the break after a late crash; Blasi takes the overall
The 114.4 km final stage from Nay to Jurançon gave the attackers one last chance, and a 10-rider breakaway went up the road and stayed clear of a peloton content to let the move go with the GC settled. Eline Jansen (VolkerWessels Cycling) was the strongest of the escapees, surging in the closing kilometres.
Jansen crashed on her own inside the final kilometre but remounted and still had enough to win the stage ahead of Léa Curinier (FDJ United-SUEZ).
