Pauline Ferrand-Prevot storms into yellow jersey on eve of Tour de France Femmes finale
France's Pauline Ferrand-Prevot powered to victory on the mountainous stage eight of the Tour de France Femmes on Saturday, dropping her rivals before the Col de la Madeleine summit to claim the yellow jersey on the eve of the finale. The 33-year-old, who won the Paris-Roubaix Femmes in April, attacked seven kilometres from the summit to overtake Niamh Fisher-Black (Lidl-Trek) and Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck) before riding clear. The Visma-Lease a Bike rider crossed the line one minute 45 seconds ahead of Sarah Gigante (AG Insurance-Soudal), with Fisher-Black in third two minutes 15 seconds behind. "It was super painful, the last kilometre, because I wanted to have a gap as big as possible for tomorrow. I also wanted to enjoy it but it's not over until you cross the finish line. I'm so happy we made it," Ferrand-Prevot said. Ferrand-Prevot's Visma teammate Marion Bunel, who was with her in the early breakaway, dropped back to pace her on the Col de la Madeleine. "I can't wait to see my teammates and to share this jersey with them because they have been a big, big part of this victory and this yellow jersey," Ferrand-Prevot added. "For sure I will give everything for the jersey tomorrow. My teammates will be there to support me, so it makes me feel a bit more relaxed about it." Ferrand-Prevot, Paris Olympics gold medallist in cross-country mountain biking, will take her commanding lead into Sunday's final stage, aiming to become the first Frenchwoman to win the Tour de France Femmes. It was a third straight stage victory for France which capped an aggressive display from Ferrand-Prevot, who started the day 26 seconds off the general classification leader Kimberley Le Court Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal). Her win put her in the overall lead, with Gigante, two minutes 37 seconds adrift, the only general classification favourite still able to challenge her on the final 124.1km mountain ride from Praz-sur-Arly to Chatel. Mauritian Le Court crashed on the descent from the Col du Frene with 63km remaining, briefly trailing the peloton by about a minute before resuming her chase. She rejoined later, but her effort to set the pace for teammate Gigante, combined with the relentless climbing, cost her dearly in the general classification, dropping her to 11th place.

'It was like going back in time to last season'
We asked for your views on Kilmarnock 2-2 draw against what some of you said: John: It was like going back in time to last season, come on Killie get it sorted out before it becomes normal to throw away points. It stops now, no more A good first half performance but a disappointing second half. The red card and penalty made a big difference, however, Killie were on the back foot most of the second half. There are some positives but the overarching feeling is that we still have work to do and we need more cover defensively!Amy: It was a clear penalty and a sign of inexperience from George Stanger. What's more worrying is the manager's in-game changes. Taking off Marcus Dackers who was holding the ball, taking off Tom Lowery who keeps possession, bringing a new signing out the cold into left back - that's more concerning than anything for Very disappointed to only draw the game. For all their possession Livi didn't create many chances. The game turns on the penalty. A very frustrating result but we did well in the first half and scored two good goals. I feel we need to beef up the central defence and New season, new manager, some new players in, yet once again it's the same as last season on too many occasions, another red We had a good five minute spell in which we scored two goals but overall Livi were the better team, even before we went down to ten. Our lack of depth and quality was cruelly exposed and Livi's recruitment looks better than ours. Lewis Smith's impact from the bench was far better than anything we could produce and, goalkeeper apart, we look much weaker than last season. You can't ask for a better opening game than against the second promoted team at home, and they bossed us.
