- Kasia Niewiadoma accused FDJ‑Suez rider Célia Géry of blocking her against barriers in the stage‑8 finale, leading to an on‑camera confrontation at the finish.
- Race commissaires reviewed the footage but did not sanction the maneuver, and FDJ officials including sporting director Lars Boom defended the tactic as planned team positioning.
- Géry received abusive messages and death threats on social media after the dispute, prompting public condemnation from FDJ and calls to protect the 20‑year‑old rider.
- The final stage also featured key incidents that shaped the podium: Marlen Reusser crashed on a descent and lost time, Pauline Ferrand‑Prévot abandoned for medical reasons, and Elisa Longo Borghini finished third overall.
