WHAT HAPPENED
On Sunday, Dutch rider Demi Vollering claimed her second Tour de France Femmes title by finishing 1 minute and 18 seconds ahead of 2024 champion Kasia Niewiadoma. Vollering launched a decisive attack on the Col d’Èze, a climb overlooking Nice, to separate herself from the leading group.
According to Sport | The Guardian, the race’s turning point came on the narrow, winding ascent of the Chemin du Vinaigrier, where breakaway rider Isabella Holmgren was overtaken.

This victory marks Vollering’s second overall win in the event, underscoring her growing dominance in women’s professional cycling and the significance of her tactical choices. The race also highlights the evolving strategies employed by top riders in the sport’s premier stage race.
