Demi Vollering wins the Tour de France Femmes for the second time
Demi Vollering has won the Tour de France Femmes after an impressive finale in Nice, confirming her dominant performances in women's cycling.
Demi Vollering won the Tour de France Femmes on Sunday, marking her second victory in this competition. The Dutch cyclist from FDJ United-SUEZ capped her performance with a win in the final stage, which took place in Nice. This allowed her to maintain her leading position in the general classification and successfully defend the yellow jersey.
In the penultimate stage, Vollering had already taken a significant step by taking the yellow jersey from Polish cyclist Kasia Niewiadoma. With a strong stage victory in Nice, she was able to ride Niewiadoma out of the yellow jersey and entered the finale as the leader. This marks a turning point in the race, where Vollering solidly underpinned her ambition to win again.
FDJ United-SUEZ, Vollering's team, has delivered a remarkable performance during the Tour de France Femmes. In addition to the overall victory, Vollering also won three stages, resulting in a financial advantage for her team of over 77,000 euros in prize money. This highlights Vollering's strong form and impressive talent, which led to significant rewards for her team.
The final standings of the Tour de France Femmes show a large gap between the performances of FDJ United-SUEZ and other teams. While FDJ United-SUEZ was profitable, other teams reportedly did not earn any prize money during this edition, which is a significant disappointment for them.
With her victory in Nice and the overall win in the Tour de France Femmes, Vollering continues a strong streak in her career. Her performances are seen as evidence of her dominance in women's cycling, especially this season in which she has also won other major races such as the Giro and two Monuments.
The Tour de France Femmes 2026 concludes with Vollering as the winner, once again highlighting the excitement and competition in women's cycling. Her successes will undoubtedly be remembered by fans and volunteers for a long time, as she has once again established herself as a leading name in women's division sport.
