Vollering claims Tour de France Femmes crown
Everything was set for a beautiful finale in Nice, and Sunday delivered a stage that evoked the Race to the Sun (Paris-Nice) and crowned a deserving queen.
Demi Vollering (FDJ United-Suez) won the last stage of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift to secure her Yellow Jersey, defeating her rival Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon//SRAM) with an attack inside the final kilometre of the last climb up the Col d’Éze.
The Dutch rider thus netted her second overall victory in the Grande Boucle by 1’18” on her Polish challenger and 4’29” on Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team L’Imad), who stepped on the third spot of the podium as Marlen Reusser (Movistar Team) got dropped early on the stage and then crashed out of contention.
