Dutch cyclist Demi Vollering (FDJ Unites - SUEZ) has won the women's Tour de France for the second time in her career. She secured the overall victory in dominant fashion, also winning the final stage on Sunday, which started and finished in Nice.

For the 29-year-old Dutchwoman, it was her third stage win of this year's Tour, having previously triumphed in stages five and eight. It was in stage eight that she took the yellow jersey ahead of the decisive 100 kilometers of the fifth edition of this prestigious race, with a minimal lead of just eight seconds over Poland's Kasia Niewiadoma (CANYON/SRAM).

Decisive Attack 19 Kilometers from the Finish

The showdown between the two former Tour winners began on the final climb of the stage, 19 kilometers from the finish. Vollering was the first to attack, but Niewiadoma managed to respond to that initial breakaway attempt. However, about three kilometers later, the Dutchwoman increased the pace again. This time, the Polish rider no longer had the strength to follow the rhythm.

Vollering crossed the finish line in Nice after two hours, 44 minutes, and 43 seconds of racing, while the group containing Niewiadoma arrived 1 minute and 4 seconds behind.

Historic Achievement and Joining a Legend

In the final general classification, Vollering triumphed with a lead of 1 minute and 18 seconds over Niewiadoma. Third place on the podium went to Italy's Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE L'IMAD), who finished 4 minutes and 29 seconds behind the winner.

With this victory, Vollering became the first female cyclist in history to win the Tour de France twice. Her first win came in 2023. Her Grand Tour trophy cabinet also includes two titles at the Spanish Vuelta (2024 and 2025), and this year she also won the Italian Giro. This places her alongside her famous compatriot Annemiek van Vleuten as the second female rider in history to have won titles in all three Grand Tours.
