Dutchwoman Demi Vollering won the second edition of the Tour de France Women on Sunday July 30 at the end of the 8th and final stage, a 22-kilometre time trial in the streets of Pau.

This success is already the fifteenth victory this year for the world number 1 who had dominated the spring of the classics, signing the Ardennes hat-trick Flèche wallonne / Liège / Amstel that only her compatriot Anna van der Breggen had achieved before her.

At 26, the leader of the SD Worx team won ahead of her Belgian teammate Lotte Kopecky and the Polish Katarzyna Niewiadoma who finished in the same second.

Demi Vollering succeeds her compatriot Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar), winner of the renaissance edition last year, who reigned for several seasons in women’s cycling and who announced her retirement at the end of the season.

The Frenchwoman Juliette Labous, 6th in the time trial on Sunday, finished in 5th position in the general classification. The young Frenchwoman Cédrine Kerbaol (12th) wins the white jersey in the best young rider classification.
