Vollering seals second Tour de France Femmes title

Demi Vollering, a 29-year-old Dutch cyclist, clinched her second Tour de France Femmes title on Sunday, Aug 9, in Nice, France. The FDJ-Suez rider, recognized as one of the premier cyclists of her era, bolstered her resumé with another remarkable feat. She initiated Sunday's 99.2-kilometer final around Nice with an eight-second lead over Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney, who had previously wrested the yellow jersey from Vollering a day earlier.

Vollering dismantled any lingering uncertainties on the final ascent of Col d Eze, where she executed a decisive attack on Niewiadoma-Phinney, subsequently soloing to victory in Nice.
