  "account": "Demi Vollering secured a hard-fought stage five victory at the Tour de France Femmes, defeating yellow jersey leader Marlen Reusser in a sprint finish. The 140km race from Macon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais saw Reusser retain the overall leader's yellow jersey after winning Tuesday's time trial in Dijon. Vollering's team, comprised of every rider, contributed to her success, making the victory even more special. Vollering expressed her happiness with the win, stating she gave it everything to the line over the demanding final climb. This marks the fifth Tour de France Femmes since its relaunch in 2022, with the race likely to be decided between Vollering, Reusser, and Kasia Niewiadoma, who sits just one minute and 17 seconds behind.",
