  "account": "Demi Vollering has denied Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney's claim that she blocked her during stage eight of the Tour de France Femmes. Niewiadoma-Phinney accused Vollering's team-mate, FDJ United-Suez's Célia Gery, of forcing her into barriers while Vollering launched a winning attack. Vollering responded to the allegations in an interview, stating that Niewiadoma-Phinney \"really attacked my team-mate\" and questioned her credibility when discussing fair play. Vollering reminded Niewiadoma-Phinney of a previous incident where Niewiadoma-Phinney crashed and lost the yellow jersey to her during stage five of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes. Vollering also defended Gery post-accusation, explaining that the French champion had no choice but to take a specific line due to a pothole in the middle of the corner.",
