  "account": "Dutch cyclist Demi Vollering secured her second Tour de France Femmes victory on Sunday, clinching the final stage in Nice. Vollering, 29, had previously triumphed in the race back in 2023 and narrowly missed out in 2024. Her emotion-studded victory was marked by her raising her bike high in the air and tearing up after crossing the finish line. Vollering's triumph comes after an impressive stage win, extending her lead over 2024 champion Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney to 1 minute and 18 seconds. Despite Niewiadoma-Phinney's efforts, she couldn't close the gap, finishing nearly 26 minutes behind Vollering. The Dutch rider celebrated her achievement by acknowledging the hard work and passion of those around her, urging others to chase their dreams. Vollering now joins Annemiek van Vleuten as the only female cyclists to have won all three Grand Tours.",
  "summary": "Dutch rider Demi Vollering has won the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, the second time she has won the famous tour.",
