  "account": "In the final stage of the Tour de France Femmes, Demi Vollering secured a historic second victory by winning the race around Nice, with a 1:04 second gap to her closest rival, Kasia Niewiadoma. Vollering, riding for FDJ United-SUEZ, dropped Niewiadoma on the final ascent of Col d’Èze with 16km remaining and went solo to the finish on Promenade des Anglais. Vollering expressed her joy, stating that it marked the culmination of her dreams and the strength of her team. Niewiadoma, who narrowly missed the final podium spot after a crash, secured second place in the general classification. Other notable finishes included Elisa Longo Borghini (third), Antonia Niedermaier (white jersey for best young rider), Lorena Wiebes (green jersey for best sprinter), and Puck Pieterse (polka dot jersey for highest mountain finish).",
