Demi Vollering wins 2026 Tour de France Femmes

Demi Vollering of FDJ United-Suez has won the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, marking her second title in the modern era of the race. Vollering secured the victory in Nice after a dominant performance on the final stage, which featured multiple ascents of the Col d’Eze. She finished the race with a 1:18 lead over runner-up Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney of Canyon//SRAM.

The race was characterized by intense competition and tactical drama. Niewiadoma-Phinney, who had previously held the yellow jersey, accused FDJ United-Suez rider Célia Gery of unsportsmanlike conduct during a decisive climb, claiming Gery intentionally blocked her path. Vollering and her team defended Gery, describing the incident as a standard tactical maneuver in a tight corner.

Other notable results include Puck Pieterse winning the mountains classification and Lorena Wiebes taking the points classification. The 2026 edition saw a record five different riders wear the yellow jersey during the event. Beyond the podium, the race highlighted ongoing economic discussions in women's cycling regarding prize money, media visibility, and the need for more consistent professional calendars.
