Demi Vollering (FDJ United-Suez) won the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, securing her second title and becoming the first woman to win the race multiple times. Entering the final stage in Nice with an eight-second lead, Vollering delivered a dominant performance on the Col d'Èze, utilizing a decisive solo attack to finish over a minute ahead of her rivals. She secured the general classification victory by a margin of 1 minute 18 seconds ahead of second-place Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon//SRAM) and third-place Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team L’IMAD). Vollering’s victory was achieved despite a stomach virus spreading through the FDJ United-Suez ~~squad and~~ squad—which led her to use facial masks in mixed zones for protection—and a knee injury sustained earlier in the race. She also faced significant challenges on Mont ~~Ventoux before reclaiming~~ Ventoux, where Niewiadoma-Phinney had previously seized the yellow jersey ~~during the eighth stage. This win follows~~ after a ~~highly successful season for~~ solo attack. The race was marked by controversy regarding Stage 8, where Niewiadoma-Phinney and her family accused FDJ United-Suez rider Célia Géry of unsportsmanlike behavior, alleging Géry intentionally blocked or pushed her toward a curb. Vollering’s team defended the ~~Dutch cyclist, which included winning both~~ move as a standard tactical maneuver. Following the ~~Giro~~ final stage, Vollering and ~~the Tour.~~ Niewiadoma reportedly made peace, with Vollering stating, “I wanted to make it clear that we as a team deserve to win a beautiful Tour de France Femmes with humility and with pride.” Earlier in the race, Marlen Reusser (Movistar) claimed the first yellow jersey after winning the 21 km individual time trial from Gevrey-Chambertin to Dijon on August 4. The race conclusion was overshadowed by controversy regarding Stage 8, where Niewiadoma-Phinney accused FDJ United-Suez rider Célia Géry of unsportsmanlike behavior.
