DUTCH RIDER DEMI Vollering took the Tour de France Femmes overall title in style on Sunday, winning the hilly final stage to extend her lead on nearest rival Kasia Niewiadoma Phinney, who finished second overall after a tense struggle.
“It’s a dream to live this life,” Vollering said after hoisting her bike above her head at the finish line.
Vollering then edged into the overall lead on Saturday, attacking late on a small hill and edging into an eight-second overall lead on Niewiadoma Phinney.
Also from the Netherlands, Puck Pieterse secured the polka dot climb points jersey ahead of the final stage.
The best young rider jersey was won by Germany’s Antonia Niedermaier.
