Wearing the polka-dot jersey, Justine Ghekiere really did prove herself the Queen of the Mountains at the 2024 Tour de France Femmes on stage 7, securing a stunning, summit finish stage win.
“I really have no words, I think I’m dreaming!" AG Insurance - Soudal Team's 28-year-old Belgian reflected emotionally in her post-stage interview afterwards. "It’s crazy, I really want to thank my team today."
Having spent much of the day in the breakaway, Ghekiere was able to call upon the incredible support of her teammate Julie van de Velde in the lead group, a fact that was key in her eventual stage win. "The whole team was really at the front at the beginning to protect me and get me into the breakaway. Especially a really, really big thanks to Julie [Van de Velde], she rode a really strong race. She did everything for me to get me in position to start this climb and to save as much energy as possible,! Ghekiere explains. "This victory is also really thanks to Julie."
"When I took the last [Mountain] points I was really dead and I though, ‘I’ll just go at my own pace’. I was able to stay away at the front and I couldn’t believe it," Ghekiere concludes. "It will be a big present to ride a bike with polka dots and I’m really looking forward to ride the last stage of this Tour in this jersey. With the win already it is just brilliant.”

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
