"I was nervous today, I thought I could not do it" - Demi Vollering destroys self-doubt to claim stunning Fleche Wallone win

Demi Vollering is in the form of her life at the moment. Continuing Team SD Worx dominance of the women's World Tour, Vollering put any self-doubt to the back of her mind to take victory at La Fleche Wallone Feminine.
Making her decisive attack right at the bottom of the famed Mur de Huy, Vollering simply never looked back. Although a few riders were able to momentarily get back into touching distance with the 26-year-old Dutchwoman, none were able to really threaten her position at the head of the race.
"It was amazing. I was nervous today, I thought I could not do it," Vollering admitted in an emotional post-race interview that alluded to the self-doubt she was feeling despite the face she has now won four of her last six races, finishing second in the other two.
"My teammates really helped me focus, it really was a team effort," Vollering concluded. Team SD Worx have been so dominant in the women's World Tour in 2023, new viewers to women's cycling would be forgiven to thinking they are the only team. The likes of Trek - Segafredo and the Movistar Team have work to do if they are to challenge Vollering and SD Worx in future.

- Some things sound crazy until they aren't, what if he's actually right? 🤷vappaxbipmv23-12-2024
- Why make a comment to state the obvious? Of course MvdP is much better at CX than Pogacar, does anyone doubt that But that wasn't his pointvappaxbipmv23-12-2024
- If you look at road alone obvi Pogacar is the better rider. But maybe MVDP is the better overall rider since he can win in three plus disciplines?mobk23-12-2024
- Correction on 2021 Olympics. It was mainly the Dutch ladies who didn’t know who was leading the race. Other teams like the Germans and Italians knew that Kiesenhofer was out front.mobk23-12-2024
- A champion turning into a sore loser. Or is he on coke again?
UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024
- Debatable?Ride197423-12-2024
- The point is obvious: MVDP can beat Tadej on CX/Road and Tadej cannot. What is so hard to understand???averagecyclist22-12-2024
