- Wish you had stopped after the first sentence! We're allowed to respect Demi here too (sorry if you can't stand her)Hills3308-06-2026
- Classiest rider ever. So many others including her biggest competitor would have had excuses. They were already being baked into the discussion in case today didn’t happen. AVDB forevermij08-06-2026
- I really hope the funding and support for the Women's tour remains stable so achievements like this can gain the same gravity within the women's pro peloton as they have in the men's. Instead of the sort of patchwork quilt effect of events stopping and starting and making it hard to say "x number of riders have done this". Epic win anyway, I really didn't see this overhaul happening after the truncated end of the prior stage.antipodeanpedalfan08-06-2026
- I have no expectations for Seixas in this years Tour. I hope he takes his time and learns for future Tours, maybe he can light up some climbs.awp08-06-2026
- Pretty epic attack by Demi there, just left it all on the table. And great to see ELB show her mettle with the win.DAS08-06-2026
- The unpredictability is what makes races like these so interesting. AvdB survived Finestre so I expected this stage to be a procession but it was far from it. Kudos to Demi for daring to lose and for Antonia too

- When a professional cyclist calls someone "very thin", it means he is close to transparent.

- What a ride Demi 🔥 an absolute pleasure to watch! She is a huge reason why women's cycling is so exciting right now. She really brings the races to life. It’s no wonder the final of the women’s TdF 24’ had more viewership than the men’s Vuelta.anonymouscyclist07-06-2026
