"She is a very justified winner" - Ine Beyen believes Demi Vollering now has Tour de France Femmes victory sown up
Cycling
Demi Vollering launched a brutal, solo attack on the famed slopes of the Col du Tourmalet at the 2023 Tour de France Femmes on Saturday. Winning the stage, Vollering also gain a firm grip of the general classification.
"Her lead is sufficient and this time trial suits her," says Sporza analyst Ine Beyen, not believing in a dramatic Annemiek Van Vleuten comeback. "She worked hard on this part and her position on the bike has been adjusted. So normally we know the overall winner."
The Team SD Worx leader now holds an advantage of 1:50 over Katarzyna Niewiadoma and 2:28 over Van Vleuten. "Vollering must have been bitten by all the criticism. And we cannot deny that SD Worx was still there in the final yesterday with three: Reusser, Kopecky and Vollering," continues Beyen.

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
