Shirin van Anrooij ends the tour with white jersey - "I just want to enjoy this jersey. I want to grow step by step"
Cycling
Trek-Segafredo may not have shared the podium in Tour de France Femmes, but they did not return empty-handed. Shirin van Anrooij ended the tour with the white jersey.
“Today was extremely hard for me, I just felt shit from kilometer zero,” said Van Anrooij. While other riders were aiming for the yellow jersey, she was aiming for the white jersey, which she successfully got in the end.“I was just surviving until the top. I was really just looking for the white jersey today, I was just fighting, and in the end, it was enough, so I am happy,” said Van Anrooji.
She continues, “This was my first long stage race; it was so hard. I really just tried to be there for the team, and it was really cool to race together for Elisa. In the end, I could go for the white jersey, and I learned so much again. I also learned to suffer more than ever – I think I can only grow from this Tour,” Van Anrooij said.
She finished the final stage in 22nd place and 14th in GC. She is satisfied with the white jersey for now. “Now I just want to enjoy this jersey. I want to grow step by step and maybe, one day, in a few years time,” concluded Van Anrooji.

- Where Merckx just rode every single race he could and won all the time, Hinault won less often (percentage wise) because he was more judicious in what he raced. His palmares are nuts. He had amazing rivals, one to start his career and another to end it in the grand tours. His classics were solid. What sets him apart from Merckx and Pogačar are that he basically dabbled in the classics while the other two love(d) them. I used to compare Pogačar to Hinault for his grand tour record and occasional classics win, until I realized that the comparison was wrong. Pogačar loves the classics - ah, the memory of his reaction to finishing fourth in a 2 person sprint in Flanders in ‘22: utter domination in any one day race since then, even when he doesn’t win. Hinault lived for the grand tours and I don’t think anyone else will ever reach his record. 10 wins in 13 attempts? Good lord. An amazing rider. Wish there was more footage to watch.RidesHills11-11-2026
- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
