SD Worx is going at full strength to the upcoming Tour de France Femmes. The Dutch team has the top favorite for the overall victory with Demi Vollering, but is also counting on sprinter Lorena Wiebes and breakaways with Marlen Reusser and Lotte Kopecky.
"We have opted for a group that is complementary and that has the qualities to create race situations," sports director Danny Stam looks ahead to the French grand tour in a press release. "That is no guarantee that you can just bend the Tour to your will. I recently explored the course and came to the conclusion that it is a tough course with some stages that are really tough."

"You can lose the Tour de France in a snap. You have to be sharp every day, because an accident lurks in a small corner," Stam believes. "Demi Vollering has taken a step forward in every area and is better than last year, but the competition has also emerged stronger in recent weeks. I expect that we will have a nice Tour with a lot of battle."
Team SD Worx for Tour de France Femmes:
Demi Vollering, Lorena Wiebes, Lotte Kopecky, Marlen Reusser, Elena Cecchini, Christine Majerus and Mischa Bredewold

- It's going to happen at some point. It will happen to Tadej as well, we all get older. Jonas was in pretty great form at the tour. I still consider him a top two or three cyclist in the world, until he's not.awp15-11-2026
- mij, I am not so sure of that. I have been on a spine ward at a Denver hospital that had quite a few spinal injuries from mountain biking.BDBigGuy15-11-2026
- Pogi takes care of his teammates in races and training. Tadej Pogačar is widely praised within the cycling peloton for his fair and egalitarian leadership, actively supporting his UAE teammates both on the road during races and behind the scenes at training camps. Rather than acting like an untouchable superstar, he has intense team loyalty by sharing daily chores, giving up personal glory to help domestiques, and publicly praising their sacrifices. Unlike some Grand Tour contenders, like Vingegaard, who occasionally train away from their squads, Pogi consistently attends team training camps alongside his domestiques, making the exact same sacrifices to build friendship. I love how Pogačar shares his teammates-domestiques, either when they succeed or win in races or when they simply just do a good job for him. It has to be a great moral boost for them. And then they work even harder and go even deeper for Pogi. This is teamwork.PogiSloFans15-11-2026
