Dutch cyclist Demi Vollering, winner of this year's Giro d'Italia, plans to secure her second Tour de France Femmes victory.

Franco-Polish rider Pauline-Ferrand Prévot won the 2025 race, but for this year’s version in Lausanne on Saturday, Dutch cyclist Demi Vollering is considered a strong contender. Her outspoken stance makes her a fan favorite and has helped establish her as a leading voice in women's cycling.

Vollering is set to make a bold statement at the 2024 Tour de France Femmes, which holds significant mountain stages, including its first-ever visit to Mont Ventoux – a place that sparked Vollering’s climbing skills as a young girl. With a change of training schedule and new focus, Vollering hopes to capitalize on her status as the 'first million-dollar athlete in women's racing.'
