With only nine stages and four major jersey competitions to settle, there is little room to recover from lost time or missed opportunities. Bonus seconds, sprint points, mountain points, breakaway moves and decisive race incidents can all produce significant changes from one day to the next.
General Classification Standings after Stage 9The Tour de France Femmes is over and Demi Vollering is the winner of the overall classification. On Mont Ventoux, Kasia Niewiadoma had the upper hand on the longer climb. In Nice, Vollering took the Col d’Èze and has managed to make the difference that would decide the race.
An attack on the final climb and a fearless solo descent back into town saw her gain over a minute on her most direct rival. After 2023, Vollering has now won her second Tour de France Femmes, with 1:18 minutes over the Canyon//SRAM rider.
Elisa Longo Borghini has ascended onto the podium this Sunday, bringing UAE Team L’IMAD to the podium in a race where all three leaders showed consistency and great form. The Italian champion benefited from the bad day of Marlen Reusser, who was dropped on the second ascent of the Col d’Èze and then crashed on the descent. Whilst she finished the stage, she would fall out of the Top10.
Antonia Niedermaier finished the race in fourth place, bringing the white jersey as a consolation prize for Canyon, followed by her most direct rival Paula Blasi who has climbed two positions into the Tour’s Top5 in her first participation.
Blasi overtook Cédrine Kerbaol of EF who nevertheless rode to a strong sixth place in the GC. Dominika Wlodarczyk, UAE’s third rider, finished seventh; followed by Isabella Holmgren who climbed to eighth today, Kim Le Court and Niamh Fisher-Black who had a late dash to close out the Top10.

The Dutchwoman won big early in the race, and had to survive as the days moved on, without a single chance to sprint for a result in the second half of the race. Demi Vollering came close, having 152 points against Wiebes’ 181, but it was not enough to make the catch. Lotte Kopecky finished third in the classification.Rnk▼▲RiderTeamPnt1- Wiebes LorenaTeam SD Worx – Protime1812- Vollering DemiFDJ United – SUEZ1523- Kopecky LotteTeam SD Worx – Protime1204- Le Court-Pienaar KimAG Insurance – Soudal Team1075▲2 Niewiadoma KasiaCANYON//SRAM1036- Longo Borghini ElisaUAE Team L’IMAD967▼2 Rüegg NoemiEF Education-Oatly948- Kerbaol CédrineEF Education-Oatly849▲1 Włodarczyk DominikaUAE Team L’IMAD7810▼1 Reusser MarlenMovistar Team72Queen of the Mountains Standings after Stage 9Puck Pieterse has conquered the Queen of the Mountains classification in Nice. The Dutch rider, far from a specialist in the high mountains, set her sights on the secondary classification since the start of the race. Her focus on it brought forward a big reward, as she was also able to withstand the advances of Vollering to win the QOM jersey.Rnk▼▲RiderTeamPnt1- Pieterse PuckFenix-Premier Tech552▲1 Vollering DemiFDJ United – SUEZ303▲1 Niewiadoma KasiaCANYON//SRAM284▲1 Squiban MaevaUAE Team L’IMAD195▲11 Blasi PaulaUAE Team L’IMAD146- Longo Borghini ElisaUAE Team L’IMAD137- Casasola SaraFenix-Premier Tech128- Haugset Sigrid YtterhusUno-X Mobility119- Reusser MarlenMovistar Team1010▲5 Niedermaier AntoniaCANYON//SRAM10Youth Classification Standings after Stage 9
Antonia Niedermaier has completed the Tour in the white jersey. Over the final stage, it appeared obvious that Canyon//SRAM did not want to sacrifice the German’s lead, and her consistency has led her to win it over Paula Blasi. The gap was not big, with 1:03 minutes separating the two in Nice – finishing fourth and fifth in the overall classification respectively.
