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.<\/p>\n
General Classification Standings after Stage 9The Tour de France Femmes is over and Demi Vollering<\/a> 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’\u00c8ze and has managed to make the difference that would decide the race.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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’\u00c8ze and then crashed on the descent. Whilst she finished the stage, she would fall out of the Top10.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Blasi overtook C\u00e9drine 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.<\/p>\n Rnk\u25bc\u25b2RiderTeamTime1-\u00a0Vollering\u00a0DemiFDJ United – SUEZ30:54:512-\u00a0Niewiadoma\u00a0KasiaCANYON\/\/SRAM1:183\u25b21\u00a0Longo Borghini\u00a0ElisaUAE Team L’IMAD4:294\u25b21\u00a0Niedermaier\u00a0AntoniaCANYON\/\/SRAM5:105\u25b22\u00a0Blasi\u00a0PaulaUAE Team L’IMAD6:136-\u00a0Kerbaol\u00a0C\u00e9drineEF Education-Oatly6:417\u25b21\u00a0W\u0142odarczyk\u00a0DominikaUAE Team L’IMAD7:538\u25b22\u00a0Holmgren\u00a0IsabellaLidl – Trek9:129-\u00a0Le Court-Pienaar\u00a0KimAG Insurance – Soudal Team14:0410\u25b22\u00a0Fisher-Black\u00a0NiamhLidl – Trek15:1411\u25b22\u00a0Vinke\u00a0NienkeTeam SD Worx – Protime22:5612\u25b24\u00a0de Vries\u00a0FemkeTeam Visma | Lease a Bike24:0813\u25bc2\u00a0de Jong\u00a0ThalitaHuman Powered Health24:4114\u25bc11\u00a0Reusser\u00a0MarlenMovistar Team25:5715\u25b23\u00a0Berthet\u00a0JulietteFDJ United – SUEZ28:1216\u25bc1\u00a0Buijsman\u00a0NinaHuman Powered Health28:2217\u25bc3\u00a0R\u00fcegg\u00a0NoemiEF Education-Oatly33:2018\u25b22\u00a0Vallieres\u00a0MagdeleineEF Education-Oatly36:1819\u25b23\u00a0Morier\u00a0\u00c9milieSt Michel – Preference Home – Auber9339:0620\u25bc3\u00a0Garc\u00eda\u00a0MaviUAE Team L’IMAD41:50Points Classification Standings after Stage 9Lorena Wiebes<\/a> has won the points classification at the Tour, bringing to a close a week-long mission. 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.

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.<\/p>\n Rnk\u25bc\u25b2RiderTeamTime1-\u00a0Niedermaier\u00a0AntoniaCANYON\/\/SRAM31:00:012-\u00a0Blasi\u00a0PaulaUAE Team L’IMAD1:033-\u00a0Holmgren\u00a0IsabellaLidl – Trek4:024-\u00a0Vinke\u00a0NienkeTeam SD Worx – Protime17:465-\u00a0Gery\u00a0C\u00e9liaFDJ United – SUEZ38:58Team Classification Standings after Stage 9<\/p>\n UAE Team L’IMAD conquered the team’s classification, further solidifying its lead on the final day of the race.
