NICE, France (AP) --- Dutch rider Demi Vollering won the Women's Tour de France
for the second time after riding to victory in Sunday's ninth and final stage
to extend her winning margin.
The 2023 champion raised her bike in the air moments after crossing the finish
line in Nice well clear of Polish rider Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney, the 2024
champion. She started Sunday's stage eight seconds behind Vollering, who got a
time bonus for winning the stage.
Former Giro d'Italia champion Elisa Longo Borghini of Italy moved into third
place after Marlen Reusser lost valuable time after crashing going downhill
after the second of the day's four climbs.
