High Stakes Ahead of Tour de France Femmes Finale

The final stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is set for Sunday in Nice, with only eight seconds separating top contenders Demi Vollering and Kasia Niewiadoma. The stakes have increased following accusations from Niewiadoma against Vollering's teammate, Celia Géry, who she claims impeded her during stage 8.

Niewiadoma expressed her frustration over losing the yellow jersey, calling Géry's actions childish and stating that she has lost respect for the FDJ United – Suez team. Vollering dismissed the complaint, suggesting that such incidents are part of racing. The race jury reviewed the situation but did not impose any penalties.

Stage 9 features four climbs of the Col d’Eze over a distance of 99.2km, promising a challenging day for all competitors. Niewiadoma's teammate, Antonia Niedermaier, remains optimistic about their chances, emphasizing the need to keep fighting. Vollering, leading the race, acknowledges the pressure but is determined to maintain her position as the final stage approaches.
