Demi Vollering moved into the overall lead of the Tour de France Femmes on Saturday after winning stage eight in Nice, where a late move shaped the penultimate day of the race. The Dutch rider’s result put her in yellow with one stage left.
The stage ended after a dramatic final stretch on the route to Nice, with Vollering emerging from the decisive action ahead of her rivals. The result came on the day before the race concludes.
