2: Vollering wins the double
Demi Vollering has won the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift for the second time. Following her first overall victory in 2023, the Dutch rider also came out on top in 2026.
This makes her the first rider to have won the modern Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift on multiple occasions. Previously, Annemiek van Vleuten (2022), Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (2024) and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (2025) had each triumphed once.
In previous editions of the race, only Maria Canins (1985 and 1986) and Jeannie Longo (1987, 1988 and 1989) had won multiple times.
5 out of 5: A guaranteed place on the podium
Demi Vollering and Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney remain the epitome of consistency. Both have finished on the overall podium in all five of their appearances at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
Vollering always finished her five tours in first or second place. Her victories in 2023 and 2026 were matched by second-place finishes in 2022, 2024 and 2025.
Niewiadoma-Phinney has now experienced every step of the podium: victories in 2024, second place in 2026, and third place in 2022, 2023 and 2025.
6: Vollering’s magic number
Demi Vollering celebrated her sixth stage victory at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in Nice, leaving her just one win behind record holder Lorena Wiebes, who has seven victories to her name.
At the same time, she won her sixth Yellow Jersey and narrowed the gap on Marianne Vos, who holds the record with eight Yellow Jerseys.
Furthermore, Vollering became only the sixth female rider in history to win a stage whilst wearing the yellow jersey. Before her, Marianne Vos, Annemiek van Vleuten, Charlotte Kool, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and Lorena Wiebes had achieved this feat.
1: Niedermaier makes German Tour history
Antonia Niedermaier continued her impressive form and won the young rider classification at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
This makes her not only the first German ever to wear the white jersey, but also the first German woman to win a special classification in the tour.
Niedermaier wore the white jersey for five days. This puts her on a par with Puck Pieterse. Only the French riders Cédrine Kerbaol, with eight days, and Julie Bego, with six days, have worn the young rider’s jersey for longer.
1: All-time national records
Elisa Longo Borghini secured third place, giving Italy its first overall podium finish at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
Other nations also achieved their best results to date: Antonia Niedermaier finished fourth, setting a new German record. Paula Blasi came sixth, achieving Spain’s best-ever result.
In addition, new national records were set for Canada by Isabella Holmgren, who finished eighth, and for Mauritius by Kim Le Court-Pienaar, who finished ninth.
20: The avid jersey collector
Lorena Wiebes won the points classification for the second year running and further expanded her impressive collection of jerseys.
The Dutch rider has now won 17 green jerseys and three yellow jerseys, bringing her total to 20 classification jerseys in the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
With this tally, she draws level with Marianne Vos, who has also won 20 classification jerseys: eight yellow ones and twelve green ones.
3 of 6: UAE Team L'IMAD dominates as a team
With Elisa Longo Borghini in third place, Paula Blasi in fifth and Dominika Wlodarczyk in sixth, UAE Team L'IMAD had three riders in the top six of the general classification.
This marked the team’s first victory in the team classification of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
At the same time, the team made history: never before had a team placed three riders among the top six in a race.
3: Vollering’s hat-trick for the history books
In 2026, Demi Vollering won the stages in Belleville-en-Beaujolais and twice in Nice, thereby adding another chapter to the history of the race.
The Dutch cyclist is the first rider ever to win three stages in a single edition of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
Until now, no female rider had ever won more than two races in a single event. Among those to achieve this were Lorena Wiebes, Marianne Vos, Annemiek van Vleuten, Charlotte Kool, Maëva Squiban and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.
9: Pieterse is the new Queen of the Mountains
Puck Pieterse won the mountains classification and set several records in the process.
The Dutch rider won 18 categorised climbs and scored a total of 55 points. Both figures are new records for a single race.
With a total of nine days in the polka-dot jersey, Pieterse has now drawn level with Élise Chabbey, who led the mountains classification for all nine days of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
1: Holmgren confirms her rise
Isabella Holmgren was named the Tour’s most combative rider in Nice, receiving her first honour in the race.
At the same time, it is the first award of its kind for Canada. The country thus becomes the 13th nation to have a recipient of this award.
Finishing eighth in the overall standings, Holmgren also made history: she is the first winner of the Tour de l'Avenir Femmes to go on to finish in the top ten of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
