The Hope of the Stage & the Tour TdFF24-43
With seven kilometers left of climbing up the Alpe d'Huez and the Tour de France Femmes Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) and Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix-Deceuninck) were desperate to increase their advantage over the chasing group with the race leader. The pair currently have one minute and eleven seconds lead, but need another ten seconds and the time bonus at the finish to win the final Maillot Jaune. The pair sit just two seconds apart, so which ever woman wins the race will win the third Tour de France Femmes, assuming that Katarzyna Niewiadoma loses much more time to them.
