Demi Volling is disappointed after her moderate performance in the queen’s ride of the Tour de France Femmes. The Dutch lost more than three minutes on Pauline Ferrand-Prévot on Saturday, who won the stage and won the yellow jersey.
“I felt good at the beginning, but I had no answer to Sarah Gigante’s attack,” said fullage after the Queen’s ride. “Normally I have to have an answer to such an attack, so I am very disappointed in myself.”
The 28-year-old fullage had to release 11 kilometers from the top of the Col de la Madeleine after an attack by Sarah Gigante in the favorite group. Only Ferrand-Prévot could eventually follow the Australian.
Ferrand-Prévot drove a little later at Gigante and quickly joined early refugees Yara Kastelijn and Niamh Fisher-Black. Then the Française also left them behind and soloed them to victory. Fulling crossed the finish line at 3.03 minutes.
“I have missed the power a bit in recent days,” Vollering said. “I just couldn’t come along, it’s that simple. I don’t feel myself. The lungs were okay, but my legs were gone.”
In the general classification, Volling is now third. She is 3.18 minutes behind Ferrand-Prévot. On Sunday the tour ends with a heavy mountain rit. In it, the riders must control the highest category and two climbs of the first category. The finish is on a non-categorized climb.
