The only stage she won was the one that Vollering crashed heavily without her fault, and Kasia rushed to the finish when she saw it. . Kasia lost every duel against Vollering, the Queen stage and the time trial included. This time the yellow jersey was more a colour than a sovereign victory.

[@piotrkol91]

That's cycling in a nutshell though. You often win by avoiding bad luck and crashes.

[@MusikPiratCH]

IMHO the crash wasn't the reason for Kasia's win. It was decided by this too early attack by Demi! Had Demi attacked the same way 10 km before the finish in Alpe d'Huez Demi would have won stage AND Tour!

@@MusikPiratCH The crash absolutely was the reason. If Vollering didn't crash, she never would've lost the yellow in the first place and she easily would've held on to it till the end as Vollering has shown both today and yesterday that she is the strongest rider of the two even with an injured back.

[@mikeburton8426]

The Femmes tour was so much better to watch the the men’s tour this year. At least there was some drama and some excitement. Stuff happens in bike racing and then somebody gets a podium. The only think I can think is that SD Worx DS thought Vollering was so injured in that crash she would not get on her bike so he told everybody to ride on. That she came back from that to podium and even have a realistic shot at winning the whole thing says a lot about her. The entire podium are awesome athletes.

It is too bad that Vollering, who has won so much, couldn't have been more gracious in defeat

Congrats to Kasia. This tour will however be remembered for the worst betrayal of a yellow jersey in the history of all of cycling

[@Harrokacharro]

What a bad mistake from Demi. I thought she would save all her energy for the last 10 km and easily win this by two or three minutes. Why did she attack on Glandon when she knew she probably had to do a 50 km solo ride after that that would waste all her energy? Doesn't make any sense. Whoever told her that needs to be fired.

[@fastfire04]

Kasia said herself she was suffering badly on Glandon so Demi prob saw that and tried to break her at her weakest. It almost worked

[@gyorgyigabor]

Demi had backpain -you should know, that's why it wasn't so easy for her.

[@fastfire04]

@@gyorgyigabor she could barely get off her bike. Amazing that she could even win the stage in her state. 💛

[@MusikPiratCH]

Niamh Fisher-Black announced the attack on the Col du Glandon after stage 7 in her interview! I'm almost sure this was the idea of Dany Stam - again a stupid idea! IMHO the very same attack in the last 10 km would have resulted in stage and Tour win for Demi Vollering. Kasia would probably be 3rd for the 3rd time. I fully agree with this analysis!

[@stephenwest673]

Great win for a great champion, Kasia deserved this win with a performance of guts and determination. Yes Demi may have won had she not been involved in the crash in stage 5 but that’s racing…emotional and beautiful win for Kasia ❤️❤️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🥇🥇🎉🎉

DV by far the best rider, don't know how KN can celebrate winning by attacking yellow jersey on a crash!

[@dstngsh]

Demi definitely had a chip on her shoulder. It was an exciting stage but you could tell she wanted to be anywhere but on the podium today and that probably includes the team bus. Yesterday she rode around aimlessly keeping to herself instead of using to trainer. Today she didn’t change out of her cleats for the podium presentations. Hints at big issues within the team. While I can’t really speak to those issues, tough times like these are where character is revealed. She was not gracious in defeat at all. Not congratulatory at all that I could see. She showed this last year when her team didn’t support her in a race and she complained afterward that other teams weren’t help in her to close gaps. Now her team disappears on her this year. I get the impression she is not very well liked. Best of luck to her next year and huge congratulations to Kasia. She was awesome.

It was Demi's teammate (Wiebes) who knock her down, few others that left her behind, and another (Vas) that pulled away and eventually won the stage. What was Kasia supposed to do in those circumstances? Stop and wait for Demi? Don't be ridiculous.

[@timdowney6721]

Nonsense. Would Stage 5 and the overall change if SD Worx was intelligent enough to support their own teammate in Yellow after her crash? Maybe, perhaps even likely. But KN can only ride the race that happened....not some hypothetical. She rode a worthy defense of the Yellow Jersey today. For the record, I was cheering for Demi.
