Van Vleuten wins La Vuelta Femenina

Nine seconds. SD Worx’s Demi Vollering was just nine seconds shy of winning La Vuelta Femenina atop the Lagos de Covadonga, after she dropped race leader Annemiek van Vleuten with more than 5 kilometres to go. Vollering reached the summit of the iconic Asturian climb in victory, 56s ahead of her rival. The Movistar Team rider, endured an extraordinary amount of suffering to defend her lead and bring the Red jersey home. Third overall and QOM winner, Trek-Segafredo’s Gaia Realini, kept Vollering company for most of the climb to the Lagos de Covadonga and was 2nd at its summit.

127 riders took the start in the 7th stage of La Vuelta Femenina which covered 93.7 kilometres between Pola de Siero and Lagos de Covadonga. Nine kilometres into the race, Gladys Verhulst (FDJ-SUEZ), Kathrin Hammes (EF Education-Tibco-SVB) and Margot Pompanon (St Michel-Mavic-Auber93) managed to go clear from the bunch. The front trio wasn’t granted much leeway as they were swept up at kilometre 36, right at the base of the climb to La Collada Moandi (cat 2, km 48.5), due to the hard pace set by Trek-Segafredo.

SD Worx on the offensive
SD Worx took over from Trek-Segafredo at the helm of the bunch, reducing it to just 15 riders atop the day’s first climb. After the descent, with 38 kilometres to go, Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon//SRAM) attacked and was quickly joined by Marlen Reusser (SD Worx) to establish a breakaway duo at the front. They built a gap well above one minute, although the bunch was far from nervous as it had waited for a group of 20 riders to regain contact. GC leader Annemiek van Vleuten found herself with five Movistar Team teammates to shelter behind, and with a little help from Jumbo-Visma they brought back the front duo with 16 kilometres to go. Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) led the bunch through Cangas de Onis (km 71.2) to secure her green jersey as winner of the Points classification.

Everything at stake in the climb to Lagos de Covadonga
Everything was set for the Lagos de Covadonga (HC, Cima Estela Domínguez, km 93.7) to decide the race winner. Movistar Team’s Liane Lippert led the bunch onto the climb with SD Worx’s Niamh Fisher-Black quickly taking over to set up the attack of her teammate Demi Vollering, who attacked a couple of times before finally taking off with 8 kilometres to go. Gaia Realini (Trek-Segafredo), Évita Muzic (FDJ-SUEZ) and van Vleuten managed to follow her wheel. The French rider was dropped with 7 kilometres to go, while an acceleration from Realini made van Vleuten lose ground with 5.3 kilometres remaining to climb. The duel was intense, with the gap increasing second by second until the very top of the final climb. A fast descent on the small downhill section in the final kilometre saw Vollering go clear from Realini to claim the stage win, with Van Vleuten managing to keep the Red jersey by just nine seconds.

 

Top Canadian was Olivia Baril (UAE Team ADQ) finishing 28th on the stage at 12:37 back. Baril finished 19th overall at 14:03 back.
