CNN —The Netherlands’ Demi Vollering sealed her first ever Tour de France Femmes title on Sunday shaking her head in disbelief as she crossed the finish line.
She took overall victory by three minutes and three seconds ahead of her SD Worx teammate Lotte Kopecky,“I still can’t believe it.
“In the end, you have a dream and you work really hard for it, but you keep yourself a bit calm.
Much was made of a 20-second penalty that Vollering received on Stage 4 for drafting behind her team car while returning to the peloton after a puncture.
Vollering finished second on Stage 8's time trial.
