After a True Thriller, Demi Vollering is Finally World Champion. 'It Sounds Strange. And Great'
Demi Vollering won the world championship in Montreal after a dramatic race featuring a solo effort of over 23 kilometers. Riding for the Dutch national team under coach Laurens ten Dam, she executed a pre-planned attack with 39 kilometers remaining. This victory marks a redemption from previous world championship setbacks, including tactical errors in Rwanda and Zürich. Supported by teammates such as Puck Pieterse and Riejanne Markus, Vollering held off challenges from Kasia Niewiadoma and Elisa Longo Borghini to secure the rainbow jersey, validating her status as the top rider of the year following wins in major stage races.
