Stage 8: Demi Vollering seals overall victory on mountain finish

Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) secured overall victory at the 2024 La Vuelta Femenina and showed she is back to her best by attacking alone on the climb to the finish and disracing all her rivals. 

The 27-year-old Dutch rider attacked 6.5km from the finish at the Valdesquí resort near Madrid and quickly distanced all her rivals. She had time to celebrate her victory, high-fiving the crowds along the finish and then lifting her bike in the air beyond the line.

Évita Muzic (FDJ-SUEZ) finished second on the stage at 29 seconds, while Riejanne Markus (Visma-Lease a Bike) was third at 33 seconds. She snatched second place overall from Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) after the Italian struggled on the climb to the line and finished seventh at 1:00. 

Stage 7: Marianne Vos records second win of week on stage 7

Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) sprinted across the top of the uphill finish in Sigüenza to win her second stage of this year's La Vuelta Femenina. Wearing the green jersey as the points classification leader, Vos followed the acceleration of Kristen Faulkner (EF Education-Cannondale) and Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) on the 500-metre climb. Faulkner finished second and Longo Borghini third. Fourth on the day was Demi Vollering (SD Worxs-Protime), who defended her red leader's jersey with one day to go.

Stage 1: Lidl-Trek win opening team time trial despite late crash

Lidl-Trek won the opening TTT of the Vuelta Femenina in Valencia, beating Team Visma-Lease a Bike by only nine-hundredths of a second after having to regroup after a crash in the final kilometre. The team was fastest at the intermediate timing point and looked like the certain winner, but Ellen van Dijk crashed in the final corner, taking down Elynor Bäckstedt with her and disrupting the paceline. With the seconds ticking down, Brodie Chapman and Elisa Longo Borghini waited for Gaia Realini and Lizzie Deignan to catch up, and Longo Borghini threw her bike on the finish line to take the victory. Realini crossed the line first and will be the first wearer of the red leader's jersey.
