'No time to realise it yet' – Vollering's Tour de France Femmes triumph still sinking in

Tour de France Femmes 2023: Demi Vollering (SD Worx) absorbs claiming overall victory after the stage 8 time trial

After taking second place in the time trial, and standing on the stage podium between her teammates Marlen Reusser and Lotte Kopecky, Vollering took to the top step of the overall podium.
