Following Friday's events on Mont Ventoux at the Tour de France Femmes, which saw Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney soar into the yellow jersey ahead of pre-race standout favourite Demi Vollering, it was inevitable that Vollering would launch an assault on the new race leader on the final weekend in Nice.
We didn't have to wait long for that to happen, as Vollering and her FDJ United-SUEZ teammates raced with full force up the final climb of stage 8, the Côte de la Ginestrière.
