June 6/26 21:04 pm - Holmgren 2nd on Queen Stage of Giro d'Italia Women
Posted by Editoress on 06/6/26
Demi Vollering (DJ United-Sue) claimed her second victory of the 2026 Giro d'Italia Women, winning Stage 8, the iconic Colle delle Finestre after a stage that was shortened by 29 kms due to the break of an ice block 150 m above the route, and the ensuing high risk of an ice slide that would endanger the riders’ safety.
The European Champion proved strongest from a select group featuring White Jersey holder Isabella Holmgren (Lidl-Trek), German Antonia Niedermaier(Canyon//SRAM zondacrypto) and Maglia Rosa Anna Van der Breggen (Team SD Worx-Protime), who once again matched the attacks launched by her Dutch compatriot on the decisive climb.
Thanks to the time bonuses earned at the finish, Vollering reduced the gap in the general classification, although Van der Breggen remains firmly in control of the race with a 49 second advantage heading into the final stage in Saluzzo.
Niedermaier holds third place overall at 1:20, with Holmgren fourth at 1:55 and Marlen Reusser fifth at 2:58.
Holmgren has a firm hold on the young rider jersy with a gap of 5:03 on Lore de Schepper.
