Vollering overhauls Van der Breggen to win women's Giro
European champion Demi Vollering completed the full set of Grand Tours on Sunday as she claimed the women's Giro d'Italia after overnight leader Anna van der Breggen cracked on the race's final climb.
Following her victories at the Tour de France Femmes in 2023 and the women's Vuelta a Espana in 2024 and 2025, Dutch rider Vollering has now joined a selected band of riders to win all three Grand Tours.
Vollering began the day 49 seconds behind Van der Breggen but dropped her rival on the final climb with around 38km remaining and then soloed up to a leading trio including Germany's Antonia Niedermaier, who had been the virtual leader on the road for a time when the gap to those behind had climbed over 1min 30sec.
Italian Elisa Longo Borghini won the 145km-long ninth and final stage around Saluzzo in the Piedmont region, pipping Niamh Fisher-Black in the sprint to the line.
Niedermaier came third to move up to second overall, with Vollering fourth.
Van der Breggen was sixth, more than two minutes behind the winner, dropping to third overall.
It was the second time this year that she had lost a Grand Tour on the final stage after Spain's Paula Blasi overhauled her at the Vuelta last month.
Van der Breggen, 36, had been aiming to match the record of Italian Fabiana Luperini as she sought a fifth Giro success.
