Demi Vollering keeps racing in Tour de France Femmes after crash, Lorena Wiebes wins Stage 4
Vollering, from the FDJ-Suez team, underwent medical tests that excluded a risk of a concussion after she hit the ground during Stage 3.
Vollering rode Stage 4 from Saumur to Poitiers, finishing the day safely in the peloton. She remained sixth overall, lagging 25 seconds behind race leader Marianne Vos.
The stage was won in a sprint by Lorena Wiebes, with Vos and Lara Gillespie completing the podium.
It was Wiebes's second consecutive stage win this year and her fifth overall, a record since the event's revival in 2022. Jeannie Longo holds the all-time record, with 24 stage wins from 1985 and 1989.
Vollering fell less than four kilometers from the finish line in Angers in a crash that involved several riders. Examinations carried out by the team doctor revealed that she had suffered multiple contusions but she did not go to hospital.
Vollering is one of the most decorated cyclists of her generation. She won the Tour de France in 2023.
The nine-stage race ends Aug. 3.

Kim Le Court becomes first African stage winner at Tour de France Femmes
Kim Le Court Pienaar became the first African to win a stage at the Tour de France Femmes with a late push on Wednesday, reclaiming the yellow jersey on stage five's 165.8 km ride from Jaunay-Marigny to Gueret. Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal), who led the general classification after stage two but was overtaken by Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike), won a breakneck downhill push to the finish, edging 2023 champion and overall race favourite Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) on the line. 'We came in with a clear plan, first to stay safe... it was difficult because it was flat and fast, a lot of big crashes... then try for the victory,' Le Court, the Mauritian national champion, said. The 29-year-old sat up to celebrate before crossing the line and only narrowly finished ahead of a still-accelerating Vollering, whose bike throw wasn't enough to pip Le Court. She added: 'When you're on the bike you can see you have the speed, and you'll cross the line first. Maybe I gave a bit of a fright to people watching at home … Luckily for me, I had enough [of a] gap.' The fifth stage, the longest in the Tour this year, went through relatively flat terrain before three climbs in the final 35km and saw several failed breakaway attempts as the peloton covered 46.5 km in the first hour despite multiple crashes. Points jersey holder Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) recovered from a crash to rejoin the peloton and contest the minor places at the intermediate sprint, which was won by Alison Jackson from the breakaway. But the Dutchwoman struggled to keep up after the first climb, ultimately finishing 58th. American Olympic champion Kristen Faulkner (EF Education-Oatly) abandoned the race after her third crash in three days. Maria Giulia Confalonieri, Elisa Balsamo and Monica Trinca Colonel also quit the race, continuing an exodus of big names after Tour de Suisse champion Marlen Reusser and Giro d'Italia winner Elisa Longo Borghini abandoned earlier in the week. A thinned-down group of yellow jersey contenders caught the final breakaway stragglers on the day's final climb, Le Maupuy, inside the last 10km, and attacked to eke out a 30-second gap on the peloton, with Vos unable to go with them. The seven-strong group - including last year's entire podium - would not be caught and ultimately sprinted for the stage honours in Gueret. Paris-Roubaix Femmes champion Pauline Ferrand Prevot (Visma-Lease a Bike) moved up to second, sitting 18 seconds behind Le Court in the general classification, while Vollering rose to third, 23 seconds down. Vollering's performance indicated that despite a nasty crash on stage three - which had threatened to put her out of the race entirely - she remains a serious contender for the yellow jersey once again. Last year's champion Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney sits fourth at 24 seconds back, setting up a tight battle for yellow in the upcoming mountain stages, which will decide the race. Saturday's 'queen stage', from Chambery to a summit finish atop the Col de la Madeleine, features 3,520m of climbing. The Tour continues on Thursday with a mountainous 123.7km ride from Clermont-Ferrand to Ambert. Additional reporting from Reuters

Tour de France Femmes: Kim Le Court becomes first African to win a stage
Kim Le Court became the first African to win a stage of the Tour de France Femmes as the Mauritian won the fifth stage to put herself in the leader's yellow jersey. Team Visma Lease-A-Bike's Marianne Vos started the day in Chasseneuil-du-Poitou (Futuroscope) leading the overall classification but crossed the finish line 165.8km later, in Gueret, 33 seconds behind the first group. The day of racing finished with no movement in the green jersey (points) and the polka-dot jersey (mountains) with Lorena Wiebes (Team SD Worx-Protime) and Elise Chabbey (FDJ-Suez) holding onto them respectively. 🇲🇺 @KimLeCourt takes it on the line !!! 🇲🇺 @KimLeCourt l'emporte sur la ligne !!!#TDFF2025 | #WatchTheFemmes | @gozwift — Le Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift (@LeTourFemmes) July 30, 2025 'We came in with a clear plan, first to stay safe, it was difficult because it was flat and fast, a lot of big crashes, then the big goal was to take the bonus sprint, which I managed to do, then try for the victory,' Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) said after her win. 'It was difficult in the finish, I went around the corner in front and it was a bit further than I expected, but my kick was the best in the group. Advertisement 'I couldn't have done it without a team-mate. Teamwork is what you need in the sport.' The 29-year-old's team-mate Sarah Gigante was in the leading group that included Demi Vollering (FDJ Suez) and Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Team Visma Lease-A-Bike), helping set the pace to ensure Le Court was set up for the win. After two days of dominance from Wiebes, the peloton distanced her and team-mate Lotte Kopecky with just over 20km to go as they chased down the breakaway group. United States champion Kristen Faulkner was one of eight riders to abandon the race on Wednesday, as she was involved in another early crash and her team EF Education-Oatly announced on their X page that she had battled fatigue. The other riders to drop out were Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek), Maria Giulia Confalonieri (Uno-X Mobility), Katrine Aalerud (UnoX-Mobility), Monica Trinca Colonel (Liv-AlUla-Jayco), Eugenia Bujak (Cofidis), Agnieszka Skalniak-Sojka (CANYON//SRAM zondacrypto) and Eleonora Gasparrini (UAE Team ADQ).
