7 : WIEBES AGAIN AND AGAIN
Super-powerful along the shores of Lake Geneva, where she covered the final kilometre at an average speed of 63.2 km/h, Lorena Wiebes claimed the seventh stage victory of her career at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift this Sunday, marking her fifth win in the colors of SD Worx - Protime. The Dutch sprinter, who boasts 133 professional victories (including 15 this season), opened her account on the Champs-Élysées in Paris in 2022 and has triumphed at least once in four of the five editions of the race, with only the stages of the 2024 Tour eluding her.
2 x 2 : BIS REPETITA
Lorena Wiebes does it again! Just as she did the day before in Lausanne, the Dutch rider raised her arms in victory in Geneva. Since the race’s revival in 2022, she has thus become the first rider to achieve such a double-win feat on two separate occasions. Prior to these two victories on Swiss soil, Wiebes had already won on consecutive days during stages 3 and 4 last year. Four other riders have also won two stages back-to-back: Annemiek van Vleuten (stages 7 and 8 in 2022), Charlotte Kool (stages 1 and 2 in 2024, like Wiebes this year), Maëva Squiban (stages 6 and 7 in 2025) and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (stages 8 and 9 in 2025).
3 : ANOTHER LION FOR HER COLLECTION
Thanks to her victory on the streets of Geneva, Lorena Wiebes retains and solidifies her hold on the Yellow Jersey, the third of her career. She has improved upon her performance in the 2022 edition, when the Dutch rider lost the jersey after just one day of racing to her compatriot Marianne Vos. As early as Monday evening, she could equal Kim Le Court-Pienaar, Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney and Demi Vollering, all of whom have worn the Yellow Jersey four times.
19 + 19 : UNRIVALLED DOMINANCE
The Netherlands continues its dominance in the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Thanks to Lorena Wiebes this August, the Dutch have further boosted their tallies of stage wins (19) and Yellow Jerseys (also 19). France is their closest rival in terms of stage wins (5), while Belgium, with six Yellow Jerseys, remains far behind its neighbour in the rankings.
2 : SAME CAST, SAME RESULT
Four years later, these three riders once again found themselves on the podium of a stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, and in the exact same order! On Sunday, winner Lorena Wiebes finished ahead of Elisa Balsamo and Marianne Vos, mirroring the results of stage 5 of the 2022 edition in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. Notably, this marks only the second time in the competition's history that the same three riders have shared the podium. Lorena Wiebes had previously beaten Marianne Vos (2nd) and Lotte Kopecky (3rd) on stage 1 of the 2022 Tour and again on stage 3 in 2023.
36 : HIGH-SPEED DUEL
For the 36th time in their careers, Lorena Wiebes and Elisa Balsamo finished in the top two spots. And for the 30th time, the Dutch rider claimed the victory, compared to six wins for the Italian in this head-to-head scenario. Balsamo is thus the rider who has most frequently finished runner-up to Wiebes, well ahead of Charlotte Kool, who has occupied that position fifteen times.
12 : VOS JOINS VOLLERING
By finishing third in Geneva this Sunday, Marianne Vos reached the podium of a Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift stage for the twelfth time in her career. With three victories (in Provins and Rosheim in 2022, and in Plumelec in 2025), six second-place finishes, and three third-place finishes, the former world champion has drawn level with Demi Vollering, who had overtaken her the previous day by also finishing third in Lausanne. The two Dutch riders now share the record for the most podium finishes in the race.
