Avec l'Aspin et le Tourmalet à gravir ce samedi, les favorites du Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift avaient un terrain de jeu idéal pour s'expliquer. La grande bagarre attendue a bien eu lieu, et c'est Demi Vollering qui s'est montrée la plus forte lors de cette 7e étape ! Passée à l'action à 5,5 kilomètres de l'arrivée au sommet du Tourmalet, la Néerlandaise de la Team SD Worx a immédiatement distancé toutes ses rivales, impuissantes face à la force de la numéro un mondiale, et s'est imposée dans le brouillard. La deuxième de l'édition 2022 a créé des écarts abyssaux puisque sa dauphine, la Polonaise Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon // SRAM Racing), a franchi la ligne 1'58" après elle !

00:00 I need to realize this first I think this was amazing I mean so many people
00:11 on the side of the road I saw my family I saw my friends they gave me a lot of
00:19 strength today also Lotte knowing that she was behind me the whole time was
00:24 amazing what a year for you after the classics are you living a dream this
00:29 year sorry what a year for you after the classic are you living a dream I think
00:34 so it's just amazing I mean you said dreams you make goals for them and then
00:48 yeah you get a bit nervous before but I have my team behind me and they they
00:54 they believe so much in me and that helps so much I mean this morning I was
01:00 a bit nervous and then like the whole team said okay Damie you're already so
01:05 strong this whole season you can do this and yeah they really keep me calm and
01:10 that's just so nice they they're like very important for me and also yeah it's
01:19 already the whole season it's just amazing and I don't know how I do it but
01:24 it's incredible can you speak also about your tactic today because we saw you
01:29 playing a bit with anemic until the last case yes on the meekment already full
01:33 gas on the cold ass pin and yeah I mean I felt that I was good but I saw no
01:41 point of attacking there already it was so early and yeah then she left a gap on
01:48 Cassie on the downhill and then I thought yeah it's not up to me to close
01:52 it now I mean I have lots of Marlon behind me so they could come back and
01:56 that was actually perfect for me because then Marlon set a really nice pace and
02:01 yeah lots I just could hang on the whole time and then it's still not up to me to
02:07 attack I mean they also need to get rid of the yellow jersey and at one point
02:12 Anna told me in the radio to go to make myself ready and then I just went full
02:18 gas for it and I never looked back and then I heard already pretty fast that
02:23 although that I'll take gap and yeah I did not believe that it was getting so
02:31 fast so big and yeah I just kept on pushing and I felt actually great so
02:37 yeah the good legs were perfect in time because the beginning of the tour was
02:42 yeah I'm not the other but the best best legs for my feeling also it was so hard
02:48 the whole time every day but today I felt super good and super strong and
02:53 yeah that was super nice. Demi, how does it feel to wear this amazing yellow jersey?
02:58 yeah it's amazing I mean I saw that already a lot of times in my dreams of
03:05 course but to wear it now in real life feels really good. You have a one minute
03:10 50 margin on Cachani-Verdoma, do you feel like really close to the absolute
03:15 dream? Yes I mean tomorrow is still a hard day, a time trial day so yeah of course if
03:21 everything goes well there then I hope I can keep the yellow. Tomorrow will you
03:25 ride this TT a bit more safely than expected? I mean I will still be go
03:33 full gas I will still do a good TT also because it's a good training of course
03:39 and also to see how I can still do after today. It's also interesting of
03:46 course to see how far you can come and how deep you can still go after today
03:51 it's all good to know that already for the future. The yellow jersey stay in
03:56 Hesdy-Werch, one word maybe about the crazy stage of your teammates especially
04:01 Marlène and Lotte? Yeah they're amazing I mean Marlène and Lotte they did a
04:07 really good job today but the whole team I mean everybody is so so super strong
04:13 in our team and they believe so much in me so that means a lot to me.
04:17 The cherry on the cake would be a victory of Marlène tomorrow on the TT?
04:22 Yes yes that will be amazing if she can win the TT that's of course nice then
04:27 then we have a really really good Tour de France so far and yeah I mean it's a
04:35 crazy week for us and actually I would I would like to ask one thing for the
04:40 organization to also put a kind of a chance lycee stage in so that we can
04:46 also enjoy with the team because tomorrow we will be full gas with the
04:50 whole team still on the TT but it will be so nice if we can celebrate with the
04:54 whole team this jersey, Lotte her jersey I mean that would be crazy crazy amazing
05:00 if we can also do like the men a celebration in the end.
