Lagos de Covadonga, May 7th 2023 – Nine seconds. SD Worx’s Demi Vollering was just nine seconds shy of winning La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es atop the Lagos de Covadonga, as she dropped race leader Annemiek van Vleuten with more than 5 kilometers to go and managed to reach the summit of the iconic Asturian climb in victory, 56” ahead of her rival. The Movistar Team rider, however, deployed an extraordinary amount of suffering to defend her lead and bring the Red jersey home. 3rd overall and QOM winner is Trek-Segafredo’s Gaia Realini, who kept Vollering company for most of the climb to the Lagos de Covadonga and was 2nd at its summit. What an exciting finale for an exciting first edition of La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es.
