00:12I'm the first Mexican rider in the modern Tour de France Femmes.
00:20I remember watching this race in 2022 when it started and I said, I want to be there.
00:25And now here I am. So honestly, it's an honor. And it's a dream.
00:40And now we want to see the dance moves of Romina. Come on, let's go.
00:46Do not put this in the internet, please.
00:54Overall, for me, it's been an experience, a lot of learning, a lot of good moments and also some tough
01:02ones.
01:16But I'm at the Tour de France. It's a fight. Nobody said it would be easy.
01:28Do you fear the Mont Ventoux? Do you know this monster or not?
01:31No, I don't. I'm going to meet it today.
01:33Do you fear it?
01:35No, I don't fear anything. I'm kidding. No, I don't fear it. I just, I know it's going to be
01:39hard, but it's the Tour de France. It's supposed to be like this.
01:51I really back Mexican cyclists a lot because I think we're fighting for a space that we deserve.
01:57We need more visibility and wealth. I see the new generations breaking through the mountains, climbing and suffering.
02:04It's something really, really motivating.
02:20I want to inspire future generations and, well, seeing someone give up isn't an image I want to send out.
02:29A lot of people come here to support me and come to watch me and you'll see, whether it's last
02:35place or not, I'm going to finish this race with a smile.
02:53We had Furniss, the main hub of action on the final weekend after the toughest stage comes the longest to
02:59the Côte d'Azur.
03:00How much would yesterday affect the finale of the penultimate stage, if it was as captivating as the scenery, we're
03:07in for another treat.
03:13Yet the defending champion taking no further part, 14 minutes down, Pauline Ferrand-Prévost abandoning through illness.
03:22Well, had it not been post-202, maybe more would have kicked on, almost three escapes, but Morgan Coston chased
03:29and failed to successfully hunt the potato.
03:32Mavis Kibane and Loïs Adagès left to build a six-minute lead as they crossed over the Côte d'Azur.
03:42Mavis Kibane and Loïs Adagès left to build a seven-minute lead as they crossed over the Côte d'Azur.
03:57Mavis Kibane and Loïs Adagès left to build a seven-minute lead as they crossed over the Côte d'Azur.
04:09Nice edging closer with every pedal stroke as the intermediate sprint arrives.
04:13Adagès leading Skibane across, while Esti work set up Loreno Vibas for 17 points left for third,
04:20within touching distance of securing the green jersey.
04:30Gap cycle. Gap cycles.
04:37With 20 kilometers to go, the peloton hit the accelerator, the gap tumbling violently to put the breakaway's resistance under
04:45the microscope on the first of the last two climbs of the day.
04:50cut.
04:51This is the Côte d'Azur and it's Mavis Kibane who goes over the top with Loïs Adagès.
04:57The gap is 1'01".
05:05I fear that Mavis Kibane may well have to come to a halt here and have the doctor look at
05:11her.
05:13The French rider soon caught only Adahest was left
05:17Francisca Koch setting a phenomenal pace to put everyone in a world of pain
05:21FDJ United Suez reeling in the Lidltrek rider
05:25but also testing Niwa Doma Fini after her Ventoux heroics
05:30Adahest succumbed but only after setting the longest breakaway in the Tour's history
05:35136km making the vote for combative of the day easy
05:39Celine Geri took over the demolition job to lead Demi Vollerin over the top
05:43as they hit the final wall before Nice
05:45450m at 14% average
05:47no better time to launch a scintillating attack
05:56And look at Vollerin goes now
05:58Demi Vollerin attacks straight onto the climb
06:01and Kashia Niwa Doma is sprinting
06:04so is Elisa Longoburghini
06:06Vollerin has gone absolutely flying up the initial ramps of this climb
06:11this rider didn't like to be beaten yesterday
06:14now she's defiant
06:15but look at Longoburghini and Kashia Niwa Doma are going to bring her back
06:20Two concurrents in front of Longoburghini and Longoburghini with a little bit of an advance
06:24on the Maezone of Yadoma which is not in the back
06:28look at this now it is rider against rider to the top of this climb
06:33on this brutal rise that gets up to 17%
06:37Vollerin is knocking blows now against these other two contenders
06:43Longoburghini starting to struggle
06:45Niwa Doma Fini though is going shoulder to shoulder
06:48these gradients of 17%
06:52Niwa Doma Fini she just needs to hang on
06:54she's almost at the top
06:56she's cracking now the yellow jersey starts to crack
06:59just towards the top of the climb
07:02now Longoburghini there
07:04Vollerin goes round the corner
07:06this is where it flattens out
07:08and Longoburghini and Kashia Niwa Doma are there
07:11but Vollerin just got a couple of seconds
07:17Vollerin flying down the descent
07:19but could Niwa Doma Fini work her way back on Longoburghini's wheel
07:26it's now 13 seconds
07:28Demi Vollerin is about to go into the yellow jersey of this Tour de France fam
07:33and Niwa Doma doesn't look like she can even work with Longoburghini now
07:39this morning I suddenly realised
07:41like I had a kind of deja vu
07:44that I would take yellow here
07:46but maybe it's true
07:48maybe it was really like how it should be
07:51and I tried to remember myself during the race
07:54that I can do it
07:59and now Vollerin is going to fight back
08:02with one day to go
08:04Demi Vollerin
08:05it is a demolition of everyone

08:27Niwa Doma Fini's head goes down
08:30she knows
08:31the yellow is gone

08:56if you really believe in something
08:58if you really dream big about something
09:01with good people around you
09:03you will make it happen
09:04you just need to have the good people around you
