Numbers, curiosities and statistics help us re-read and delve deeper into what we experienced in yesterday's stage and over the last three weeks. Follow us:


6: THE WOMAN OF THE TOUR
With her victory on Saturday in Lausanne on top of the Côte Saint-François (2.6 km at 4.6%), covered at an average speed of 32.4 km/h, Lorena Wiebes claimed her sixth stage victory of her career at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, and her fourth in SD Worx - Protime colours. The Dutch sprinter, who also achieved her 132nd professional victory, opened her palmares in 2022 on the Champs-Élysées in Paris... already on the first stage! The first cyclist to raise her arms to the sky twice on the opening day of the Grande Boucle, Wiebes has won at least one stage in four of the five editions. Missing from her collection are only the stages from the 2024 Tour...


11: GRAND TOURS FIT HER LIKE A GLOVE
With her victory in Lausanne, Lorena Wiebes secured her eleventh Grand Tour victory of her career. With six victories at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and five at the Giro d'Italia, but still none at the Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es, the former European champion matches the records of Demi Vollering (3 at the Tour, 2 at the Giro, 6 at the Vuelta) and Diana Ziliute (all at the Giro).

11: SUCCESS IS AT HOME HERE
Thanks to Lorena Wiebes' victory, the SD Worx - Protime team secured their eleventh stage victory in the history of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. In addition to Wiebes' four victories (one in 2023, two in 2025 and one in 2026), the Dutch team could count on the successes of Swiss cyclist Marlen Reusser (stage 4 in 2022 and stage 8 in 2023), Lotte Kopecky (stage 1 in 2023), Demi Vollering (stage 7 in 2023, stages 3 and 8 in 2024) and Blanka Vas (stage 5 in 2024). SD Worx – Protime further consolidates its position as the most prolific team in the race, easily ahead of Visma - Lease a Bike (5 victories), Picnic - PostNL and Movistar (4).

2 + 9: YELLOW AND GREEN
After already wearing the Yellow Jersey at the end of the opening stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2022, Lorena Wiebes repeated the feat yesterday, claiming the leader's jersey for the second time. These are the only two occasions in her career when the Dutch sprinter has led a Grand Tour. Excelling in her specialty as a sprinter, Wiebes also secured her ninth Green Jersey on the road at the Tour. In doing so, she narrows the gap to Marianne Vos, who has collected twelve, and moves ahead of Lotte Kopecky (8) and Charlotte Kool (5).

18 + 18: THE NETHERLANDS, WHAT DOMINANCE!
The Netherlands continues its winning streak in women's cycling and at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. With Lorena Wiebes' victory in Lausanne, the "land of tulips" has collected eighteen victories in the Grande Boucle in just thirty-four stages... a success rate of approximately 53%! This figure rises even further if you consider the opening stages, with four victories in five editions. Wiebes had already celebrated a victory in Paris in 2022, a feat later matched by Charlotte Kool in The Hague (2024) and Marianne Vos in Plumelec (2025). The Netherlands also boasts eighteen yellow jerseys, worn by Marianne Vos (holder of the record with 8), Demi Vollering (4), Charlotte Kool, Annemiek van Vleuten and Lorena Wiebes (2).

12: CONSISTENCY OF PERFORMANCE
Third on top of the Côte Saint-François, Demi Vollering became the first cyclist to stand on the podium twelve times in the stages of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. With three victories (at Col du Tourmalet in 2023, in Rotterdam and at Alpe d'Huez in 2024), seven second places and two third places, the European champion surpasses her Dutch compatriot Marianne Vos, who has achieved eleven podiums.

1: BLUE-WHITE-RED (WITH POLKA DOTS)
By leading the first two climbs of the day, including the Côte de Villars-le-Comte (4 km at 5.8%) covered at an average speed of 19.2 km/h, Océane Mahé became the first French cyclist to wear the polka dot jersey at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift since 2022. The Ma Petite Entreprise team cyclist is also the thirteenth to claim the jersey since Femke Markus won it that year. It is the jersey that has changed hands most frequently, with ten cyclists wearing the white jersey, nine the yellow and four the green.
