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 along:
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 her seventh stage victory of her career at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, her fifth in SD Worx - Protime colours. The Dutch sprinter, who boasts 133 professional victories (15 of which 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 the exception of the 2024 Tour.
2 x 2: THE REPETITION
Lorena Wiebes does it again! Just like the day before in Lausanne, the Dutch cyclist raised her arms to the sky in victory at Geneva. Since the race's return in 2022, she has become the first cyclist to achieve a double on two separate occasions. Before these two victories on Swiss soil, Wiebes had already triumphed in two consecutive stages last year, on the third and fourth days. Four other cyclists have won two stages in a row: 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 Geneva victory, Lorena Wiebes maintains and consolidates her yellow jersey, the third of her career. She has improved on her performance from the 2022 edition, when she lost the yellow jersey after just one day of racing to fellow countrywoman Marianne Vos. As early as this evening, she could equal Kim Le Court-Pienaar, Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney and Demi Vollering, all four-time Yellow Jersey winners.
19 + 19: UNSURPASSABLE DOMINANCE
The Netherlands continues to dominate the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Thanks to Lorena Wiebes, Dutch cyclists have further increased their haul of stage victories (19) and Yellow Jerseys (also 19). France is the closest rival in terms of stage wins (5), while Belgium, with six Yellow Jerseys, remains far behind in the standings.
2: SAME TEAM, SAME RESULT
Four years later, these three cyclists found themselves on the podium of a Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift stage once again, in the exact same order! On Sunday, winner Lorena Wiebes was followed by Elisa Balsamo and Marianne Vos, replicating the result from stage five of the 2022 edition in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. It is worth noting that this is only the second time in the competition's history that the same three athletes have shared the podium. Lorena Wiebes had already beaten Marianne Vos (2nd) and Lotte Kopecky (3rd) in the first stage of the 2022 Tour and again in the third stage of 2023.
36: HIGH-SPEED DUEL
For the 36th time in her career, Lorena Wiebes and Elisa Balsamo have finished in the top two positions. And for the thirtieth time, the Dutch cyclist claimed victory, against six wins for the Italian in this direct head-to-head. Balsamo is therefore the cyclist who has most often finished second behind Wiebes, well ahead of Charlotte Kool, who has reached this milestone fifteen times.
12: VOS MATCHES VOLLERING
With third place in Geneva this Sunday, Marianne Vos has 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 matched Demi Vollering, who had surpassed her the day before with a third-place finish in Lausanne. The two Dutch cyclists now share the record for the most podium finishes in the race.
