Demi Vollering of FDJ United-Suez storms to victory in stage 8 of the Giro d'Italia Women, showcasing her power on the challenging gravel sector of Colle delle Finestre. This victory marks her second stage win of the race, solidifying her status as a top contender.
The stage was notably shortened due to an avalanche, presenting a hazardous descent from the climb. Despite the conditions, Vollering outsprints Isabella Holmgren of Lidl-Trek and Antonia Niedermaier from Canyon-SRAM, finishing just shy of the summit.
