Tactical Masterclasses and the Fight for the Maillot Jaune
The General Classification (GC) standings remained highly volatile throughout the final weekend, culminating in an epic mountain showdown. Katarzyna Niewiadoma of Canyon//SRAM Racing successfully defended her position against relentless attacks from SD Worx-Protime star Demi Vollering. Vollering's aggressive climbing on the final mountain passes shook up the virtual standings, but Niewiadoma's precise descending and defensive riding secured her spot at the top of the podium.
This year's route pushed riders to their physical limits, featuring legendary alpine ascents that tested team depth. Domestiques played a crucial role in managing tempo and chasing down dangerous breakaways, proving that individual glory in the standings is always a collective team effort. The narrow gap between the top three riders highlights the skyrocketing depth of talent within the UCI Women’s WorldTour.

- Young Rider Classification (White Jersey): This category showcased the future of women's cycling, featuring riders under 23 who managed to stay competitive with veteran GC contenders.
