The overall-winning ride. Down +0:49 at the start, she had FDJ shred the bunch on the Montoso, attacked on the final climb to drop van der Breggen and clinch the mountains jersey, then bridged to the leaders and took a 6-second bonus to win the Giro by 30 seconds — completing the women's Grand Tour Triple Crown.

• 15 kmAttacked ~1 km from the top of the Colletto di Brondello to drop van der Breggen
• Took the Colletta di Rossana intermediate-sprint bonus to move into the virtual lead

Won the shortened queen stage with relentless gravel attacks on the Finestre, but could only shake van der Breggen at the line — leaving her +0:49 down going into the final stage. Her second win of the race and the launchpad for the next day's overall-winning raid.

• 2 kmSurged again inside the final 2 km to win the sprint to the makeshift line

Won her first-ever Giro stage with a perfectly executed team plan and a four-up sprint, taking 10 bonus seconds to trim her deficit to van der Breggen to a clean minute. The repeated attacks on the final climb that reduced the group to four were the template for her later race-winning rides.

• Attacked repeatedly on the final climb to reduce the lead group to four, then won the sprint

Started faster than Reusser but faded on the upper slopes, conceding 1:10 to van der Breggen — a deficit she would chase for the rest of the race and ultimately overturn on the final day.

Won the overall, the mountains jersey, and two stages (5 and 8), completing the women's Grand Tour Triple Crown in a single season. Third in the Nevegal TT left her ~1:10 down, and she still trailed van der Breggen by +0:49 going into the final day. Her Stage 9 raid — shredding the bunch on the Montoso through her team, then attacking on the last climb to drop van der Breggen and bridging to the leaders, plus a 6-second intermediate bonus — flipped the deficit into a 30-second overall win. The decisive ride of the race.

• Won Stage 5 (Santo Stefano di Cadore) four-up sprint for her first Giro stage
• Won the shortened Stage 8 queen stage on the Colle delle Finestre
• 15 kmAttacked on Stage 9's final climb, dropped van der Breggen, and won the Giro

Vollering produced the defining ride of the women's spring. After FDJ massed at the front, she attacked on the Côte de la Redoute about 34-35 km out and dropped everyone instantly, cresting around 10 seconds clear and doubling the gap on the climb to Cornémont. She rode a measured 35 km solo, topping the Roche-aux-Faucons roughly 1:10 ahead and extending to win by 1:29. It was her record third Liège-Bastogne-Liège, an Ardennes double with Flèche Wallonne, and her fourth one-day victory of a season that also delivered Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and the Tour of Flanders.

• 34 kmAttacked on the Côte de la Redoute and immediately dropped all rivals
• 30 kmDoubled her lead on the rise to Cornémont
• 13 kmCrested the Roche-aux-Faucons about 1:10 clear of the chase

Vollering won the Mur de Huy the hard way. Rather than wait for the traditional late kick, she moved to the front from the foot of the final climb and steadily wound up the pace, shredding the front group of around twenty. On the steepest pitch she opened a ten-metre gap and, although Pieterse's late charge brought the defending champion back onto her wheel, Vollering held on for victory — same time but never headed. It was her second Flèche Wallonne after 2023 and the first half of an Ardennes double sealed four days later with a record third Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

• 1 kmTook the front from the foot of the final Mur de Huy and lifted the pace early
• 0.5 kmAccelerated on the steepest section to open a decisive ten-metre gap

Won her first Tour of Flanders with a long-range solo, attacking from the bottom of the final Oude Kwaremont with about 18 km to go and never being seen again. The gap opened instantly and grew over the Paterberg; she crossed in Oudenaarde 42 seconds clear. After winning here as Kopecky's rival for the first time, it was the missing Monument on a palmarès already full of one-day and stage-race wins.

• 18 kmAttacked from the foot of the final Oude Kwaremont, dropped the lead group
• 12 kmStretched the lead toward 30 seconds over the Paterberg
• Solo into Oudenaarde, 42 seconds ahead

The most aggressive of the favourites — she lit the race up on the Eikenberg with an early split, then bridged to Reusser's flat attack to form the winning duo and shared the work to build the gap. She appeared well placed entering the two-up sprint but was edged on the line by the narrowest of margins, a frustrating near-miss in a finale she had done much to shape.

• 30 kmFirst meaningful split, attacking on the Eikenberg
• 12 kmBridged to Reusser to form the leading duo
• Beaten by Reusser in the photo-finish sprint for the win

Vollering opened her classics season in style. Shepherded to the front by an FDJ team that controlled the Muur, she went clear over the top with Niewiadoma as Franziska Koch's tempo blew the race apart. The reigning European champion cooperated over the Bosberg and through the run-in, then won the two-up sprint in Ninove decisively for her first Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, a statement first win of the cobbled spring.

• 18 kmWent clear over the Muur van Geraardsbergen with Niewiadoma after Koch's pace-setting
• Won the two-up sprint in Ninove

Closed the race the way she opened it. Vollering forced the selection on the final climb, went clear over the top, then out-sprinted the regrouped five-rider front group in Valencia to win the stage and the overall. A wire-to-wire victory in her season opener, with both stage wins to her name.

• Attacked over the day's main climb, going clear with one rider
• 15 kmAbsorbed the bridging trio to form a five-rider lead group
• Won the group sprint in Valencia to seal the GC

Rode a controlled defensive day, staying out of trouble in the front group on the flat run-in to Vila-Real and keeping the leader's jersey intact ahead of the scheduled summit-finish queen stage.

• Finished safely in the front group to retain the overall lead

Dominant from the first climb. Vollering's 20 km Barx solo on Stage 1 won the leader's jersey, and once the queen stage was cancelled she controlled the race comfortably, sealing it with a second win in the Stage 4 group sprint in Valencia. Two stages and the overall in her season opener.

• Soloed the final ~18.7 km of Stage 1 to win and take the lead
• Won the Stage 4 group sprint in Valencia to seal the GC

A textbook season-opener. After her FDJ team softened the bunch on the Alt de Barx, Vollering attacked over the top, shed Niedermaier when the cooperation broke down, and rode the final ~18.7 km solo to win alone and take the leader's jersey. The same Barx blow she has used here before, executed cleanly on day one.

• Attacked on the Alt de Barx (~6 km climb, summit ~20 km out), going clear with Niedermaier
• Attacked again with ~18.7 km to go, dropped Niedermaier, soloed to the win
