“I didn’t panic too much”, euphemizes Demi Vollering, the world number 1, who shredded the Tour de Suisse, yellow jersey, three stage successes out of four, including the last, in the sprint, contested Tuesday around Champagne, in the Jura Nord-Vaudois district. After the Tour of Spain and the Tour of the Basque Country this season, after the Tour de France last year, the Flemish cyclist persists in a certain idea of flawless performance. Facing her, the Swiss time trial champion, Elena Hartmann, condenses collective fatalism: “You can always try to beat her, there is nothing to do. Even tactically, we have little room for maneuver. The question is not whether Vollering will win but how many minutes in advance!” Answer: 1 minute 28 in the general classification ahead of the Australian Neve Bradbury and 1’30” ahead of the Italian Elisa Longo Borghini.
