She may have attacked too soon on the final climb of Fleche Wallonne, but it can’t be denied that Demi Vollering (SD Worx) had the legs to get to the top all alone. After looking back to make sure no one was closing on her (it has happened to some whom celebrated too soon) she began her celebrations a good 25 meters from the line. I was struck by her simple act of removing her sunglasses, part in glee, and part to make sure we saw her face in all of the photos shot as she crossed the line alone. She becomes only the 11th woman to win the now 23 year old Fleche Wallonne Femmes. Chapeau!
