Biography:
In just three seasons, Demi Vollering rose to the top of the rankings in the Women's WorldTour and developed into one of the most versatile riders in the world, excelling in time trials, hilly one-day races and in the mountains. She was born on November 15, 1996, in Pijnacker, Netherlands and began bike racing in 2015.
Vollering rose to success in professional cycling with the Dutch development team Parkhotel Valkenburg in 2019 and 2020. During her first two years on the European circuit with Parkhotel Valkenburg, Vollering finished third at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, fifth at Flèche Wallonne, and seventh at Amstel Gold Race. She had other top performances such as second overall at Festival Elsy Jacobs, fifth overall at The Women's Tour, 13th overall at the Giro d'Italia Donne and fifth at GP de Plouay. She opened the 2020 season with third overall at Setmana Ciclista Valenciana before the season was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When racing returned for a late-season calendar, she took third at La Course by le Tour de France and Flèche Wallonne and seventh places at Gent-Wevelgem and Tour of Flanders.
These performances secured her a contract with SD Worx in 2021, where she will race through the end of 2024. That first year she surged to the top of the leaderboard at a number of races, including La Course by le Tour de France, The Women's Tour and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. The next year she continued winning ways in one-day and stage races, taking the victory at The Brabantse Pijl, Itzulia Women and mountains classification wins at Tour de France Femmes and Vuelta a Burgos Feminas. She was second overall at the Tour de France Femmes and third overall at the Giro d'Italia Donne.
2023 was nothing but brilliant for the Dutch rider. By season's end she secured first place in the UCI Women's World ranking and WorldTour ranking, and was awarded the Vélo d'Or for women. She amassed major victories across one-day races, stage races and gravel competitions. Vollering's path to the top this season started with the Strade Bianche and Dwars door Vlaanderen wins and was made crystal clear with her Ardennes Classics clean sweep. Then if any more convincing was required, she delivered an emphatic victory at the Tour de France Femmes. She placed third at the UCI Gravel World Championships.
