Demi Vollering Wins Giro d'Italia Women
Demi Vollering won the Giro d'Italia Women, with Lauren Dickson playing a key role in her team's success.
The 2026 Giro d'Italia Women saw Demi Vollering emerge victorious, thanks in part to the efforts of her teammate Lauren Dickson.
Dickson, a 26-year-old from Scotland, only took up road racing in April 2024 and had a breakthrough moment in 2025.
She won the Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix, then joined one of the world's best teams.
Vollering praised Dickson's performance after stage 5, saying "When we bridged to Lauren, she did an amazing job."
Dickson's ability to drop some of the best riders in the world on a brutal stage 5 was a key factor in Vollering's win.
The world champion was full of praise for her teammate, highlighting her impressive debut in a Grand Tour.
Lauren Dickson will now ride the Tour de Suisse, a major Grand Tour event, as she continues to make a name for herself in the cycling world.
Demi Vollering's win at the Giro d'Italia Women marks a significant milestone in her career, with Dickson's support playing a crucial part.
The team's success is a testament to their hard work and dedication, with Vollering and Dickson forming a strong partnership.
Dickson's late entry into the pro peloton has been nothing short of remarkable, with her first race being the JGCC road race in Scotland.
She accidentally entered the open category, which was predominantly male, but has since gone on to achieve great things.
The Tour de Suisse will provide Dickson with another opportunity to showcase her skills and support her teammates.
