is already looking forward to next year\u2019s race.<\/p>\n<p>The Canyon-SRAM rider eventually finished third on the final stage in Nice, ceding even more time to eventual winner Demi Vollering (FDJ United-SUEZ), but she put up a tenacious fight trying to take a second edition of the race she won in 2024.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-1cb25106-9416-11f1-ab3f-1d7d56ff2da6-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
