Demi Vollering

Netherlands / FDJ–Suez

It All Starts with Dreaming

For Demi, these words are more than a mantra—they’re a way of life. From growing up in her family’s flower greenhouses to becoming one of the most dominant forces in women’s cycling, Demi has always chased bold dreams.

She once juggled cycling, speed skating, and floral design. But in 2018, she went all-in on the bike—and the results have been electrifying, including multiple Grand Tours and Monuments.

In 2024, Demi delivered one of the most iconic comebacks in Tour history—winning on Alpe d’Huez just days after crashing out of yellow, and finishing a mere four seconds from overall victory, the closest margin ever.

Now riding for FDJ–Suez, Demi begins a bold new chapter with Specialized. Off the bike, she’s fighting for visibility, opportunity, and the next generation of female dreamers. We’re proud to ride alongside her.

Demi Vollering, on her favourite Specialized product

“For me, it’s hands down my new Tarmac paired with speedy Roval wheels. From the first moment you get on that bike, you just feel fast. Top it off with my new signature edition—it’s just a dream to ride."

Demi’s Ride on the Tour

Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, and ride quality previously thought impossible.
