A story of two American Olympic champions 40 years aside


A beaming Canyon-SRAM rider hoists her yellow bike within the air on the summit of the enduring Alpe d’Huez in entrance of ecstatic followers. It has been an arduous 150km, racing from Le Grand-Bornand to the well-known ski resort within the valley of Les Grandes Rousses, by way of the interminable Col du Glandon. However Canyon-SRAM’s Kasia Niewiadoma is overjoyed and emotional to find that she is the winner of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift – by simply 4 seconds – from her nearest rival, and former race chief, Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime). 

This reversal of fortunes within the Polish rider’s favour had come when Vollering was sadly concerned in a pile-up in the course of the latter a part of Stage 5, and an error in group ways left her remoted, subsequently haemorrhaging over a minute in her normal classification bid.
