Un pianto a dirotto, liberatorio, per Kasia Niewiadoma all’arrivo #StradeBiancheWomen

For the ninth time in ten years, Katarzyna Niewiadoma has secured a top-10 finish at Strade Bianche Donne. Sadly for the Canyon//SRAM Racing star however, her wait for victory goes on.
Entering this year's edition of the race as the Gravel World Champion, Niewiadoma, a three-time runner-up at Strade Bianche Donne in the past will have felt reasonably confident of finally managing to add the victory to her palmares.
Despite a heroic effort though, Niewiadoma was eventually forced to settle for fourth place on the day after narrowly being outsprinted in the battle for the final step on the podium by Team SD Worx-Protime's Demi Vollering after Lotte Kopecky had taken the win ahead of Elisa Longo Borghini.
After crossing the line, the emotions of yet another near-miss overcame Niewiadoma and the 29-year-old Pole heartbreakingly broke down in tears. Nevertheless, another immense performance that she should be incredibly proud of.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024

- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
