In the finale of stage 2 of the Tour de Romandie Féminin, Kasia Niewiadoma was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She was the only one able to follow the pace of Demi Vollering on the finishing climb to Torgon.
Over the last kilometres, Vollering did not push anymore, wanting her teammate Marlen Reusser to come back. However, Niewiadoma took over and ended up pulling Vollering to the finish line, where the SD Worx rider sprinted to the stage victory and GC lead. After the finish, Vollering even apologised to Niewiadoma.
"I don’t have the easy answer for it. I wasn’t stoked to be sandwiched by SD Worx again but if I stopped riding, I don’t believe Marlen or Demi would start pulling for me," Niewiadoma explained.
"They would attack me one by one. I have been in that situation before. The final 2km were not steep enough to try to drop Demi from my wheel," Niewiadoma concludes.
