"My big goal is to become a first woman who wins twice in a row" - Kasia Niewiadoma unveils yellow ambitions for 2025 Tour de France Femmes

Last time around, Katarzyna Niewiadoma came around to become the Tour de France Femmes a bit by a coincidence. Despite putting in a hell of a performance, her overall victory must be attributed to main favourite Demi Vollering's time loss in relatively easy fifth stage. This casts a bit of a shadow of doubt on the Polish riders' triumph. However Kasia is determined to prove speculators wrong by going back-to-back at the French Grand Tour. At least that's the plan.
"I’m excited to see the course and understand what to work on," she said to Velo, responding to Tuesday’s route launch in Paris. "It’s a goal to bring the yellow jersey home again. My big goal is to become a woman who wins the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift twice in a row, and I’m in the best position right now to make that happen in 2025."
"It’s nice to see the diversity of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift route," she said, analyzing the course unveiled on Tuesday. "There are a lot of opportunities for different types of riders. I believe the first stage can suit our team quite well, looking at the little uphill finish. We can be excited to aim for the first yellow jersey of the tour with one of my teammates."
"Overall, I was guessing that we might have had longer and harder stages every day but instead, there is a mix," she said. "Jokingly, I’m a little sad not to see a team time trial, as I was somehow expecting and looking forward to that. But the Col du Madeleine will make us suffer enough, so the earlier short stages might balance things out."
"I like the 2025 course overall," Niewiadoma said. "The final general classification can unfold at any point but the final three stages will be decisive for the overall."

- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- 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
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- 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

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
