‘GC could be turned upside down’ – Kasia Niewiadoma ready to defend Tour de France Femmes yellow on Alpe d’Huez

It’s been seven years since Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) won an overall title in a major stage race, but she is mentally and physically prepared to bring home the yellow jersey at the Tour de France Femmes atop Alpe d’Huez on Sunday.

Her most recognisable stage race overall victories are OVO Energy Women’s Tour and Emakumeen Bira, and she has been a consistent contender with podium finishes at the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France Femmes.
