Von Kl Redaktion

Alpe d’Huez was the scene of a dramatic final of the Tour de France of women last weekend, which remains unforgettable for many. The Polish cyclist Katarzyna Niewiadoma triumphed in an exciting bike race over 949.7 kilometers. Although Demi full ring showed an impressive performance at the final stage on the famous climb, it was not enough to defend the title. Instead, Niewiadoma pushed on the top podium of the overall ranking with a lead of the Dutch.

The decision was made at the last stage, which led over 149.9 kilometers and brought the drivers to the legendary serpentines of Alpe d’Huez. Full ring and her compatriot Pauliena Rooijakkers fought an exciting duel, while Niewiadoma, who finally arrived as fourth, put everything on one card. She fought with full commitment to reduce her deficit, but the lead she had driven out on this stage was enough to secure her overall victory.

full ring and the mass crash

A crucial moment in this tour was the mass fall that occurred on the fifth stage. Volling was affected only a few kilometers before the finish and lost valuable time - a total of 1:19 minutes on Niewiadoma. These minute and 19 seconds were crucial for the outcome of the race and could no longer be caught up by Volling in the course of the tour. The excitement around this incident runs through the reporting on the tour and illustrates how quickly it can be done in cycling.

The winner of the race, Katarzyna Niewiadoma, was overwhelmed by emotions after her stage victory. She spoke about the roller coaster trips, both in the race and in the moments of the triumph. "To be honest, it's crazy. The whole stage was a crazy roller coaster ride," said the 29-year-old crying at the finish line. Her joy over the victory was reflected in the tears that she could not hold back. For the first time, she becomes the winner of the Tour de France of women in her career. Your path to success is another sign of hard competition in international cycling, especially in women's cycling.

Another step for women's cycling
