Ahead of the queen stage of the Tour de France Femmes on Saturday, 2024 Tour winner Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) took note that her rivals didn't go all-out on Col du Granier to the finish on stage 7.
Any opportunities for GC riders to use the climb, or ascent, to make moves never materialised, the defending champion saying riders seemed to be conservative with the Col de la Madeleine on the menu Saturday.
