Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) has a love-hate relationship with the Strade Bianche. She is the most consistent rider in the history of the women's race, never placing lower than ninth in the nine editions she finished before this year.
She was one of the pre-race favourites but missed out on the victory once again, crossing the line in second place behind Elise Chabbey (FDJ United Suez) after a hard and fast race that came down to cornering decisions in the narrow streets of Siena.
