Reigning Tour de France Femmes champion Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) is well back in the mix for the GC again this July after making the elite selection on a hilly stage 5 into Guéret on Wednesday. However, the Pole had one regret from the stage after finishing fourth in the lead group of seven.
Niewiadoma-Phinney had been among the strongest on the final climb of the day, the third-category Le Maupuy, to land two bonus seconds, but she had less luck in the closing sprint.
