'The yellow jersey is out of reach' – Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney says 'best effort of my life' on Col de la Madeleine not enough to win second Tour de France Femmes

Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon-Sram Zondacrypto) has admitted that winning a second consecutive title at the Tour de France Femmes is not going to happen after she was distanced on the Col de la Madeleine and dropped to fourth overall in the overall classification ahead of the finale on Sunday.

However, she says that she is still motivated to stand on the overall podium, indicating that she would try to find a way to surpass either Sarah Gigante (AG Insurance-Soudal) or Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez), who are both positioned behind overall leader Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma-Lease a Bike).
