Defending Tour de France Femmes champion Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney may not have climbed onto the top step of the podium again in Châtel on Sunday evening, but she was more than happy to take part in the post-race ceremony for the fourth year in a row.
Niewiadoma-Phinney has finished on the final podium in each of the four editions of the revived race, scoring three third places to go with her nail-biting overall victory atop L'Alpe d'Huez last summer.
