Sadly her biggest chance was in Rio where she should have went with the Dutch break but didn't react and stayed with Deignan which was a big mistake. Even 8 years ago it was clear Holland is the team to stick with in these kind of situations.

8 years ago definitely more so than nowadays

Niewiadoma is breaking on the second to last climb

 

Attack by Vollering, with Rooijakkers (who is 2 seconds ahead of her in the GC) in her wheel.

Niewiadoma is not giving up!

Niewiadoma holds on and wins the Tour by...3 seconds?

Just incredible!  Sports Personality of the Year?  Not enough!  Bring back the Monarchy and make her Queen!

Crazy ending yesterday, I hope we could have such suspense for men "Tour de France" next years !

Finally sth epic even for us. I felt for a moment that this is not real....but it was. Yet of course the only thing you can read in our press is that she achieved anything only because....she left Poland. True.

Sure, but she has been riding for Canyon/SRAM for years now, it's quite common in cycling to not be based in one's home country

Yes but i meant that everything is reallly underlined that way here. That if you want to achieve sth you have to leave Poland asap. Don't ask me why but we started to fall in some kind of negative serpentine. Only bitter words from her coach, relatives etc. Not only in her case.
