The Press Room Cycling Podcast

In episodes 121 and #5 of the Watch the Femmes series, we welcome Kasia Niewadoma on to the TPR Podcast.

Kasia and I discussed how she deals with internal pressures, especially after experiencing numerous near misses and podium finishes in recent years. We explored the changes Kasia made in her training that led to her successful 2024 season, culminating in a significant victory at Amstel Gold.

We also chat about the Tour de France Femmes and get her thoughts on the stage win versus GC podium dilemma, what the race may look like in 20 years, and what the race needs that it is missing now.

There is plenty in this episode that will help you get to know and love the star that is Kasia Niewadoma.
