Niewiadoma wins women’s Tour de France by 4 seconds overall after Alpe d’Huez thriller

Associated Press  

ALPE D’HUEZ, France — Polish rider Kasia Niewiadoma did just enough in a thrilling battle Sunday with rival Demi Vollering on the iconic Alpe d’Huez to win the women’s Tour de France by four seconds overall. Knowing she still trailed Niewiadoma overall, Vollering had been part of a breakaway Sunday with fellow Dutch rider Pauliena Rooijakkers earlier in the race. But the gap wasn’t quite enough as Niewiadoma finished fourth to narrowly clinch her first Tour title, with an overall time of 24 hours, 36 minutes, 7 seconds. “It’s really painful to know that I did not do enough today.” Rooijakkers, also a title contender, finished third in the overall standings at only 10 seconds behind Niewiadoma.
