[SPOILER] Tour de France Femmes GC results

::: spoiler spoiler Kasia Niewiadoma won the 2024 women’s Tour de France by four seconds, the narrowest margin in the history of either the women’s or men’s race, clinging on to the yellow jersey, despite an Alpine assault from the defending champion, Demi Vollering.

On Saturday afternoon, a defiant Niewiadoma had said: “I lost four seconds, so that’s nothing,” after Vollering had picked up that much via time bonus. Twenty-four hours later, though, for the Pole and her Canyon-SRAM team, four precious seconds at the top of Alpe d’Huez meant everything.

“Four seconds seem to be magical now,” she said. “Throughout my whole career there were so many times I missed out on victories. I feel like this week was perfect for me and my team. To be able to win big races, you need everything on your side.” :::
