TdF coming in hot! With the men’s race just days away, the countdown to @letourfemmes is on, with @kasianiewiadoma94 in characteristically optimistic spirits. We recently had the pleasure to share a coffee and a short spin with her on our home roads in Girona… “Life has been treating me really well! Reflecting on the season so far, it was nice to have a little mid season break after the spring campaign, which was really long for me this season. I tried to disconnect from the cycling world yet it was somehow difficult as there are still important goals ahead of me and knowing that I didn’t achieve what I wanted in the first part of the season really kept me “awake”. Spring classics were beautiful yet not very rewarding for me I would say. Sometimes I would miss a bit of luck, sometimes I would miss fresh legs in the final moments, and even though I thought I was really well prepared, the level has gone up so drastically that it wasn’t enough for the win. The big goal for this year is TdF. I like preparing for stage races as you have enough time to go for a training camp and focus on the training that you don’t really do once the season starts with all the classics. I don’t feel any sort of pressure or stress that comes with the TdF, I just focus on the work I need to do in order to be one of the strongest in the mountains. It's definitely a journey that in my case starts after classics, that’s when you make a shift in your training and together with your coach you analyse the course and create a training plan to be as prepared as possible. From a team side we dedicate the time to go to France and do the stage recons so with all that you gain confidence and a calm mind that allows you to race to your best. I do definitely believe that this year’s edition will bring another big wave of buzz and positive impact on women’s cycling. At the end of the day it's the Tour de France and this race is the most iconic, the most loved by fans, the most desired to win so naturally people talk about it more and more, making it even more special. I love the idea that little girls can watch “bigger” girls on TV and start to dream to be just like us, because they can!”

Wow! We had so much fun racing today! Went for every Opportunity that would arise throughout the race! Gave my best out there trying to move up to a podium spot, started by contra attack and bringed across to @tiffanycromwell who perfectly lead me out to the bottom of the climb! Amazing timing and great team work 😍 Finished 2nd on the stage and lost just 7s to that 3rd place in GC! Enjoyed racing in 🇨🇭to the fullest! Great course and the atmosphere ! Also our rocket @elise_chabbey finished the race in mountain point jersey 😍 @agnieszkaskalniak and @paulienarooijakkers rode harder then ever and supported us from the start ♥️🤍 Thanks for the immense support everybody !💥

Top 10 in 🇨🇭 today! Wished for more but at same happy with the result for the time I spending riding and racing this bike:) Definitely there is still plenty of work ahead of me before #tdffemmes but I’m more than motivated to improve every second that could be gained! Aaaaand to keep that head down 😅 Top 10 w #tourdesuisse ! Nie ukrywam, liczyłam na troszkę więcej jednak z drugiej strony tez wiem, że to dopiero początek moich przygotowań na rowerze czasowym przed #tdffemmes Sporo elementów do poprawienia:) aaale z odpowiednią motywacją wszystko można :) 📸 @thomas_maheux

Last time I raced ITT was in 2021.. long time no see @canyon beauty but I’m beyond excited to see where am I at in this bunch of cool chicas! @tourdesuisse_official Start time 12:13💥 Ostatni raz czasóweczkę w 2021 roku jechałam.. mam nadzieję, że nie zapomniałam jak to jest walczyć z czasem:) jutro start o 12:13! Dam z siebie wszystko 💥 📸 @thomas_maheux

Time to get race ready again!!! Had such a restful couple of weeks filled with happiness tranquility and some #tdf route reconing days with my @wmncycling Spring racing is always intense and you only realize that once you take few days off and allow yourself to slow down:) Together with @nate_wilson329 we started #tdffemmes preparation with some altitude days followed by 🇫🇷 trip and heat adaptation rides. There is still some work we need to do before I reach my best shape but it already feels good riding long mountains. I’m heading to 🇨🇭 for #tourdesuissewomen this week for some hard racing and then back to #andorra for mountain quality time ♥️ 📸 @thomas_maheux

When I ask @taylorphinney to take some photos of our new baby car #skodapolska but he moves too much and I talk too much… so here is the final result 😅 @skodapolska 🤍 Really enjoyed our stay in the mountains ! I love how small and insignificant they make me feel, how all the worries and all the tension disappear with every pedal stroke through insanely beautiful pases! It’s time to go down, breathe thicker air and reunite with my @wmncycling team for @letourfemmes recon 💛 #skoda #skodaenyaq #ev #mountains #altitudecamp #exploreyourneighborhood #cycling #outsideisfree #skodaclub #lovemycar

Little Mountain photo dump🎈💥 Weather wasn’t spoiling me so far 🌧️yet with #skodapolska I could find a little bit of sun 👌🏻 Trochę zdjęć z ostatnich kilku dni w Andorze! Warunki jeszcze zimowe na szczycie gór więc ja razem z #skodapolska szukam słońca i suchych dróg 😃 3godzinki zrobione 🤟 #andorra #altitude #skoda #cycling #trainingcamp #smilesformiles #bewhoyouare #mycanyon #eTapAXS #gozwift #makeyoufaster #liveforthis
