Kasia Niewiadoma Criticizes FDJ United – Suez Team After Losing Yellow Jersey

Kasia Niewiadoma, the overnight leader, has criticized the FDJ United – Suez team after losing the yellow jersey at the Tour de France Femmes. She fell behind Demi Vollering during the final climb of stage 8, finishing 17 seconds later and losing her lead due to a time bonus.

Niewiadoma expressed her frustration, alleging that Celia Géry intentionally blocked her against the barriers, forcing her to stop pedaling. She described the actions as childish and stated that she has lost all respect for the team.

Footage captured by Wielerflits shows Niewiadoma confronting Géry about the incident. Despite the setback, Niewiadoma remains determined to reclaim the yellow jersey, although the eight-second deficit poses a challenge ahead of the final stage in Nice.
