🇳🇱💛🖤 What a tribute! Powerful post-match unity at Breda following the loss of Mats Seuntjens and his partner Elba's newborn daughter.
Lights dimmed, sparklers lit across the stands, and both teams stood together in emotional support!
"Heaven has one more little star." ✨🙏
What Kasia Niewiadoma produced today is out of this world and it can be considered the greatest performance in women’s cycling history.
She completed the legendary Mont Ventoux climb (15.62km, 8.69% average) in 55’22” at 16.93km/h, 1471 VAM, and an insane 5.34 w/kg which is reported here by @eliott_aime: For the comparison Demi Vollering produced 5.17 w/kg.
Last year Pauline Ferrand-Prévot produced 5.04 W/kg for 64:50 on the Col de la Madeleine during stage 8 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes.
This Niewadoma Ventoux performance in my opinion, also surpasses Vollering’s effort on Mendizorrotz, which was also something out of this world: 6.4 ᵉW/kg for 10:18. But doing 5.3 W/KG for 55 minutes is for me more impressive and it is TOP 1.
Ladies and gentlemen, we witnessed history today. #TDFF2026
Nice touch by Célia Gery @FDJ_SUEZ
The @LeTourFemmes#TDFF2026 printed race number 13 upside down, following cycling tradition.
Gery simply pinned it upside down again, making 13 visible the normal way.
