Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) has now finished in the top ten of the Tour of Flanders Women for four years in a row, and she was part of the winning move both in 2024 and 2025. 

But a year after her runner-up finish, the Polish all-rounder took fourth out of four in the sprint on Sunday, missing out to riders with a better burst of speed.
