Despite finishing with the GC favourites, Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) expressed disappointment at the finish of stage 3 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift after possibly going too early on the final climb to the line.

The Pole crashed going into the base of the last categorised climb of the day, which she says lost her some explosivity in the final, but also put the result down to an element of impatience.
