Kasia Niewiadoma, the reigning Tour de France champion, looks forward to Omloop Het Nieuwsblad as an essential step in her preparation for the Spring Classics and summer competition. Anticipating a fiercely competitive race, she emphasizes the importance of the final two hours and aims to navigate key climbs, particularly the decisive Muur van Geraardsbergen, with the leading pack. Known for her strong performances on the route, Niewiadoma seeks to harness her competitive spirit and ambitions, reflecting on past races to strategize her approach to victory.
"I love Classic racing. The quicker I can start them, the better I can get for my target races. Nieuwsblad is very hard... This kind of racing forces you to switch into the fighting mindset needed for the whole spring."
"I always want to do my best and with that, there are some ambitions associated. From past editions, you can see that the winner is decided on the Muur, so I want to get over it in the front."
