It was good to see Niewiadoma, Van Anrooij, and Faulkner on the pointy end. It's hard to argue against Kopecky in any race. Great performance by Longo Borghini.

Niewiadoma, post-race. Will probably require a private/anonymous browser window or a subscription.

The love-hate relationship between Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) and the Strade Bianche continued. Since its inception in 2015, the 29-year-old has started the race every year, and apart from a DNF in 2020, she has never finished worse than ninth.

However, the top step eluded her again as she missed the podium by inches when she was passed by Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) in the final metres after getting away from the Dutch champion on the Via Santa Caterina climb.

Climbing off her bike on the Piazza del Campo, Niewiadoma collapsed onto the ground in tears before facing the media’s questions. She was at the same time forthright and searching for answers in her interview with Cyclingnews and Sporza.

“It sucks,” Niewiadoma said about her fourth place, the second time she was so close since 2022. She was sad to have missed the podium again in a race she targets every year. Her last podium finish was a third place in 2019, having collected three consecutive runner-up spots in the years before.

“It was a really hard race. The final was very brutal, I feel like I’m just sad because I’m fourth again, you know, and I feel like …,” Niewiadoma trailed off, tears still audible in her voice, before continuing.
Men
It was like Babe Ruth calling his home run in the 1932 World Series (baseball, American). He pointed to the stands, and then hit a home run (out of the park) shot to that exact area.

So I half watched this on Max but had to leave before the end. I can’t find the replay. Is it there? When I tried to watch the live race link again on Max it gave me an error.

Yes, I see it there on Max.

If I go to the BR Sports section of Max and scroll down to replays the men's and women's races are the 2nd and 3rd options shown.

I thought it was nice that after I watched the replay of the women's race I was able to click on the live broadcast of the men's but start from the beginning. Much better than having to either jump in part way through on the live broadcast or wait for the replay to be posted later.

It's absolutely there, I just watched the last 30k.
I think it might take them a few hours to get the replay up there.
