## Resource

This week, Robyn (and James, but just for the intro) is joined by Kasia Niewiadoma Phinney, winner of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes and all-round star rider at Canyon–SRAM zondacrypto. That is, Kasia can win stage races, one day races, Classics, national titles, World titles... you name it, the Polish ace has a trophy and a jersey for it. Here, Kasia candidly talks about dealing with disappointment at this year's TDFF, where she finished third, her evolving definitions of success, her fearlessness as a rider, her hopes for the upcoming World Championships in Rwanda and the legacy she hopes she and her fellow riders will leave future generations of cyclists.
