[@VeeVeeArcher]

Thank you to Kasia, Matt and everyone else involved in putting the interview together.

[@miche_amico]

Lovely interview. A much-deserved win for Kasia giving us what was probably the best stage all season.

[@rodneyblenkin2384]

[@abigailrojas3290]

She's the nicest person! Thank you for this interview

[@21Zeroka]

Queen! I follow her and her career for a few years now and I couldn't be more happy seeing her get one of the greatest victories you can achieve as a professional bike rider. So happy for her!

[@canyonsramracing2487]

[@PaulEdwards-c4h]

Legend, cant think of a rider that deserves this win more. Always 100% always committed. Great to hear about the road to this historic victory.

[@mabryq]

We know Kasie is well spoken. I would like to emphesis Matt has done excellent job in this chat. He is on top of cycling jurnalism.

[@tvsmed]

Love Matts interviews with Kaisa!

[@squash7days]

Legend! ❤️🇵🇱 Congrats!

[@starblazers01]

Congrats Kaisa!! Taylor Phinney has two great women cyclist in his life, Kaisa & his mom! 🇵🇱 🇺🇲

[@kd301]

Crossing fingers for Kasia for years now. The race will stay in my head for years. What an event to watch live...

[@canyonsramracing2487]

That was down to the last metre! A heart-stopping finale!

[@elwirfankor4570]

Super natural cycling talent from small town in Polish Beskidy Mountains. And still super natural, modest and unpretentious girl.

[@paulacee3380]

You do an incredible job of expressing yourself. Well done and great Tour de France Femmes avac Zwift win! Go Kasia!

[@canyonsramracing2487]

Thanks for watching it!

[@outtatrex]

So happy for Kasia.

[@lgsseven]

nice interview. We can learn her emotion and effort for Tour 2024. We all love Kasia as superstar in World cycling racing. Please keep her position in 2025 and more.

[@stefanbednarz4192]

Beauty and a BEAST!!!!! Congrats Kasia! Well deserved win.

[@tvsmed]

A yellow jersey for this brilliant interview.

[@fredsirvalo1904]

Chapeau, Katarzyna Niewiadoma!

[@marianbossman]

I really love the fact that Kasia is open about limiting social media, i think that most of athletes do it but they are not so open about it. I wonder if sponsors are okay with it or not so much. Jonas said that he performs better when people doubt him, but i think he doesn't use social media at all, maybe he should. 😂

[@MyFatAdaptedLife]

This was a very well deserved victory for Kasia. She went from bridesmaid two years in a row, to bride this year. Excellent job!

[@elytheelythe7086]

Bravo !!! Elle a bien mérité cette victoire 👏❤️

[@dizzzy69]

There is no rote for Special K: if you watch her look up to the left and to the right, she is reaching for the right words to communicate. She doesn’t just spit answers out, she’s the real deal , congrats ❤🎉

[@francisdelacruz6439]

4 seconds! Wow!

[@arnoldhau1]

Good thing the windows are labeled. Else I would not know which one Kasia and which one is Matt.

[@billieboybuddha4238]

We all know Matt has a little crush on Kasia, but hey, who doesn't? :D

[@seanadamson280]

Seems like a lovely lady.

[@canyonsramracing2487]

She is!

[@billieboybuddha4238]

'to be honest' :D

[@Hakucho64]

Tip for non-Polish speakers: "Kasia" is pronounced "karsha", not "car seer".

[@jazemkrzysio]

You're completely wrong - there is nothing even close to "r" in the middle. Google voice tranlsator pronounces both Kasia and Katarzyna properly. "Kasia" is diminution of Katarzyna ( would write Katazhyna in english probably to explain pronounciation? ), we in Poland use for little girl of this name, or very loved adult one. and I love to hear english speaking commentators ( including Matt in this interview, though not always, e.g. at 18'23" he says "Kasya" instead ) and riders learned to pronounce difficult Polish version of this name properly, very "soft" way, as combination of "s" and "i" makes very Slavonic specific soft pronounciation, much softer than in english "situation" for example.

[@Hakucho64]

@@jazemkrzysio yeah sorry, this is the kind of problem that happens when we don't use the IPA. I'm an Aussie, and we don't pronounce (rhoticise?) R's much of the time, so when I wrote "karsha", I meant it more as "kahsha". This is from working with Polish people and having a Polish friend with that name.

[@jazemkrzysio]

@@Hakucho64 No problem. Even to me - a Polishman - is difficult to explain properly for non slavic people these weirdo syllables. To be easier comprehended maybe I should compare it to more hindu popular words, like "Shrinagar" for example. It's just very soft, like a baby talk.

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

Won by default

[@PhilBoden-l6n]

Team sport pal

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

We all know who the best rider in that tour was and it wasn’t kasia

[@arnoldhau1]

That is racing. It is not just a Hillclimb. Sometimes being the consistent second fastest is better than being the fastest up the hill.

[@bluekarel]

it's not time trial, it's stage, team sport. SD Worx left Vollering alone. Lorena Wiebes sprinted to the eighth before Vollering, that sums it all up.

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

@@arnoldhau1 nonsense

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

@@bluekarel you've just proved my case
