D Vollering vs K Niewiadoma Tips

I choose her because, in a direct, high-power confrontation on a long or steep climb (where the race is often decided), Vollering's superior sustained W/kg (often estimated ≥6.0 W/kg for 10+ min) and explosiveness give her a decisive advantage over Niewiadoma. While Niewiadoma is world-class, her recent high-profile results (like winning the 2024 Tour de France Femmes) have often relied on her excellent recovery and tactical resilience (e.g., surviving Vollering's attack on the Col du Glandon/Alpe d'Huez when Vollering was hampered by an earlier crash), not outright power dominance. Vollering's 2025 form, including wins at Strade Bianche and overall victories in stage races like Itzulia Women and La Vuelta Femenina, suggests her power ceiling remains the highest in the peloton.
