Vos: It`ll be hard to replace Niewiadoma, but it`s great to see her step up
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Marianne Vos says it won`t be easy to replace Kasia Niewiadoma at WM3 Pro Cycling next season after the Polish rider signed for Canyon-SRAM at the end of last month. Niewiadoma was one of the only top riders to stay put after Rabobank dropped their sponsorship at the end of last season and has been one of the team`s most successful riders in 2017 with a stage win and overall victory at the Women`s Tour and podium places at all three of the Ardennes Classics. Vos, the new European champion, says that attitude is the most important factor, and the hunt for a replacement will not be limited to climbers. `It`s not easy to fill it up with someone like Kasia, but we also don`t have to fill it with the same quality,` Vos told Cyclingnews. `We are racing for each other and racing with fortitude is also important. Our team management is looking for the best line-up for next year. I think it is looking good. Maybe we won`t get a climber type like Kasia, but there are a lot of races where we have riders who can be in the final.`ADVERTISEMENT Vos and Niewiadoma have been riding together since late 2013 when the latter joined the team as a stagiaire. Still just 22, Niewiadoma has developed into an intrinsic part of the set-up and keeping her for the 2017 season was a big coup. While disappointed to see her go, Vos feels an element of pride at seeing Niewiadoma step up to one of the bigger teams in the peloton and she`s ready to take her on as a rival. `It`s sad, we`ve been racing together for a few years, and she`s one of the biggest talents in women`s cycling. I think it`s also a good next step and I`m happy she found a team for next year,` Vos explained. `For us, we focus on development and bringing the best out of people, so it`s great to see Kasia stepping up and being at this level. It would have been fun to continue together for another year, but we also know that she has a good team now and we will be ready to race against her.` For now, Niewiadoma and Vos remain ...
