Katarzyna Niewiadoma (born 29 September 1994) is a Polish racing cyclist for Rabobank-Liv/giant, European under-23 road race champion. On 24 April 2017 she was in second place in the 2017 UCI Women's World Tour.
Niewiadoma started racing bikes with local club WLKS Krakus BBC Czaja and soon emerged as one of the most promising women riders in Poland. In 2013, she won two national U-23 champion titles, finishing 4th in both the elite time-trial and elite road race. She also finished 5th in European Road Championships in the women's U-23 road race.
Following these performances, she received an offer from professional team Rabobank-Liv/giant and became a stagiaire in August 2013. She participated in the Boels Ladies Tour, finishing 10th overall and winning the young rider classification. Niewiadoma was also selected for the UCI Road World Championships but she didn't finish the elite women's race.
Niewiadoma signed a one-year contract with the Dutch team in October 2013 and made her debut in professional ranks in February 2014. She took her first victory four months later, winning the Swiss race GP Gippingen. Preparing for Giro d'Italia Femminile, Niewiadoma participated in the Polish National Championships, taking bronze in the elite women's time trial and finishing 8th in the road. Her climbing abilities proved to be an asset for Rabo-Liv team, as she worked for the final victory of Marianne Vos on the mountain stages in Italian Alps. She finished 11th overall and 3rd in the young riders classification, marking a successful debut in the biggest race of the elite women's calendar in her first year as a professional. Niewiadoma then went on to take her first podium spot in a stage race. Together with Anna van der Breggen and Vos she dominated racing during the 1st edition of Ladies Tour of Norway and placed 3rd, winning best young rider classification and best climber standings. In September, she signed a two-year contract extension with Rabo Liv team and concluded preparations for World Championships with the start in Premondiale Giro della Toscana, placing 8th overall. On a hilly route in Ponferrada she led the Polish team in the women's elite road race, coming to the finish in 11th place after a sprint from the selected group.
