Women's Cycling Weekly

It's stage six and oh my goodness the Tour is long, eh. I spent a wonderful day with the lovely Arnaud while Rachel sweated in the press room. We both get pied by riders at the finish and WCW pod gets an exclusive from the ice bath with Ashleigh Moolman Pasio! Subscribe to Women's Cycling Weekly. Hosted on Acast.

SD Worx reckon they're above the law and Rachel is jealous that I'm heading out for a whiz through the French countryside with her man. Plus, another popular solo victory from a relative underdog at the Tour de France Femmes! Subscribe to the Women's Cycling Weekly newsletter. Hosted on Acast.

Stage four was not a good day for our nerves, but in racing terms it was the best one yet. A big break went away, and Fenix - Deceuninck got the win they so very much deserved, while the GC race got started in earnest. Meanwhile, Rachel was crying over literally anything and I was getting a bit overprotective of the paintwork on my car. Subscribe to Women's Cycling Weekly. Hosted on Acast. See aca...

It's only stage three but nerves are frayed in the press room. Meanwhile, the vibe was the same in the Fenix-Deceuninck team car as Julie Van de Velde got oh-so-close to a solo stage victory. And why on earth won't SD Worx...work? Subscribe to Women's Cycling Weekly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Tour de France Femmes is officially underway and while there's no Orangina in sight there's been plenty of excitement to make up for it. I roped in Rachel once again to chat about the stage and we hear from Kasia Niewiadoma, Elisa Longo Borghini, Lizzie Deignan and Ashleigh Moolman Pasio before beginning our sweaty pilgrimage back the press room.

Hello lovely listeners! This week we discussed where on earth the promised women's Milan-Sanremo went and if it's even something we want to see. RCS promised it for 2023 but it's looking more like 2024, plenty of riders want it, Annemiek van Vleuten wants it to be 250 km long (ofc), but what does it mean for Trofeo Alfredo Binda. Plus, what makes a monument anyway, and does the women's calendar ne...

PSA: with Elisa Longo Borghini confirmed to be out of Strade Bianche with sickness, you can listen to Tilda's weirdly specific prediction as more of a dream than a real possibility. RIP. But ANYWAY, the Classics are here, finally! With lots to chat about from Opening Weekend and Le Samyn, we roped in Sadhbh O'Shea of VeloNews to talk all things Belgium with us, as well as look ahead to Strade this...

Well, it's surely time to throw out the idea that racing only starts at Opening Weekend, because we've had A LOT of it this month!

She's been a professional cyclist for 12 seasons and raced alongside some of the biggest names in the sport, but when Emilie Moberg took to the start of the inaugural Paris Roubaix Femmes she had no idea it would be her last ever race as a pro. The residual effects of a concussion she sustained in a crash during the race meant that she was unable to return to racing before retiring at the end of t...
