Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift

[Cathryn]

I am flipping excited about this race! It was brilliant last year, it made me really emotional the whole week!

The Van Vleuten/Vollering battle is going to be epic and, barring disaster, will sort the first two positions. Who will be third this year?

I’d also love to see a Niewiadoma stage win, such a gutsy rider, always at the front fighting and often on the podium but with no wins for years. It would make me so happy to see her on the top step!

Bring it right on!

Just checked out lifespan wahoo team and found out a local rider to me April Tacey has made the team . I went school with her dad so it makes me feel old , have had the privilege of riding with her a couple of times included trying to keep up on a 5 min effort which I did for 45 secs😂.
Just hoping the tour is as exciting as the men's and it gets the coverage and crowds it deserves

Great attack by Lotte K. Timed it perfectly

Anyone know if the highlights are on mainstream TV ?

I could only find Eurosport and GCN+ with UK coverage.

at least committing to highlights should be part of the ITV4 men’s tv rights package. (Unless they get more money by it not being on ITV4 from Eurosport and GCN+)

Gcn will put short highlights on YouTube for those without a subscription

Dipped in and out for most of it then watched the final 20 Kms. They were chatting away, eating and drinking, pedaling lazily along then the speed came up on the screen 43 Kph.

 

[Cathryn]

Not the most thrilling opener but Lotte absolutely nailed that attack!

Fairly dull stage
Can't stand the commentator, Marty MacDonald, completely ruins it.

Presumably Zwift put up so much money and wanted their name in the race title, or the deal was off.

But the Amstel Gold Race is the Amstel Gold Race!

Sponsorship ...

Moderately lumpy today. Kopecky in with a decent shout of holding on to the yellow jumper?
