Lance, Ali, and Mari break down the final stage of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, where Demi Vollering put yesterday's drama to bed and made history as the first woman to win the Tour twice. The crew discusses how the final GC battle played out, with Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney securing second place and Marlen Reusser falling off the podium as Elisa Longo Borghini moved into third.

Demi Vollering has done it! She is now a two-time Tour de France Champion after a dramatic final stage around Nice. It all came down to this. The final stage of the Tour de France Femmes was a brutal 99.2km mountain stage around Nice, featuring four ascents of the Col d'Èze and 2,100 metres of climbing, and with just eight seconds separating Demi Vollering and Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney at the start, there was everything to race for. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan are on the ground in France to dissect a dramatic final day that saw the race explode on the climbs. Zoe Bäckstedt drove the pace on the front in support of Niewiadoma-Phinney, while riders were dropped one by one as the favourites were whittled down. Marlen Reusser, sitting third overall, was eventually distanced before a crash on the descent dealt a devastating blow to her hopes of finishing on the podium. Elisa Longo Borghini took advantage, moving into third overall. Then came the final ascent of the Col d'Èze. Niewiadoma-Phinney attacked, Vollering followed, and the two went clear of the remaining contenders. Vollering then made her move, opening a gap over her closest rival before extending her advantage on the descent into Nice. Demi Vollering crossed the finish line to win the stage and, more importantly, secure her second Tour de France title, becoming the first rider to win the race twice. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan break down Stage 9 of the Tour de France Femmes. _______________________________________________________________

Stage 8 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift delivered a dramatic finale on the road to Nice, with a long breakaway eventually caught and the GC contenders battling it out on the final climbs. Demi Vollering launched a decisive solo attack on the steep final ascent, breaking clear of Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney and Elisa Longo Borghini before holding on to win the stage by 17 seconds. The victory also saw Vollering take the Yellow Jersey, with Niewiadoma-Phinney just eight seconds behind in the overall standings — the closest top two ever heading into the final stage of the Tour. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan break down Stage 8 of the Tour de France Femmes. _______________________________________________________________

Stage 6 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift delivered a thrilling Classics-style battle, with relentless attacks and a late breakaway deciding the stage. After an early escape was reeled in, a select group featuring Cédrine Kerbaol, Puck Pieterse and Elisa Longo Borghini forged clear before Kim Le Court-Pienaar bridged across from the Yellow Jersey group. The Mauritian champion produced a powerful long-range sprint to claim her second Tour stage victory, while Longo Borghini climbed to fourth overall. Behind, the main GC favourites finished together, allowing Marlen Reusser to retain the Yellow Jersey ahead of the race's decisive showdown on Mont Ventoux. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan break down Stage 6 of the Tour de France Femmes. _______________________________________________________________

Een nieuwe In Het Wiel over de veerkracht van Kim Le Court en de grinta die bij Elisa Longo Borghini veranderde in dommigheid, maar bovenal over de mythische Mont Ventoux. Niek Goedvolk blikt met Roxane Knetemann en verslaggever Maarten Teunisse vooruit op de koninginnenrit. Welke favoriete ligt de Ventoux het beste? Op welk deel van de klim moet Demi Vollering toeslaan tegen Marlen Reusser? Kan Reusser nog terugkomen als ze gelost wordt? En waar staat Kasia Niewiadoma in dit verhaal?

Kim Le Court refuses to let her Tour de France Femmes slip away, producing an extraordinary comeback to win Stage 6 after a day where almost everything seemed to go against her.After being dropped, suffering a mechanical, burning matches to return to the peloton and then bridging across to the decisive break with Riejanne Markus, Le Court still had enough left to attack, chase again and somehow find one final gear in the sprint to beat Puck Pieterse and Cédrine Kerbaol.Tils, Verita and Sarah Gigante break down the countless sliding-door moments that made the victory possible, AG Insurance's complete commitment to Le Court, the sprint decisions that shaped the finish and Elisa Longo Borghini's puzzling tactics from the break.Then attention turns to the Queen Stage and the Tour de France Femmes debut of Mont Ventoux. With Marlen Reusser holding just 12 seconds over Demi Vollering, Kasia Niewiadoma lurking, brutal heat and crosswinds in the forecast, the race is perfectly poised for the Giant of Provence.Plus, Verita reports back after conquering L'Étape du Tour de France Femmes, riding much of the same course the professionals will face on Ventoux.The Domestiques Daily Tour de France Femmes is powered by Black Sheep and Join Cycling.Build your personalised cycling or running plan free for 30 days at join.cc/domestiques.Use code DOMESTIQUES for 20% off Black Sheep.

Tadej Pogačar once again proved why he's the man to beat, dominating the Tour de Suisse with three stage victories and the general classification. Ned Boulting, David Millar, Lizzie Deignan and Pete Kennaugh break down every key moment from the men's race, from Pogačar's astonishing long-range attacks and time trial victory to the performances of Richard Carapaz, Mathias Vacek, Mathieu van der Poel and the breakaway winners who briefly stole the spotlight. The team also turns its attention to a thrilling and far less predictable women's Tour de Suisse. Marlen Reusser secured the race for the third time in her career after a dominant time trial and final-stage performance, while Elisa Longo Borghini, Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney, Cédrine Kerbaol and rising star Lauren Dickson all played major roles in an action-packed week of racing.

This week on The Domestiques, we're joined by Australian WorldTour rider Josie Talbot for a chaotic, insightful and occasionally internet-challenged conversation from Girona.We break down a wild Giro d'Italia Women, from Lorena Wiebes' bike-weight disqualification to Demi Vollering's final-stage heist, Anna van der Breggen's heartbreak, Elisa Longo Borghini's home victory, and the continued rise of Antonia Niedermaier, Celia Gery and Lauren Dickson.Josie gives us a rare look inside the women's peloton, including her shift from sprint-focused rider to climbing domestique, life at Jayco AlUla, the rising level of women's racing, safety in the bunch, Tour de France selection, Worlds ambitions, time trialling, altitude camps, and why doing a job for someone else is still an art form.Plus, Hollywood reviews Sydney, Marco wins Bendigo, Luke Tuckwell gets a shoutout, Talia Appleton takes a win, and we ask the big questions: is erg mode good, is Melbourne better than Sydney, and can we crowdfund Josie better internet?

Vingegaard schreibt Geschichte Jonas Vingegaard gewinnt den Giro d'Italia 2026 und ist damit erst der achte Fahrer der Geschichte, der alle drei Grand Tours gewonnen hat. Bent und Lukas analysieren die entscheidende Finalwoche, Vingegaards überlegene Bergankünfte und die Frage, ob Visma und Vingegaard auf dem Weg zur Tour de France unterschätzt werden.

They get into the calendar shift, the stages that will shape the GC battle, and the riders who could shake things up. Then Lizzie's old teammate and rival Elisa Longo Borghini joins the conversation. They talk about what it's like to race the Giro on home roads, the weight of the maglia rosa when you're Italian, and how different the race looks now compared to when she first lined up. Elisa opens up about her bid to win it for a third year running - the pressure, the motivation, and why she still races with the same fire she had on day one.

Komende zondag gaan we er met z'n allen weer eens goed voor zitten. De 123ste editie van Parijs-Roubaix belooft een waar spektakelstuk te worden; een 258 kilometer lange, epische strijd tussen mannen als Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar, Wout van Aert en Mads Pedersen. De laatste jaren was het Van der Poel die heer en meester was tijdens de 'Hel van het Noorden' en hij zal uiteraard proberen om de koers voor de vierde keer op rij te winnen. Daarnaast komen uiteraard ook de vrouwen in actie en daar zullen de ogen gericht zijn op Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Lotte Kopecky en Elisa Longo Borghini. In de eerdere vijf edities won nog nooit een Nederlandse vrouw, maar wat kunnen Marianne Vos en Lorena Wiebes laten zien bij afwezigheid van Demi Vollering? We blikten vooruit met Rodrick de Munnik van RIDE Magazine. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Get those waffles out of your cupboard and dig in as Rose Manley and Lizzy Banks discuss the 2026 edition of the women's Tour of Flanders.An all star cast of riders lined up to face the 15 cobbled sections and climbs of the Ronde Van Vlaanderen. Amongst them, record holding three time winner Lotte Kopecky who has been on sporadic form this season and two time champion Elisa Longo Borghini who heads up a firing UAE Team ADQ. The race also offers up a number of other conundrums. Can Dwars door Vlaanderen winner Marlen Reusser double up and take a second Flandrian win this week? Will Demi Vollering finally add a Flanders title to her palmares? Might Lorena Wiebes survive the climbs and go for the win?Also on the agenda: Lizzy builds a Noah's Ark for cats and the waffle-o-meter gets a grilling.Follow us on social media:Twitter @cycling_podcastInstagram @thecyclingpodcastFriends of the PodcastSign up as a Friend of the Podcast at thecyclingpodcast.com to listen to new special episodes every month plus a back catalogue of more than 300 exclusive episodes.The 11.01 CappuccinoOur regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

Dai dai dai! No that's not a threat, that's our call to come and listen to our latest episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin where we are taking a look at the Italian Classics block. Lizzy Banks makes her much hoped-for return to the podcast to join Rose Manley, Rebecca Charlton and Denny Gray as we discuss a drama packed Strade Bianche and an equally surprising Trofeo Binda.In our mini feature we look at the history and significance of Trofeo Binda, a race that is often overlooked in favour of races with a men's equivalent but has long been a firm favourite among the peloton. We hear from twice winner and this year's super domestique Elisa Longo Borghini, former British champ and winner of the 2018 junior race Pfeiffer Georgi and bici.PRO chief editor Enzo Vicennati. We dig deeper into the unique elements of this race, one of the oldest on the women's calendar, and explore its connection to 1920s cycling icon Alfredo Binda.And lastly we look ahead – or perhaps don't – to Milan-Sanremo and the raft of cobbled classics that follows.Also on the agenda: an Elisa Longo Borghini panino, Denny speaks Mandarin (but does he really?) and Rebecca's goes all quasi psychologist on us with a theory that encompasses Milan-Sanremo fandom and university dissertation punctuality.Follow us on social media:Twitter @cycling_podcastInstagram @thecyclingpodcastFriends of the PodcastSign up as a Friend of the Podcast at thecyclingpodcast.com to listen to new special episodes every month plus a back catalogue of more than 300 exclusive episodes.The 11.01 CappuccinoOur regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

It's a full team this week to discuss Strade Bianche! Gracie, Loren, and Georgie joined Abby to talk all about FDJ United-Suez, how the team expertly pivoted when Demi Vollering was taken off the board, what made Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney and Elisa Longo Borghini's bids for the win different from Chabbey and Koch's, and more.We also talked about the importance of The Cyclists' Alliance, and you can find my written piece on their financial difficulties here.

Nadat Le Samyn dinsdag het (verlengde) Openingsweekend helemaal afsloot, zijn alle vizieren op Strade Bianche gericht. Zaterdag vechten de tenoren op de Italiaanse grindwegen fikse duels uit, waarbij de vrouwenkoers bol staat van de spanning en het bij de mannen waarschijnlijk uitdraait op een one-team-show. Maar er is nog veel, heel veel meer. Je hoort het in de nieuwe WielerFlits Podcast!ADVERTENTIE | Deze aflevering wordt gevoed door MNSTRY. Ontvang 20% korting op je eerste Tasting Box met de code WIELERFLITS20 en ontdek waarom sportvoeding geen keuze hoeft te zijn tussen prestaties op de fiets en je gezondheid daarbuiten. Ga vandaag nog naar MNSTR.COM⁠.We staan uitgebreid stil bij de machtsverhoudingen in de komende Strade Bianche. Uiteraard is Tadej Pogačar de te kloppen man, maar met Tom Pidcock en de piepjonge Paul Seixas - van wie er een uitgebreid profiel te horen is in deze aflevering - zijn er wel een aantal uitdagers die het hem lastig kunnen maken. Ook in Pogačars eigen ploeg zitten serieuze kanshebbers. Wat te denken van Isaac Del Toro en Jan Christen? Beiden zijn enorm goed in vorm. Daarnaast zijn er ook nog mannen als Matteo Jorgenson en Wout van Aert, als ook debutant Tibor Del Grosso.Mathieu van der Poel ontbreekt en dat heeft vooral met de vele hoogtemeters te maken. Dat is ook de reden waarom de Sloveense wereldkampioen de huizenhoge topfavoriet bij de mannen is. Bij de vrouwen steekt dat helemaal anders in elkaar. Ja, Demi Vollering - die de nadrukkelijke interesse van Red Bull geniet - kan voor een derde keer winnen. Maar met onder meer Elisa Longo Borghini, Kasia Niewiadoma, Kim Le Court, Lotte Kopecky, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Anna van der Breggen, Marianne Vos én Puck Pieterse zijn de toppers meer dan aan elkaar gewaagd.In deze aflevering hoor je verder dus een uitgebreid profiel over het nieuwe Franse wonderkind Paul Seixas, zit er volgens Youri een heel andere theorie achter het ‘akkefietje' na de finish van Omloop Het Nieuwsblad tussen Mathieu van der Poel, Tim van Dijke en Florian Vermeersch, nemen we de sterkste Nederlanders uit het Openingsweekend nog even kort onder de loep en was Maxim bij de presentatie van de nieuwe crossploeg van Laurens ten Dam en onze collega's van de Live Slow Ride Fast-podcast. Kortom: heel veel redenen om te luisteren de WF Podcast!

...SURPRISE! Gotcha. Yes the mini feature in this month's episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin is all about two surprising wins from last season. We'll be hearing from reigning world champion Magdaleine Vallieres about her huge shock win last September and from podcast favourite Lotte Claes about the Omloop Het Niewsblad victory which upset all the big hitters last February.Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton will also be covering the less surprising UAE Tour where Elisa Longo Borghini took the overall title for the third time and Lorena Wiebes claimed all three sprint stages. The less than thrilling racing does however give the team the chance to look more closely at superstar Wiebes. An athlete who makes a credible bid for the title of best sprinter that has ever been but is still so often overlooked by both media and fans.You can hear more from world champion Magdaleine Vallieres in our forthcoming Friends Special, an exclusive for Friends of The Podcast subscribers. Hear about the 1,000km bikepacking trip that sparked her imagination as a nine-year-old in Quebec, her difficult transition into the elite ranks and her rise to claim the rainbow stripes.Also on the agenda: nominative determinism jumpers, the mystery of the fan club president's notebook and the briefest of peeks at Denny's crystal balls.Follow us on social media:Twitter @cycling_podcastInstagram @thecyclingpodcastFriends of the PodcastSign up as a Friend of the Podcast at thecyclingpodcast.com to listen to new special episodes every month plus a back catalogue of more than 300 exclusive episodes.The 11.01 CappuccinoOur regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

O tricampeão mundial de crono está voando e venceu praticamente tudo que competiu em Mallorca e na Volta a Comunidad Valenciana. Será que esse é o ano do Remco? Ele agora parte para o UAE Tour, primeiro desafio WorldTour. Por lá, seu maior rival deve ser o jovem Isaac del Toro. O dinamarquês Jonas Vingegaard também estava no start list, mas a Visma Lease Bike anunciou que ele será poupado. O RADIO traz esse assunto e muitos outros temas importantes na semana, como os nacionais da Colômbia, o domínio absoluto de Lorena Wiebes nos sprints e o reinado de Elisa Longo Borghini no UAE Tour.

Jake previews the upcoming UAE Women's Tour, as Elisa Longo Borghini looks to defend her GC jersey following her 2025 victory! There's a recap of that 2025 Tour, a look at the four Stages, Jake's list of potential contenders, and predictions for who wins which Classifications!

Manege frei im Radsport-Zirkus! Im großen Zelt fliegt der Besenwagen Runde um Runde durch die Steilwand. In der Mitte steht Yana Seel mit der Peitsche in der Hand und bändigt flandrische Löwen und kasachische Platzhirsche. Als erste CEO im Profi-Radsport führte sie die Teams Astana-Premier Tech und Lotto-dstny.

Come and chow down on our Grand Tour sandwich episode! Deliciously filled with all the chat from a thrilling Giro d'Italia Women plus a look ahead to the imminent Tour de France Femmes in our mini feature about Breton cycling. Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton cover all the talking points from a Giro which saw the maglia rosa change hands several times. It took a daring strategy on the Queen stage from Elisa Longo Borghini to finally wrestle the overall victory from this year's breakthrough GC rider Marlen Reusser. And we ask a question rarely asked, where the heck were SD Worx? In our mini feature, we explore Breton cycling in light of next week's Tour de France Femmes Grand Départ in Brittany. The Cycling Podcast favourite François Thomazeau explains the history and heritage of the region, plus we hear from two Breton riders that have had outstanding Tours de France in recent years: Cédrine Kerbaol of EF Education Oatly and Maeva Squiban of UAE Team ADQ.  Also on the agenda: a café that floods once a day, Liane Lippert's many hats and a shocking revelation about Breton cheese that blows the Belgian cheese debate out the water.

In this Spotlight episode, Ross and Gareth tackle a provocative question: should sports embrace fatigue to make the show better? We kick off with rugby union, where fresh legs off the bench and player welfare are fuelling debates about injury risks. But things quickly get philosophical. Some sports are basically designed to test how much fatigue you can take. Others are compromised when fatigue creeps in — skills drop, mistakes rise — yet fatigue also cranks up the drama and emotion. So, which sports thrive when athletes are running on empty, and which ones fall apart? And what would happen if you dialed up fatigue across the board — would it wreck the sport or make it even better?We also take a quick spin through the opening Grand Slam Track meeting in Jamaica, and peek ahead to the LA Olympics, where a bunch of new sports and events just got announced. Plus, concussion protocols and management are in the spotlight: a study from Scotland provides the first results on the lowering of tackle height in the community game; cyclist Elisa Longo-Borghini was pulled mid-race at Flanders; and Aussie cricketer Will Pucovski retired after his 13th concussion. Finally, we throw out a few predictions for Paris-Roubaix this Sunday. Got thoughts on these topics?

Rose Manley and Rebecca Charlton pick over what was set to be a fiercely contested Tour of Flanders. Defending champion Elisa Longo Borghini heads up the top favourites for the race and arrives in fine form following her Dwars Door Vlaanderen victory. Meanwhile, World Champion Lotte Kopecky comes to the race without a win to her name this season but on the lookout for a historic third title in De Ronde. Or could a new Queen of the Cobbles be crowned in Flanders?  Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast's coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.

Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell cast their eye over one of the most hotly anticipated races of the year, Milano-Sanremo Donne. The last time the race was staged for women was 20 years ago, leaving plenty of intrigue over how it would be approached by this current crop of riders. This season's battle of SD Worx versus Demi Vollering was expected to continue into this race. The Dutch team boasted both World Champion Lotte Kopecky and super sprinter Lorena Wiebes in their line-up, making them the team to beat. However, former alumnus Vollering – now of FDJ Suez – got the better of them at Strade Bianche and looked to do it again on the famous climbs of the Cipressa and Poggio.  There were plenty of contenders for the inaugural Milano Sanremo Donne title elsewhere too. Trofeo Binda champion Elisa Balsamo heads up Lidl-Trek, Elisa Longo Borghini looks to make a big impression as Italian champion and Kasia Niewiadoma races for the first time since her Strade Bianche crash. Arrivée is The Cycling Podcast's quick-fire race analysis show offering a first take on the biggest races. Join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie as they discuss their first impressions of the opening Monument of the spring, the longest one-day race on the World Tour calendar, Milan-Sanremo.

With the close of the season in 2024, Coryn Labecki called time on her extraordinary career. With national titles on the road, TT, criterium, track and cyclocross from junior level to elite Coryn has gathered one of the most extraordinary palmares we've seen. That's before we mention her monument win, where Coryn beat the likes of Annemiek van Vleuten, Lotte Kopecky and Elisa Longo Borghini to the Tour of Flanders title in 2017 - becoming the first American woman to do so. Coryn joins us to reflect on her career, to look forward to the future and find out what she's change to the sport that she loves. The Odd Tandem is a Shocked Giraffe production.

In the February episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin, Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Jo Rowsell pick over the UAE Tour, a race which often offers up some key insight for the season ahead. Plus we look at some of the junior world champions of the past in our mini feature. There's plenty to discuss from the UAE Tour, as Elisa Longo Borghini took a commanding overall victory while Lorena Wiebes went almost unchallenged as she swept up all three sprint stages. Some other big favourites didn't fare so well though. Pauline Ferrand Prévot has made no secret of her Tour de France Femmes ambitions since her comeback but was noticeably absent among the first finishers on the top of Jebel Hafeet. While the new line-up at FDJ-Suez failed to take home a top ten on any stage. In our mini feature we speak to former and present junior world champions and see how they've fared since hitting the elite ranks. We hear from Lucy Van der Haar nee Garner who retired five years ago, Canyon-SRAM rider Zoe Backstedt, current junior champion Cat Ferguson and Laura Stigger who was scouted by Anna van der Breggen to join SD Worx this year. Also on the agenda… more baby news, some deserved gloating by Jo and reminiscing over Orla's car sickness.

It's a bumper transfer special on The Cycling Podcast Féminin this month. In what is proving to be one of the busiest and most significant transfer markets in recent memory, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Orla Chennaoui discuss all the major moves. With so many of the peloton's biggest champions making the switch, we pick out which transfers excite us and surprise us the most. We'll be discussing the comebacks of former world champions Anna van der Breggen and Pauline Ferrand Prevot in detail as well as looking at the consequences of moves by the likes of Elisa Longo Borghini, Niamh Fisher-Black, Juliette Labous, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig and of course Demi Vollering. Our mini feature takes us back to the Tour de France Femmes where Rose and Denny explored why the Dutch always dominated the women's road racing scene. We speak to Team SD Worx's Lorena Wiebes and Mischa Bredewold and former pro Iris Slappendel, and get an outside perspective from British riders Lizzie Deignan and Becky Storrie. Also on the agenda, we ask what would your grandma rather eat: a mint chocolate selection box or a chocolate orange?

Join Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell as they discuss a thrilling Women's Elite World Championships Road Race which took place over a punchy 154 kilometres, finishing in Zurich. With an inter-team rivalry at SD Worx that has been building all year, the race was expected to be a showdown between defending World Champion Lotte Kopecky and all-conquering Demi Vollering. But also lining up were Tour de France Femmes champion Kasia Niewiadoma and Giro d'Italia champion Elisa Longo Borghini who come to the race with renewed confidence this year. Young stars like Puck Pieterse and Neve Bradbury also had the chance to prove themselves with a World Champion U23 title on the line in the same race. With the rainbow bands at stake, who will reign supreme?

The Cycling Podcast Féminin has everything you need to know about what has quickly become the biggest race in women's cycling - the Tour de France Femmes. Rose Manley and Denny Gray take a close look at the eight stages that will take the riders from Rotterdam to the Alps across a week of racing. Special attention is paid to the upcoming Queen stage in our mini feature on Alpe d'Huez. While the men's peloton have visited the iconic climb 31 times at the Tour, the women last raced there over 30 years ago during the Tour Feminin. We investigate the origins of the Alpe's legend and speak to some female racers who have competed there in the past. Plus Rose and Denny weigh up who might be the biggest contenders for the fabled yellow jersey. While Demi Vollering has looked unbeatable across this year's stage races, she lines up at the Tour with a somewhat depleted SD Worx team who are missing some of their strongest domestiques. Meanwhile Kasia Niewiadoma has enjoyed something of a resurgence this year, supported by a Canyon-SRAM squad which continues to discover new depths. Plus no-one can discount Giro d'Italia winner Elisa Longo Borghini, looking to make it a Giro-Tour double. And while the racing is highly anticipated, so too are the cheese possibilities as Rose and Denny prepare to embark on their own Tour de France, where they will be doing daily podcasts on-the-ground, beginning on 12th August.

We're dragging listeners back to Italy as The Cycling Podcast Féminin tackles the Giro d'Italia Women, which was won in spectacular fashion by Elisa Longo Borghini. Rose Manley is joined by Denny Gray and special guest ex-Olympian Joanna Rowsell to pull out all the biggest headlines from the race. For our mini feature, we use the anticipated return of Anna van der Breggen to the women's peloton as a springboard to find out what it takes to retire from racing and come back. Rose speaks to Ruth Edwards née Winder who retired in the same year as Van der Breggen only to return this season in flying form, already claiming a title in Thüringen and two podium finishes at the Giro. Edwards' breakthrough wasn't the only story of the race as the second Grand Tour of the women's calendar proved to be every bit as thrilling and hard-fought as it had promised. We witnessed the birth of a new rivalry between eventual winner Elisa Longo Borghini and all-round superstar Lotte Kopecky who trailed the Italian by only one second going into the final day. There was plenty of interest elsewhere as well with seven different teams sharing the stage victories at the race and the emergence of some new names to the roll of honour.

In this month's episode of Féminin, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Orla Chennaoui cast their eyes over recent racing at the Tour de Suisse and come dangerously close to speculation as they ponder what it might mean for the year's biggest races and beyond.  Demi Vollering's winning run shows no signs of letting up after taking three stages and the overall win at the Tour de Suisse. But how much could her expected departure from SD Worx at the end of the season stifle her ambitions? And who are her likely rivals?  Plus, this month's mini feature follows four riders and their changing fortunes at the Tour of Britain Women. We hand the microphone over to SD Worx super domestique Christine Majerus, DSM-firmenich road captain Pfeiffer Georgi, youngest rider in the race Eilidh Shaw and Lucy Harris, a full time meteorological data scientist competing at her first ever WWT race. And lastly we look ahead to the forthcoming women's Giro d'Italia which hasn't been won by anyone other than Anna van der Breggen or Annemiek Van Vleuten since 2016. The route boasting time trials, sprints, hilly stages and a fearsome finish on Blockhaus, and with Demi Vollering not starting, we look at who might be capable of winning the maglia rosa. We discuss emerging talents Neve Bradbury and Kim Cadzow and Lidl-Trek's joint leaders of Elisa Longo Borghini and Gaia Realini.
