In the latest episode of the SBS Cycling Podcast, Christophe, Macka, and Grace Brown break down the drama of Stage 4 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. The trio begins by unpacking the electrifying sprint finish, where Lorena Wiebes claimed her second consecutive stage win—bringing her career tally to five and cementing her status as the most successful rider in the race's history so far. The hosts describe the chaotic sprint as a “washing machine,” with riders jostling fiercely for position. Grace Brown emphasises the raw physicality of the finale, while the discussion turns to SD Worx’s performance so far, with two stage victories under their belt. Macka questions whether the team’s muted celebrations reflect sky-high internal expectations.
The conversation shifts to Demi Vollering’s recovery following a recent crash, with Grace offering perspective on the crucial role team support has played in Vollering’s resilience. Looking ahead, the team speculates about the potential impact of Stage 5’s climbs and who might emerge as contenders in the general classification. With predictions, strategy analysis, and a nod to the unpredictable nature of the Tour.
