Unclipped with Grace Brown: Tour Form Check - Who’s Ready and Who Needs a Reset

LEAD ASSET JUNE 16 2025.jpg

With the Tour de France just weeks away, Grace breaks down the riders hitting peak form, and those still searching for it. From Pogacar’s dominant finish at the Dauphiné to Vollering’s visible fatigue in Switzerland, we unpack what the early signs might mean for what’s to come.


This week, Grace takes stock of who’s in sharp form and who may need as reset, as the summer’s biggest races draw near. The Critérium du Dauphiné may be the Tour’s traditional dress rehearsal, but it didn’t deliver the showdown many expected and the signs are pointing to a one-man show in July.

The women’s peloton told a different story in the Tour de Suisse where Marlen Reusser delivered a bold win on home soil, while Demi Vollering showed rare signs of fatigue.
