THE GOOD. THE BAD. THE BLOODY BRILLIANT. 🇫🇷
Our take on the 2026 Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift.
THE GOOD.
✅ The racing. A proper TT, Mont Ventoux and just 8 seconds between Demi and Kasia heading into the final stage.
✅ The rivalry. Tactics, accusations, post-race comments and a little bit of beef. 🌶️ Great sport needs characters.
✅ And it felt BIGGER. Bigger crowds, busier feeds, more conversation. The final audience and social numbers aren’t all in yet…we’ll keep you posted.
THE BAD.
❌ We still couldn’t watch the whole bloody race. Decisive attacks happened before live coverage even began.
❌ The money. €2m vs €250k in total prize money. And the lowest-ranked team? €12,000 vs €250.
We don’t expect a five-year-old race to reach parity overnight. But the gap needs to close quickly.
You don’t build the top without investing in the bottom.
THE BLOODY BRILLIANT.
🔥 The performances. Kasia’s Ventoux effort was estimated at 5.3 W/kg for 55 minutes.
🔥 The course. The personalities. The unpredictability. The fans.
People aren’t watching women’s cycling because they should. They’re watching because it’s bloody good sport.
Now the coverage and economics need to catch up.
Chapeau, ladies. 🩷💛🩷
