Today we we wrapped up the 2023 edition of the Tour De France Femme avec Zwift. Today saw the women take on an Individual Time trial and even though we were confident the result of the stage wasn’t going to change the fact that Demi Vollering would win the overall GC, we were all on tender-hooks to see who would get on the podium with her.

Todays Stage 5 of the Tour de France Femme is complete and the racing kept the exciting pace that’s been set so far. It was supposed to be a day for the sprinter but the lumpy route and fast pace saw the sprinters suffer.  Yesterday breakaway success gave the teams with no sprinters the confidence to try and try again with breakaways.  A massive 20 second penalty was handed down to Demi Vollering and she slips down to 7th in the GC rankings. Sarah discusses this ridiculous decision plus much more! Wattbike is the only brand I trust for my indoor training needs.

Anthony has been critical of Jumbo Vismas tactics over the course of The Tour de France so far but admits he might have to eat some humble pie and take it all back. Jumbo nailed it today in the Time Trial. Even though the momentum all seemed to be with Pogacar, he was chipping away at Vingegaards lead over the last week, and he looked relaxed on the rest day but Jonas had other ideas.  Can Pogacar make a comeback? Is the Tour over? Anthony has some thoughts. Stop riding around like a headless chicken!
