This week on The Feist, it's all about previewing the biggest women's race of the year: The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
Kate Veronneau, director of women's strategy at Zwift, joins us to give a peak behind the curtain into what goes into the massive event, the kind of growth they've seen at TDFF, and who she thinks could win.
But first, it's our women's sports highlights from the week, including drama from the Euros soccer championship, gossip from the WNBA All-Star Weekend, and a deep dive into the doping sanction that was handed out to the marathon world record holder (and why it hurts more than just a couple of athletes).
From what women's sports we watched to what we want to watch, it's just another week of your favorite sports with your Feistiest friends!
