This week on Watts Occurring Femmes, Manon puts Emma under the spotlight. How do you win Olympic Gold? And how do you even begin to think about backing that up four years later, at your second Olympics?
This is a fascinating chat into Emma's mindset and shows just how she's become a world champion and three-time Olympic medallist at such a young age.
Watts Occurring Femmes is brought to you by Rouvy, and hosted by Pinarello.

You've seen G's personal Tour debrief, but now enjoy Luke and Producer George breaking down the whole race by picking their top 10 riders from this year's journey round France.
Live from a windy and rainy Paris, inside the excellent Continental Tyres base on the Champs Elysees, they ran through the riders who've left the biggest impact on the Tour in 2025.

Well, that's that then. G has raced his final ever Tour de France stage. From the youngest man in the race who finished 140th back in 2007, to the 2018 winner, and now the oldest guy in the race. It's been a truly remarkable journey.
Yesterday's ride around Paris was G's 282nd Tour stage. Yes, you are reading that correctly.
The rain fell on Paris and put paid to our best laid plans to bring you a finish line pod with G but, once...

When a climber wins one stage at the Tour de France, that's usually that. Job done, get to Paris. But not Thymen Arensman.
What a ride from INEOS' Dutchman on the final mountain stage at this year's Tour. Chapeau, Sir.
And Pogi? Well, he did what he needed to do. Barring disaster, that's number four for the remarkable Slovenian.
Luke and Tom recapped all the action - and got to the bottom of the Yates Snr mystery. He's not happy...

G's ridden his final ever Tour de France queen stage - and now he's got just three days left to go.
He hopped on the massage table (once he'd warmed up) to tell Tom all about his day on the fearsome Col de la Loze and his desire to be handed chocolate bars on the mountain tomorrow. If you're out there, Watts Occurring listeners, you know what to do.
The whole Watts team is excited to see G in Paris on Sunday, but Tom and Luke wil...

Introducing... Watts Occurring Femmes!
Yes, that's right, Manon Lloyd and Emma Finucane have joined the Watts Occurring family.
They'll be bringing you weekly episodes from inside the world of women's cycling, welcoming guests, eating Welsh cakes, and we'll also be tracking Emma's journey to the LA Olympics.
This could be the best idea Luke and G have ever had.

That's that then. G's final ever (competitive) time up Mont Ventoux. And the stage really did not disappoint.
We saw the breakaway duke it out for the win, Pog and Jonas come within a whisker of catching them, and just generally some excellent Ventoux fireworks. One of the stages of the race so far.
Five days to go. Each and every one is going to be a belter.
We'll be back soon.

It's rest day number two at the Tour and there's a big weekend of racing to reflect upon - and a huge final week coming right up.
Luke and Tom recapped all the action, cast their eye over the teams who'll be hoping for a change of fortunes, and plenty more besides.
We'll be back with G tomorrow night, fresh from conquering Mont Ventoux for the final time.

In 2007, a baby faced Geraint Thomas rolled out on the streets of London to start his first-ever Tour de France time trial. Today, he rode his last.
This one happened to be up a brutal Pyrenean mountain under the blazing French summer sun, so we'll forgive G for not going full gas.
Up front, Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard battled it out once again. And, well, you can probably guess what happened.

It was nearly 8pm and G messaged the famous Watts Occurring WhatsApp group. 'Boys I'm not really in the mood. I'm nailed.'
But we knew an hour on the massage table chatting to Luke was exactly what he needed - and by the end of tonight's pod, he'd come round.
And what a day it was at the Tour. A huge break, GC gaps aplenty and - of course - an absolute clinic from Pog. We are witnessing greatness.
Incredibly though... he didn't ...

Bastille Day in France and the Tour usually serves up a route that will cause some drama. Well, today didn't disappoint.
A nail-biting wait for young Ben Healy to see if he could nab yellow off Pogacar, a typically classy stage win from the Giro d'Italia winner, and plenty of typical Tour drama aplenty.
What a race it is.
The new yellow jersey won our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day and Tom and Luke also awarded yesterday's...

An hour into today's Tour stage and news filtered out: Geraint Thomas is in the breakaway. Hold the phone.
In the end, it wasn't to be for the break - Nils Politt, 'the Flying Dentist', set the pace in the bunch and they were caught the first time up the famous Mur de Bretagne.
G enjoyed himself though, and joined Luke on the pod to chat all about it.
The boys will be back on Monday.

G's back on the pod tonight and he settled in for a long old catch up with Luke after today's 33km time trial in Caen.
They chatted the TT, G's form, INEOS' plans, Remco's ride... and plenty more besides.

That was a wild finale and another relentless day at the Tour. Will this year’s race ever quieten down?
Luke and Tom hopped on the pod to analyse a fascinating day which turned into a full on GC battle... plus the incredible MVDP.

Ben Swift should have been in France right now, battling the weather and the best riders in the world on a brutal stage two at the Tour.
But, alas, a shoulder fracture and subsequent illness ruled 'Swifty' out of INEOS' Tour selection, so Luke called him up to get his expert thoughts on the pod.
Today's late climbs lived up to the hype - and while the favourites battled it out up front, we were delighted to see G hanging tough be...

Last week we previewed the Tour de Suisse with an excited G - but this week we had to ask him about an innocuous crash that saw him have to head home from Switzerland early.
Has it wrecked his Tour prep? Is he recovered?
He answers both of those questions in this week's pod and looks back at the winner in Suisse, the impressive Joao Almeida.
And next week? Well, you can expect a Tour de France preview from us - and then the grea...
