Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton cover all the talking points from a Giro which saw the maglia rosa change hands several times. It took a daring strategy on the Queen stage from Elisa Longo Borghini to finally wrestle the overall victory from this year’s breakthrough GC rider Marlen Reusser. And we ask a question rarely asked, where the heck were SD Worx?
In our mini feature, we explore Breton cycling in light of next week’s Tour de France Femmes Grand Départ in Brittany. The Cycling Podcast favourite François Thomazeau explains the history and heritage of the region, plus we hear from two Breton riders that have had outstanding Tours de France in recent years: Cédrine Kerbaol of EF Education Oatly and Maeva Squiban of UAE Team ADQ.
Also on the agenda: a café that floods once a day, Liane Lippert’s many hats and a shocking revelation about Breton cheese that blows the Belgian cheese debate out the water.
