    Tour De France Femmes Unplugged 2024 - The narrowest of margins!

    Back in France with his portable recorder, Matt Stephens brings us clips from behind the scenes at the Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift 2024. From the grand depart in the flatlands of Holland to the hilly Ardennes and onto the high mountain finale of Alpe D’Huez, the biggest grand tour on the women’s calendar was like a week-long ramp test. And while the racing was nothing short of breath-taking, Matt was busy finding his usual flavour of obscure and wonderful distractions to chat about; Dutch sweets named after pickpockets, frog’s legs in Belgium, and the closest GC winning margin in history - this is a podcast not to be missed.
