    The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift starts next week. We caught up with UAE Team ADQ's Elisa Longo Borghini from the team's altitude camp to preview every stage in detail. Joining Helmet Podcast host and gravel pro Danni Shrosbree from 1,800 metres above sea level, Elisa goes full Veloviewer mode, breaking down the route, picking out the decisive stages and explaining where this year's race could be won – or lost.

    S01E05: 24 hours with UAE Team ADQ | Preparing Le Tour de France Femmes

    Somewhere in the Dolomites there’s a mechanic named Mario, hand-washing helmets outside a wooden hotel, while inside four of world's best riders are quietly getting ready for nine of the hardest days in women's cycling. We spent 24 hours embedded there — UAE Team ADQ’s altitude camp, three weeks before the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Not the race. The part before it, the part nobody broadcasts. MET Helmets reports from inside.

Recording during the 560K Adventure, we embedded ourselves with Portal's Patrick Stangeby and John Roberts to explore the thinking behind the collaborative helmet design and follow their riders as they navigate the Catalan countryside, finding shades of comfort in the discomfort.    The PORTAL × MET: TRADE WINDS HELMET is available in limited numbers on portal-brand.com Discover the full range of MET Helmets at met-helmets.com – including the iconic Trenta.

    S01 E02: Kate Waugh

    For the second episode, recorded inside the TUBE – MET's in-house wind tunnel – host Danni Shrosbree speaks to Kate Waugh, an Olympic triathlete, 2025 T100 World Champion, and new to the MET athlete team. It's a conversation about racing bikes, yes – but also confidence, mindset, injuries, getting into cycling and doing things your own way. Smart, honest and refreshing – just how we like it.
