Stage 13 of the Tour de France was wild and nasty but finished as expected, and with style. Ruth Winder checks in from the Giro Donne on her birthday to talk about some big news. Find the Equals CyclingTips x The Cyclists' Alliance x Black Sheep kit here. 

A breakaway takes control of a sprinters stage with a little help from the wind.  Ruth Winder reflects on an aggressive day and a near-miss at the Giro Donne stage 7.

Stage 11 of the Tour de France saw strong riders weaken, a non-conventional winner take a mountain stage, and a hint at more battles to come. Hannah Barnes and Ruth Winder check-in from stage 6 of the Giro Donne where the women raced around Lake Como.

Racing resumes at the Tour de France with a sprint finish into Valence. Heidi Franz and Ruth Winder check-in from stage 5 of the Giro Donne.

Stage 9 of the Tour de France was the second day in the high mountains and clearly, the Tour de France is far from over. Except for a few of the sprinters, their Tour de France is over. A strong four-rider breakaway took the third stage of the Giro Donne.

Dominance was the theme. The first Tour de France stage in the Alps and Tadej Pogacar left nobody wondering who's strongest.  At the Giro Donne, SD Worx did the same. Plus Abby has opinions.  We have Nathan Haas back to help us break down the racing. 

After an insane start to stage 7, a star-studded breakaway formed. The Giro Donne started with a team time trial. And the real general classification battle starts this weekend...again.

Stage 6 introduced some crucial questions about the green jersey competition and the M-word record. At 249 km stage 7 is the longest stage at the Tour de France in the last 20 years, and it's not flat. The Classics guys could thrive in the finale, making for an interesting fight for the breakaway.

The first time trial of the tour ended with more lost time for some general classification hopefuls. The Ineos Grenadiers fork now resembles a spoon, what will their tactics be moving forward? Ronan had a busy final day at the Tour de France chatting with Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish.

Stage 4 had a fairytale ending, with a final sprint in Fougères. A rider protest started off the stage, but not all the players involved saw eye to eye. 

It was another crash-filled stage at the Tour de France, but who's fault is that? Is it the race organizer or the riders? We hear from Tadej Pogacar and form our own opinions of a wild first few days at the Tour. 

Stage 2 of the Tour de France finished atop the Mûr de Bretagne. The final 18 km were perplexing and then heartwarming, with a post-race interview that brought a tear to the eye.  Ronan flagged down Dan Martin and Jan Bakelants for a chat. Finally, we run through who came away from stage 1 with injuries, at least that we know of. Check out Sportful's gravel range here.
