What looked like the most straightforward sprint stage of the Tour de France Femmes nearly became anything but.

Matilda Reynolds is joined by Sarah Gigante and Verita Stewart to unpack a daring late attack that forced SD Worx-Protime to empty the tank, the peloton’s attempts to call their bluff and another masterclass in positioning, patience and raw speed.

The team also examines the growing pressure inside UAE Team ADQ following Brodie Chapman’s withdrawal, the riders changing their entire approach to avoid going head-to-head with the fastest sprinters, and why the smaller teams must seize every opportunity for exposure.

Plus, Sarah continues to dominate the Black Sheep fantasy competition, the team previews a brutal and unpredictable Stage 3, and they discuss the possibility of early attacks, crosswinds and a breakaway finally making it to the line.
