Tour de France Femmes '24, Stage 4: Almost Back

The seventh categorized climb of the day, the Cote de la Redoute, split the peloton into multiple groups leaving these nine women to chase down the leaders.  On the back of the nine are Victoire Guilman (St. Michel-Mavic-Auber93), Silvia Perxico (UAE Team ADQ) along with Fem Van Empel (Visma-Lease a Bike), Blanka Vas (SD Worx-Protime) and Ane Santesteban (Laboral Kutxa-Fundacion Euskadi).  Persico had been driving the pace all day and at this point is the virtual Queen of the Mountains.  With three more tough climbs yet to go before Liege, she may not claim the Polka Dots at the end of the day.  It is sure that someone new will pull on the Maillot a Pois on the podium this evening.

Paris Roubaix Femmes ‘24: One Done

As the peloton hit 76 kilometers to go they had only gone through the first of the seventeen pave sections of the fourth edition of the Paris Roubaix Femmes.  At this point as they crossed the narrow bridge in La Scarpe, the group was still one large peloton.  At the tail of the group is Roxane Fournier (St Michel-Mavic-Auber 93).  Not the best place to ride when so much can go wrong at a moments notice.
