One Foot in the Gravel
Season 12, Episode 127, Nov 07, 05:00 AM
On this month’s episode of Féminin, Orla Chennaoui joins Rose Manley and Denny Gray to look ahead to the Tour de France Femmes 2025. With the route announced by race organisers ASO last week, we offer up our thoughts and predictions on what should be a gripping nine days of racing.
We can also finally discuss one of the biggest transfers in women’s cycling. After months of speculation (and some acrimony), Demi Vollering has officially confirmed that she will be moving to FDJ-Suez on a two year contract. But with French GC hopefuls Juliette Labous and Evita Muzic already there, we explore whether FDJ’s co-leadership tactics are going to pay off.
Plus following the recent UCI Gravel World Championships won by Marianne Vos, this month’s mini feature is on the rapid rise of gravel racing. We hear from 2023 Gravel World Champion Kasia Niewiadoma and British gravel racer Danni Shrosbree about why more and more road racers are taking on the discipline.
