This week on the GCN Racing News Show, we unpack one of the most incredible performances in recent history as Pauline Ferrand-Prévot dominates the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, adding the yellow jersey to her already legendary palmarès. We break down how she masterminded the victory, from staying hidden in the peloton to her decisive attacks on the Col de la Madeleine.
In other major headlines, Tadej Pogačar has made a decision on his late-season plans, and it means he will NOT be racing La Vuelta. Plus, we pay tribute to three legends of the sport—Tim “The Tractor” Declerq, Ellen van Dijk, and Rafał Majka—who have all announced their retirement at the end of the season.
Also in the show, we have full highlights from a dramatic Clásica San Sebastián, a win for Isaac del Toro in Getxo, and results from the Tour de Wallonie.
