Ali and Mari are joined by Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter to go through the recently unveiled route for the 2024 Tour de France Femmes, and break down the course, which features incredibly varied terrain through eight stages over seven days that will test every facet of the eventual winner’s skillset. The crew dives into which riders are suited for this dynamic course, and who, if anyone, can seriously challenge defending champion Demi Vollering and her SD-Worx team. They also discuss if the new dates, which place the race in mid-August following the Olympics instead of directly after the Men’s Tour de France in July, will help, or hurt, the effort to drive more viewers to the event.
