What does the MyWoosh sponsorship mean for the podcast and listeners?
You're listening to the Cycling Podcast Feminine at the 2026 Tour de France Fam, brought to you by MyWoosh. We're very grateful to MyWoosh for supporting the cycling podcast throughout the Tour de France and the Tour de France Fam, enabling us to be on the ground covering the races as they unfold. I've been home from the tour a little while now and I've been riding my own Tour de Bernie on My Whoosh, and I've been finding the flatter stages much easier than some of the hilly ones. Which I have to say have been a bit hot to handle for me at my current level of fitness, but I know that I'm banking some valuable time in the saddle. There's lots of different ways to ride on MyWoosh, very much like riding outdoors, it's free.
You can go to the App Store, download the MyWoosh app, create a profile, and then just start pedaling with your smart trainer. If you'd like to join me for a ride, you can do so on Sunday after the final. Stage of the Tour de France Fam. At 7 pm UK time, I'll be in France World on the classic Paris course, doing a lap or so of Paris just to mark the end of the Tour de France Femme and our summer season of Grand Tour racing in France. There's lots of different ways to ride on my Wouche. If you want to race, you could check out the Sunday Race Club, which has events for both men and women, or there's the more leisure. Cafe rides, or if you want to train for another objective, you can choose from one of more than 700 workouts on MyWoosh.
Whether you want to improve your FTP or your sprinting or your endurance, MyWoosh has got a session for you, and you can even choose one based on how much time you've got to spend in the saddle. So if you want to check out MyWosh, go to mywoosh.com or download the app. from your app store. In the meantime, it's over to the team in France for stage five of the Tour de France Fam. But hopefully see lots of you in Paris on Sunday evening. Virtual Paris, I should probably say.
You are listening to the cycling podcast Femina, the 2026 Tour
de France Femme with Rose Manley, Danny Gray and Lizzie Banks. Brought to you by Mayouche. Today we're in Belleville en Beaujolais.
I saw my dad before the time trial and He has a special mentality because um he he grows flowers of course. So I saw him and I was like, what's hot today? And he was like, ah no. Um you know where it's hot? In the greenhouse. It's 40 degrees there and we work every day very hard there. So think about that. You also have done that. Also it made me realize um Where I come from and um Yeah, that's The suffering is part of it and that you need to embrace it.
Well, I suppose speaking us in should be the only way of uh saying it on this particular episode was demi-voloring. I'm gonna start with the spoiler. Today's stage winner. Today was the stage at the Tour de France fan that we were all waiting for. The big G C Crunch Day, the earliest G C crunch day that we've uh had in this tour, stage five, of course. And you know, we are used to hearing, of course, a an emotional uh demivolering and clearly today uh was no different. Um but yes we've had a a really hot and crazy uh stage. Um so luckily me and my co host have found a a nice, serene, quiet, cool square in which to calm down uh in uh Belleville on Beaujolais. Uh when I say my co hosts, I mean of course Denny Gray.
Good evening.
And Lizzie Bangs. Good evening. Um, yes, well, um That was a crazy stage, wasn't it, Lizzie? Uh did it leave up to leave live up to the hype?
Uh yeah, I I just feel like I'm such a high because it was such a great day of racing. And sort of in the press room it's kind of like watching your mates. There was a moment when the whole press room gasped and we'll come to why later. I also love there was a I also love there was
a lot of kind of national variation in the gasping though, wasn't there? There was like a there was like a sort of o oh la la la la la. And then there was also like a oyoyoi.
