Stage 7 and Lorena Wiebes taking the win?! Didn’t see that coming 👀
Meanwhile, our story of the day goes to Emma, sounding totally fresh on the mic, even if her legs are saying otherwise 😆.
Movistar and Trek looked so strong in the break, serious firepower. But then… Squiban strikes AGAIN! Another attack from KM 0… wow just wow!
And of course no day is complete without the iconic daily phone call between Emma and Floortje 🥰. Besties keeping the vibes alive, one stage at a time.
Until next time…

Emma in the break! 😍
Stage 6 was highlighted in Emma’s agenda and for a good reason: two years ago, she won this very stage. And guess what? She made it into the break again!
A group of 19 riders got away, with FDJ doing some serious damage on the front. Chabbey was the last one standing from the original move, but as soon as she was back, it was Squiban from UAE who launched the winning attack. What a move! So, so impressive!
No shake-ups in the GC yet, but… the hardest stages are still to come. 😮💨
Enjoyyyyyy our daily massage table call and if you have any more questions, let us know!
XOXO, La course de Gossip 🩷💛🩷💛
Stage 5: Crashes, Chaos & Kim le Court!
WOW… stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes did not disappoint! It was fast, it was brutal, and yep… it came with crashes, drama, and a long list of DNFs. The GC is already shaking up with some big names sadly out.
Luckily, Emma takes us inside the chaos with her personal report, straight from the massage table, of course. Because what’s La Course de Gossip without some post-race recovery chat?
Floortje couldn’t watch the stage today, but even the results alone were enough.
And HELLO Kim Le Court back in yellow with a stunning win?!
So plug in your earphones and enjoy the chit chat. We’re here for hopefully soon more spicy gossips BUT a lot of cycling love.
XOXO, La Course de Gossip 💛🩷💛🩷
Blink and you missed it!
Stage 4 was the fastest race ever in the Tour, averaging over 45 km/h! 💨 Two powerhouse riders, Tota and Franziska Koch, got away and showed incredible strength. But once again, Lorena had the final word, finishing it off with her signature sprint. 💥
Meanwhile, Emma opened up honestly about her emotions after the stage… real and relatable. But guess what? We’re only halfway five more chances to come.
Stay tuned! 🎧✨

It’s time for another stage recap (sorry for the one day delay…)!
First of all: Wiebes takes the win! SD works did what they had to do, a 5 min 5 min training for Femke Gerritse.🤪 Chasing down that break for the perfect bunch sprint. But it wasn’t all smooth… big crash inside the final 5km 😬 Maybe Emma has some behind-the-scenes on that one?
Also… sad news: Longo is out, another GC leader ‘less’. But on a brighter note: Marianne’s back in yellow, of course she is. The GOAT doing GOAT things. 💛
And how about that bunch sprint?! So nice to see Ally on the podium with a super strong 3rd and Liane flying in at 5th power women🥰
We’re also getting into the real essentials this episode:
• Which sun lotion actually works when you’re sweating on the bike?
• And a tech tip you’ll thank us for: the Epic Weather App. Download the GPX, throw it in the app, and boom – you get everything from wind to weather to where you’ll suffer the most. It’s so easy, even Flootje figured it out herself 😉
(Yes, you can download the file straight from VeloViewer and it shows all your precious numbers too.)
Let’s gooo 🚴♀️💬

110 km, over 2000 meters of climbing, and from kilometer 0 it was full gas. No chill…. Just chaos 🔥
The boss from Bretagne, Aud Bianic, made it into the early break of two, chapeau! 👏🏼 Meanwhile, the peloton? Still flying. 💨
🎯 It was Chabbey vs. Smulders in a sprint for the QOM points and Chabbey comes out on top, she’ll be wearing the mountain jersey again tomorrow!
Late in the race, Rie went all in with an attack, but the GC stars weren’t hiding either, Kasia and PFP were right in the mix.
But the winning move? Garcia said au revoir and the peloton was just coming to late. 🙀 Congrats Garcia!

All About Floortje Mackaij 💕🚴♀️
This episode is… well, all about Floortje. Yep, Floortje Mackaij. Intense? Maybe. But let’s be honest, that’s also just a little bit how she is. 😜
She’s the guest in her own podcast (classic), and honestly, we wouldn’t want it any other way.
