Five Key Insights From the Riveting Tour de France Femmes Event

In terms of popularity, the Tour de France stands at the highest point. And the Tour de France Femmes also has a significant role in making the sport the most popular one around the world. In light of that, this story focuses on the five most crucial insights of the recent Tour de France event.

Annemeik van Vleuten called it an end

The 40-year-old Annemeik van Vleuten, one of the pro racing cyclists of Movistar Team, called it an end in the recent Tour de France event. She has been one of the best riders of her era, which aided her in bagging her current World Champion title and also the Olympic champion title. But in this Tour de France event, Vleuten seemed noticeably off, which led her to third on the stage for the yellow jersey. After that, she announced her retirement.

Breakaways brought surprises

Unlike the men's Tour de France event, Tour de France Femmes had enough numbers of breakaways, which brought surprising results. Out of seven road racing stages, four were won by the breakaway riders, which was an unexpected moment indeed.

Mountains’ presence hastens the excitement

The spine-chilling moments when Vollering, van Vleuten, and Katarzyna Niewiadoma were competing while ascending deserve to be in the fans' memories forever. On the one hand, the fog's presence gave the sight a different dimension, while on the other hand, the ascending stage brought the opinion of adding the climbing phase in women's race like men.

The significant number of audiences

The recent Tour de France event has remarkably increased the live audience number, accumulating up to 23.2 million while keeping 2.9 million live audiences at each stage.

SD Wrox snatches the headline

SD Wrox has been one of the leading teams for the past few years. But their inclusion of a few greatest athletes like Anna van der Breggen, Lizzie Deignan, Chantal van den Broek-Blaak, etc., indicates that it will be really difficult for others to keep their ground in front of SD Wrox.
