The stage 8 flythrough - Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2024
''The grand finale of Le Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is going to be a gruelling stage'' predicts Hannah Walker. It's all to play for in the GC and there could be a big shake-up on the 21 hairpins of Alpe d'Huez; this year is the closest the race has been heading into the final stage and Vollering will surely attack in her pursuit of the Yellow Jersey. Today is going to be a cracker!
