Summary

Join Rose Manley and Denny Gray at the conclusion of a rare double stage at the Tour de France Femmes which included a ferocious sprint and a vital individual time trial.

We speak to riders about how they dealt with the double stage - a feature which hasn’t occurred at the Tour de France since 1991. We also hear from the likes of Anna van der Breggen and Kasia Niewiadoma about the stage 3 time trial which might prove vital in the GC battle.

Plus of course, we continue Denny’s quest to find more delicious local cheese and discuss which riders are worthy of the ‘Big Cheese’ title.
