You're listening to Arriva, from the cycling podcast Femina.

We are discussing today the

Welta-A-Spania Feminina and everything that happened across those seven stages. As always with

an Arriva episode, it's going to be full, well, it's going to be nothing but spoilers, basically.

If you're expecting to not find out what happened, then go elsewhere and have a little watch and come back or come and listen to our insight on exactly what went down in Spain.

Joining me for all of that in my cabana, I wish we were in a cabana, Rebecca Charlton, but we're not in a cabana, are we?

because I thought it was quite, we're not, I'm going to go through exactly

what happened, but just to get your initial sort of vibe check on this race, I quite enjoyed it

because it was quite chaotic. There were winds were going everywhere. There were kind of

incidents. There were penalties. there was changing of the guard.

But yeah, but I hear that that's maybe you weren't so much on board.

But do you know what? I think that's exactly it. I think now I've looked back. I've got about

3,500 talking points across all the stages, as you do with any stage race, don't you?
