You know, I jumped away from that Demi comment quickly, you know, after she had attacked on the front. I'm jumping back. Well, mainly because I feel like, you know, it's a, just an example of how she kind of wastes energy a lot of times. And like, that was a completely unnecessary thing to go and do. And I don't understand her tactics sometimes, especially, especially in this race where the big climbing comes towards the end and you're the favorite. I mean, it's staying safe and everything, and maybe if there's an opportunity getting into a break or something, not a break,

but in a cross when being at the front. But the thing is, is that to waste all these little attacks is kind of, it all adds up. And I mean, it's the same thing as being in the back at a race too, where you're having to work 10 times harder than the people at the front. Like, why do these little jumps that are gonna take away your energy? thing as being in the back at a race too where you're having to work 10 times harder than the people at the front. Like why do these little jumps that are going to take away your energy?

Welcome back to The Move. Joined by Mari Holman, legend Olympic medalist. Allison Tetrick down there. Hello. How are you? Good morning. Talking about stage three of the Tour de France Fam of Ex-Swift. Mel Hincapie, talk to us.

Where we go? Stage three. La Ghassili to Angers. This is so good. La Ghassili to Angers. I love it. I love every part of that. And we love Mel.

And we love Mel. Big paella night for the team. End of the men's tour. Sort of the kickoff of the Tour de France fam of Ex-Wyffe. Always a good start. By the way, where were you? I was there. You guys came too late.

I got reports that you were there. I was of course, oh my God, of course. And you were gone. Yeah, I was only there for a little over an hour. I had a little jet lag. Anna did say she was like, said you were, and I was like, what? And I was like, oh yeah, she just came from France.

But all right, you're excused. Anyways, Lorena Wiebes, not a surprise, right? Cranking out. I think the bets were pretty high on her for winning. They said something interesting in the coverage too, that I guess she didn't win a stage last year. There had been two years that you see a sprinter like that that's so dominant and so powerful, you think,

well, but they must win one every year at least. Didn't win last year. But she handedly won today and she's got another great shot tomorrow. It was huge for SD Works. They really needed that. And they were alluding to that also in the coverage that just that the team has had been misfiring. Obviously the departure of Demi Vallarain didn't seem like it. I mean no I mean and by looking at Kapecke the other day Everything started to kind of you know, call into question what was gonna happen in this race So it was great to see her riding a little better today and then we miss pulling it off

Yeah, they took control and they delivered but before we jump into it How do we talk about the Tour de France-Valmabec Zwift without talking about Zwift? I know they support our show and of course are the title sponsor So I love Zwift. I ride it all the time. Turns out I do have the highest Zwift fitness score over George and you Lance because you can use your outdoor rides to count towards your Zwift fitness score as well. And Colton and I are going to set up my bike here on the Zwift after the show. Snowmass is real high and there's a lot of hills, so I might need to just spin my legs out.

But Zwift recently rolled out their cog and click setup sitting right here. You don't need to change your cassette, no bike drama. There's plenty of drama here in the Tour de France-Faumebec Zwift. And you can literally use it on any bike you have. So a bike collecting desk in the garage, I have maybe a few of those.

And there you go. You got a top shelf smart trainer at your fingertips just plug in clip and go works with all the big names trainers like wahoo My personal favorite Garmin jet black elite the Catalan $299 which means more people on bikes and in the game and Yeah, I like winning up your app. So you get credit. Yeah, it's great Here it is right here. I'm careful about picking up something. I might drop it. Yeah. Yeah, I make a lot of noises you know credit. Yeah, it's great. I need to do that. Here it is right here. I'm careful not picking up, so I think I might drop it. Yeah, yeah.

I make a lot of noises. You know, days like this, there's, you don't expect a whole lot of drama. I mean, we talked, I mean, you sort of expect a sprint stage like that. Lorena Leavis, obviously, big favorite, comes through. Breakaway early on, they got minutes. This is all really traditional in cycling.

I guess the most interesting thing happened, 4K to go, huge crash, huge crash. Demi Vollering involved in that crash. And as she sometimes does, just slow to get up, I think we were all like, is she OK? Is she appeared to be okay at the finish line. Well, it was kind of interesting watching it kind of all unfold, you know, they were on all those

super small little roads, super technical, and then they came into the wider road, and everyone was kind of spread out across the road, and then they were coming in, it wasn't long on that road before they took that tight turn into the finish, and you could just see that they were all going to like have some issues coming into that. It looked bad. We don't know any of the injury updates of course yet. The stage is finished but there were there are definitely bodies everywhere

so it was a pretty gnarly crash. Not the first one of that stage either. Well and they got lucky with the 5k roll you know. I mean it was a they definitely put it at the right time there. You know, I mean, it was a, they definitely put it at the right time there. Yeah. And that's been a development. It's actually been a progression over the years in cycling. You know, when, when we raised, it was one K, right? So you had all of the GC people just getting in the way and trying to stay there with one K to go. And as soon as they got to one K, they would, they could relax. But then it got moved back to threeK and now back to 5K.

That's probably the most, I think, that they can move that out. I think that's a healthy rule to have. We started debating, though, then what happens if then within that 5K there was another selection. Who knows, right? Still debatable. But nonetheless, she got up,

did not appear to be pedaling very efficiently after that. No, teammates were pushing her up through the finishing shoot, it looked like she finally was regaining. She felt like she got it going a little bit. Which is what you do, right? I mean, once the legs get moving, then, I personally think it's better to get up as soon as you can and not let the, whether it's a contusion or anything,

just or a blow, because look, you crash, you can hit anything, right? You can hit a handle, somebody else's handlebar, a pedal. Yeah, but at the same time with a 5K rule and you have as much time, it's like a neutral. You don't even have to worry about it. Get moving, get it. Yeah, you want to get moving.

I mean, to me, when she stood up, it didn't look like there was anything really wrong with her. There was no road rash, maybe she hit hard, but it was similar to her crash last year where she took forever to get going and there was no neutral on that, obviously. But yeah, it cost her the tour. I think at this point, you'd be getting up a little faster,

but she did have time to take her time, and some people like to relax a little more. Lance doesn't like it. He wants you to bounce up. We all get up from crashes differently. Yeah, I mean, you just assume that, I mean, we don't know, we weren't, and they didn't, we didn't get a lot of coverage

of the crash. We saw a lot of coverage of the crash. We saw a lot of highlight reels or replays of the sprint finish. But we didn't. A lot of times, they'll go back and just diagnose the crash, who caused the crash, who went down GC-wise that would affect the impact of the race or the outcome of the race.

GC, New Yellow Jersey, back on, Foss's shoulders. Yeah, a game of numbers, right? So on the same time. But then she got a time bonus, getting second place on the stage. So now Kim LaCorte is second, and GC six seconds back, going into tomorrow. Which is kind of interesting,

had it been a normal sprint, she probably wouldn't have necessarily gotten the same points if you had Balsamo and those ones up there too. Maybe hadn't had something. She wouldn't have gotten second, you're saying? Yeah, maybe that would have, she probably wouldn't have necessarily gotten the same points if you had like Balsamo and those ones up there too. Maybe had something. She wouldn't have got second, you're saying? Yeah, like maybe that would, I mean, it's more power to her that she did get second.

But I mean, when the group is like 20 people or 15 or whatever the size was coming in versus having the other sprinters there with her to contest the sprint, definitely changed the outcome, I think. And she did, she was alone quite a bit as well in that sprint. If you watched the overhead shot,

on the outside, out into the wind, when she did that sprint on her own, still got second course, like you said, Allie gave her the six second time bonus, 10.64 at the finish. Obviously, Lauren and we was just not really concerned, or didn't care about 10 second bonuses, but certainly helped Marianne Voss.

I had a fun time because we were talking about Kim LaCorte yesterday who took the yellow jersey based on average finished placings. And by the way, she barely had it. She had it by half a place. Oh gosh. If you average those two stages out, she was half a place ahead of Marion Voss. And we've talked about her, and she wears this jersey because she's the national champion of Mauritius.

It looks very similar to the rainbow jersey, which, of course, a lot of Capeccis were. And so if you saw them from a helicopter show, why are they both world champions? Slightly different. We're sort of kicking around like, where's Mauritius? And so I roughly knew where it was, but I didn't know what it looked like. Now we know.

Wow. All right. So let me, let me just start your day, folks. Kim LaCorte gets to wear the yellow jersey and the tour de France, FAM of X Swift, and this is where she's from. I want to know how you even start bike racing if you live there. I don't either. I don't either.

Hashtag winning. Hashtag winning. This is what Mauritius looks like. Now, I don't know if you can ride a bike up there, mountain bikes or whatever. There's some other mountains if you look off to the left. Wow. I know. Now I have Mari on Find My Friends, you know, tomorrow.

She's not on the show. We know where Mari is. No, exactly. Mari was, she immediately pulled out whatever it is, Expedia or one of these ninja travel sites you go to. I mean, that's pretty sick. Checking it out, yeah. That's winning.

That's winning. I actually also found out Kim, you know, she speaks fluent French. She spends her time between Cape Town in South Africa and Girona. Her father's French, her mom's Scottish. And the native language of Mauritius, which he understands is Creole. Yeah, I believe that. Yeah. Anyhow, it's out, it's 2,000 miles out into the Indian Ocean. We are a long ways from home. She doesn't get to visit home very often.

No, no, no. No, but we might be visiting her home. Tomorrow. Now settle down folks in Mauritius. I know they've got the Eritrea thing going last year. What does George have? Those jizzies? Can he get one for us?

And a yizzy. That looks like it'll handle a yizzy quite well as well. The other thing we pulled up a picture of, which this is big with Allie. It's always, you know, you look at the results, check for the crashes, look at the GC, blah, blah, blah. The tracker for Lorena Wiebes' nails is a big deal. And she, I guess she switches, I don't know how nails work. I'm gonna do, Yeah, you can redo them during the tour. Anyhow, this is before the stage. She posted this on her Instagram.

So this is quite artsy. This is what she's thinking. I'm gonna rock these nails and then rock these women in the final sprint. They're like moody. It's that super, that's like an album cover. She's gonna throw down on those nails. She's thinking about tomorrow.

I wonder if they'll change for tomorrow. I'll let you know. I've got to love the aura ring there too. I wonder what her sleep score was. It's going to be great tonight. The other interesting thing that we're, I don't know if this has been confirmed, but as is the case in cycling, there's kind of the buzz and things that just start to be talked about.

Apparently, there's a bit of a stomach bug rolling around the Peloton. I know. Lamborghini, however we say it. Well, I mean, we started, Marlin had stomach issues on day one. On day one, right away. So before the race started.

Before, yeah. And our Alisa Longo Lamborghini, DNS today, stomach issue. Doesn't that happen though? I mean, you're sharing hotels, restaurants, team buses. By the way too, you're in a Peloton of 150 plus people. That's as close quarters as close quarters get. People are sneezing, snot, it's easy. I don't like that, right?

It happens a lot. Like you get a stomach bug running through the Peloton, it's not, you know, there's just, it's easy. I don't like that, right? It happens a lot. Like you get a stomach bug running through the poloton, it's not isolated. Now, you know, I noticed something, I was going to point it out to you, Mari. And they were, when we were watching Kapecki was being super domestique, cause you know, 10 bottles down her back

and she goes up to the front and bikini was leading and she hands her a bottle, wasn't what she wanted, wanted a different bottle. So she takes it back and Kapecki takes it out of her mouth and gives it to another teammate. And I remember that's like, I used to try to carry a bottle in my mouth and my director was like, absolutely not. No sharing germs. But I was watching her like take it out of Sakini's mouth, then put it in her mouth and

give it to another of her writers. And she was just running out of hands, you know? This is to my point. I mean, this is how it happens. Little things like that, that in the heat of it, you just, yeah. Well, you don't really have many choices when you heat it.

You know, I think I'll go without a bottle. I'm good. I always hated that though. I'd carry all these bottles, go up to the front, use work so hard. And then my DC leader would be like, ew, I didn't want grape electrolyte. I wanted lemon lime.

I wanted it after the climb. You're like, wait a second. I'm like, ew, I didn't want grape electrolyte. I wanted lemon lime. I wanted it after the climb. You're like, wait a second. I'm like, screw you. AKA carry it over the climb. Carry it over the climb, exactly. This is not cold enough for that. By the way, Ali, I'm just getting, and he wasn't kidding, my good friend Dakota Meyer,

who is an American hero, and a lunatic, saved about, I think it's 16 fellow Americans in Iraq, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. It's one of the very few Americans to ever be awarded the Congressional Medal alive. Most of the time these are, after somebody's done something heroic in past. But Dakota loved my hat yesterday. And first of all, that is he's like, I need one of these.

I'm like, come on, bro. He's like, no, I'm serious. Anyways, boom, I've got the address. And then he writes, I'll pay you. You better give him my number. Dakota, you are sponsored. You're going to get a Zwift hat. You're sponsored.

I will sponsor Dakota. Ali will sponsor you. Dude's beast. Beast. We're all a little insane. Come on. Speaking of Demi, too, I was still at home watching the race. All were here.

They had the intermediate sprint, which Lorena Weebus won, convincingly. And then Demi, which Ina Weebus won convincingly. And then Demi, which I don't hate. I don't hate that move. I mean, it's a good time. It's strung out, but far from the finish, she attacks there. I was like, hmm, I don't know about that. We're going. Yeah, that was a little bit strange. Yeah, she did that head scratcher. Yeah, it was a head scratcher.

But right around that time, too, I think they were concerned about maybe some crosswinds coming up. It sounded like there was going to be a turn and maybe, I mean, it didn't look like she was, it was hard to say what she was doing, but after that was when Chloe came up and started taking Katja at the front and brought back the break basically at that time. Well, that's what you said. I mean, you said she pretty much single-handedly I mean it was at that point three minutes two and a half minutes and We just got on the front and drove it it was under a minute. It was just Chloe on the front Just dialing it up. It was a little like cross-tail

We did have to talk that on Kristen Faulkner was that DFL is that what you say? Yeah Lantern Rouge yesterday and she made the time cut by 24 seconds. Which I didn't know that. I saw I follow her on Instagram so I saw her post. I was like, whoa. I don't miss that. Look, it happens, right? I mean, and kind of who cares too like in the sense that if you're not there to win or compete for the yellow jersey, just take your licks where you do. And I find a stage, I slate a stage, focus on that.

But I totally missed that. Yeah, I had missed it too. I think it was before coverage started. It was a crash and then just chasing solo for a while. Oh, that's not my bad. Oh, look at you. That was my Nordic life, banging this pole down here. I'm sorry.

That's what George does the whole time. You know, I jumped away from that Demi comment quickly, after she had attacked on the front, I'm jumping back real quick. Well, mainly because I feel like, you know, it's just an example of how she kind of wastes energy a lot of times, and like that was a completely unnecessary thing to go and do. And I don't understand her tactics sometimes, especially,

especially in this race where the big climbing comes towards the end. And you're you're the favorite. I mean, it's staying safe and everything. But it's and maybe if there's an opportunity getting into a break or some not a break, but in a crosswind being at the front. But the thing is, is it to waste all these little attacks is kind of, it all adds up. And I mean, it's the same thing as being in the back at a race too, where you're having to work 10 times harder than the people at the front. Like, why do these

little jumps that are going to take away your energy? Yeah, I mean, I think if it's set up perfectly and the team director knows, look, they're all staring at Google Maps and Google Earth. They see where the mini forests are and they see where it opens up. They know where the wind is. They know the width of the road. Like if you can, there's a master plan. Well, even if it was part of a master plan, like the master plan would have been to be

up there and keep herself safe in the top few people. It wouldn't be to be driving the pace and being the one making the attacks. It would be to follow and stay in the front few and have your teammates around you. So making those little kind of efforts that are taking away her energy for later on just doesn't make much sense.

Yeah, net-net, that was a bad day. Not a great day. And especially when her team is not built like SD Works, where this is, let's say, 99.99% going to come down to a sprint. And SD Works is made for that type of riding. And you know they're going to take control of the race. And FDJ is made to help her in the climbs.

Like the team is made for more of these all-arounders to help her on the higher mountains. So I mean, I agree with you, Mari. Yeah. We'll jump right back in. We'll look at tomorrow's stage. We also got some really cool questions from the listener, the viewer, and some fun ones,

which we were sort of like, hmm. I don't know if we can ask that question. Well, we're going to ask the question, so stay tuned for that. Also today brought to you by Peak RE Fountain, fellow cycling enthusiast, been a long time, been a long month.

That's peaklife.com slash the move. And if you wanna remember how to spell it, just rewind the show. Let's look at tomorrow. Tomorrow is similar to today, right? Flattest stage of the tour. Yeah. Little shorter, 128k. I wonder what the winds... have we moved to the Massif Central here for this? Yes, today was our last day in Bretonnia. The Massif Central just always... it can be windy, can be hot. I don't know. It's apparently been much cooler. You saw the men's finish was downright cool,

but the Massif Central is just this mysterious place that can, the pavement's slow, even though it's a flat day, just the bikes don't roll the same. It ends up always being harder than you expected it to be. But if you look at the profile. Pretty uneventful. One KOM sprint. No, no green jersey sprint.

How is that? That's weird. So we're missing that. I think you're missing that. I think there's only one. Gabrielle's going down to my second favorite Costa Rican now. That's that was a joke. That was a joke. And was a joke, yeah. No, there is one sprint.

All right, we had the wrong, with, you know, yeah, 30 miles to go. But it's gonna be a similar probably stage to today. Lorena Weibus. Lorena Weibus day. Hopefully with no crashes. Yep, and you know, I mean, hopefully Balsamo, we get a good sprint tomorrow.

I wanted to say today, also Megan Jastrap was up there, one of our Americans. Yeah, fourth place. Yeah, fourth place. Great result, young. We were curious what the highest sprint finish is for an American. And I don't think that an American

has been on the podium at the Tour de France. We needed to double check that. I don't think that an American has been on the podium at the Tour de France. We needed to double check that. Yeah, I don't think so. In a stage, sorry. Yeah, we know for sure not in the GC, but I don't think we've had in a stage. Yeah, and Megan was doing a lead out for one of my former teammates for Kelly, and she stayed on it. And I think she saw her opening, she moved right, and she went and I think fourth place

is awesome for it. And she's nipping at that podium, I think. Tomorrow might be a good day. It's always cool when they put up the, at the end of the coverage, they put up the stage results and the GC results and just see stars, bars up there. That's what caught our attention. I was like, woo.

Megan. I know, we're like, go Megan. Yeah, baby. And tomorrow's finish, I think, is supposed to be a little more straightforward. It's not supposed to be as hectic. It is the identical 5K to the finish that the Tour de France did in 2020, where Caleb Ewan won.

So I think it's a little more straightforward, which also can be a little more risky too, when it's big roads and straightforward. In the corner where Demi crashed today, I don't, I mean, it was kind of the first sharp-ish corner in the last 5K, but that wasn't the corner that we expected to watch out for. I mean, that was, so who knows, right? There are some corners. There's some addition.

I think it was supposed to be a little wider. It has hosted four Tour de France finishes, first one in 1955, and a fun one, 1978, Sean Kelly won there too. Wow. And where we start, Stephen Roche won a TT and Marcel Kittle won in 2016. Where do you get all this stuff? I miss Marcel Kittle's hair. Is it on the...

ChatGPT? Where do you find all of it? Chat... Oh. No, no, no. Is it on ChatGPT? Liz and I do our research at night in the bunk house. We go through the media kits and the documents and and I mean you think we're just hanging out watching

rom-coms we're working Love Island Do you all watch that y'all watch love? Oh, let me tell you something. This is this is the worst show ever in the history of the world I'm not kidding You just want to be on it. No, I don't stars for Mars again If I ever did want to be on it. No, I don't. You want me to bring up Stars for Mars again? I'll tell you what. If I ever did want to be on it, one of y'all

can go tell my wife that I want to be on it, because I'm not telling. That can be owie. It's awful. I'm surprised y'all don't watch. Fun questions. Some of these are just whoppers. And I don't know if maybe the commentators

were talking about this, but they were talking about Shabby's position on the bike. I don't know if we were talking about Shabby and that she's not too shabby. I think this was probably from the main coverage. But do bike manufacturers adjust frame geometry for female cyclists? And if not, how do teams adjust fitting

bikes for female riders? That's from Lewis. That's a good question. It depends on the bike brands, whether they not they whether or not to have female specific frames. I do know a lot about this, though, because on the geometry side of things, I think ultimately, it's touch points, because you can have shorter men with longer torsos. I mean, women tend to have longer legs, shorter torsos, they tend to be smaller frames, narrower

shoulders. But ultimately, my tend to have longer legs, shorter torsos. They tend to be smaller frames, narrower shoulders. But ultimately, my opinion is the geometry is for those touch points, and that should be pretty gender, not gender specific, until you're thinking about saddles and stem length, bar width. You can even adjust seat post a little bit. And reach. Yeah, reach.

So usually. That is the customization, right? That double triangle is pretty standard as they come off the production line. Yeah and you have different geometries you know for our bikes like I have a Brut Bay versus a Tarmac so you know a more endurance bike versus a gravel bike versus a aero bike but ultimately I think you can fit anybody on it by adjusting stem length saddle height Bar width and then of course, I'm a huge into the saddles are very important for women. So But yeah And man, oh for sure men don't sit on those

You know what? You think it's gotten seedy now, here, wait for this one. All right, this comes in from Ty. This is Ty. Well, let Ali answer this one. T-Y, all right. I don't even know if it's a question.

Don't you think it's funny that the stage winners in the Tudor Friends family of X-Swift get a stuffed beaver as a prize? Now, Ty, you're a sick individual, and we love you. I didn't know that, but. I didn't know that either. I mean, I haven't seen. The Tour de France has the little lion.

I don't know what the little lion has a name, but when you win a stage at the Tour de France Femme Vec Zwift, insert Zwift, they have a mascot. His name is Scotty the squirrel. So it is a squirrel and not a beaver. It's a squirrel, not a beaver. And when you're on Zwift, with your, in the digital world there,

you can see Scotty living around virtually. So it's Scotty. Right, but so it's not a beaver. It's not a beaver, it's a squirrel. All right, Ty, yours. Well, we've got a good answer for that. Because. This guy, Ty, ties a sicko.

He's going to fit right in. I have a feeling he knew it was a squirrel, but he kind of squinted and said, it could be a beaver. So I'm going to ask this question. And he wanted to test you on this. And he was like, I'm definitely getting my question on the show. This is another great question from Nico. How do the watts per kilogram for top women's riders compare to the top men's riders?

As we looked at this question earlier, we thought, well, let's have some fun with it too and talk about Lorena Wiebes in max sprint power. So if you think, I'll let you all answer, but break it up into sort of GC riders watts per kilo and then let's talk about, and we think we have a pretty accurate number on what Lorena Wiebes was doing, for example, in today's sprint. How do those compare? Well, I think on Wiebes, I know I actually answered you, Lance,

and then I looked it up, and I was within 20 watts. So she's going to sprint around 1,250 watts. But she can peak up to 1,400 watts, which is incredible. Yeah, that's insane Yeah, folks if you have a power meter just go on out the neighborhood I recommend you get a little warmed up go sprint around for a little let me know your watts I'm not a huge I'm a big rider I could do 1100 but I would have to come at from like far and that's when I knew I was race fit But I'm not light. So what how how much does Lorena weigh do you think? I did look that up but I give you a second.

You can talk about watts per kilo for the climbers GC wise. I'm not sure what the watts are. I tried to reach out to get what they were. Actually this is we could we could get an answer on this from Spencer. I mean it it's all based on, you could just have to, maybe we can even find out their weight, the weight of the bike, and just look at the times. But that is a good question from Niko. On that, we can, and of course we gotta wait till we get to the mountains.

So calculating Weebus' weight versus her power when she's sprinting, she's actually sprinting at 11.9 watts per kilo. Wow. That's impressive. Yeah. Yeah. I'm curious on the GC stuff. Yeah. It's like on the Matalan, et cetera. Big climbs like that. And what it is, we'll get you an answer, Nico. I'm guessing it's around five and a half watts is my, when they're on the long climbs.

Which is also filthy. Yeah. I think it's, that would be my gut, but we can run those numbers. We just got that question now. So. I feel like in our first year, we were trying to figure out what Anna Meeks were and it was higher than that So I I think we need to definitely We can geek out. Yeah Well, we have more I will save some of these for tomorrow because we're running up on time But I because I just got a note from team back here and so we'll just leave the audience with this Well, actually we're gonna leave them with what we always leave them with but
