After 8 brutal stages of racing, the final stage in Nice was always going to be as much of a mental challenge as it was a physical one.

The goal of the day was to leave it all out on the road to protect Cédrine’s place in the overall classification and if the opportunity arose a potential stage as well. The teamwork and commitment that was on display all week was again on show today as the peloton took on four ascents of the Col d’Eze. Henrietta Christie, Kristen Faulkner, Nina Berton, Magdeleine Vallieres, Noemi Rüegg, Alice Towers and Cédrine Kerbaol cohesion and camaraderie was on full display and they showed the world just how strong this team is.

After nearly two full months together at training camps and then the Tour de France Femmes, the team is leaving the race with heads held high. A top ten in the overall and top ten stage finishes in all stages but one, the team can be proud of how they raced.

  1. Great teamwork from the ladies this tour. I do wonder what they'd be like with a young talent like Paula Blasi in the team, or Antonia Neidermeier, but that's for the future. Well done!

  2. Thoroughly enjoyed the EF coverage this year, just a joy to watch, good audio, great visuals, great stories. Congrats to the riders for giving it their all, and to all the support team for keeping them safe and fit. Thanks, it's been great racing and very entertaining throughout. Can't wait to see what's next.

  3. These videos delight: the music, the fun the team has as a given despite the Tour gruel, their willingness to share their spirits de jour and their joy. Looking forward to their next races and the next Tour de France Femmes.
    A contrast to the sometimes grim seriousness and lack of joy de vivre of the men's races.

  4. Probs to the Media Team to produce those Videos so fast. I enjoyed to watch it. But one Question is still remakning, did Cedrine get the Chance to try the Cheese shrine? 😂

  5. The support and tactical intelligence of the team was really evident as the pink was always represented up front and usually with multiple riders together. 10 days till the Tour of Britain is too long to wait!
