// WELCOME TO THE TOUR DE FRANCE FEMMES PODCAST, from the producers of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast"
CTS will publish daily Tour de France Femmes podcasts with Coaches Adam Pulford and Renee Eastman. They'll recap the stage, but the unique aspect of these podcasts will be coaching insights about how athletes prepare for the demands showcased in that day's stage.

// STAGE 2 PODCAST OVERVIEW
Stage 2 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift saw a new leader in the yellow jersey and a stage win from a 41-year-old racer. CTS Coaches Renee Eastman and Adam Pulford recap the stage, catch up with CTS Athlete Alison Jackson who sent in a post-stage audio clip after Stage 1, and talk about how heat acclimation works differently for female athletes compared to male athletes.
