Here's your inside look at the Tour de France Femmes sports tech and other behind the scenes tidbits inside the team area!
Above is an initial behind-the-scenes video covering all sorts of things, including the following bits of interestingness:
- How Shimano Neutral Service inventories each team’s bikes at the start
- Kristen Faulkner’s new bike setup post-Olympic gold medal
- …and pairing of said new bike/power meter to her new golden Wahoo BOLT (in the middle of the team zone)
- Laundry machines, obviously
- The reason why one team had smart trainers out for a non-TT stage
- Which teams are using power meter pedals
- Which teams are rolling-up at the last second
- A group of women cyclists following the Tour…except starting in Germany.
- A really big squirrel gives me a hug
- A look at Puck’s handlebar daily artwork, outlining the stage details (current KOM holder)
- All sorts of totally other random things

It really is not fair to all of the other cycling YT creators how amazingly good you are at your job! Massive respect for all of the years of hard work you have put into developing your craft.
Absolutely true. Always great stuff from DC Rainmaker.
Thanks, much appreciated!!!
Love the Alison Jackson cameo at 7:50
EF and Cannondale really did an amazing job on Faulkner's bike. Somehow while there is a lot going on with the design, it looks really elegant.
Ray, I remember you doing a walk through at the Women's Tour Down Under a few years ago with cracked screens, mixed groupsets, etc. Great to see increased sponsorship and resourcing of the women's teams now.
Indeed, it's awesome!!!
Love that the zwift mascot made the cut ❤
The bottle placement at 9:43 was interesting.
Was a great event, espcially with the start in the NL.
Your coverage of the Femes is awesome!
Love seeing this for women, Can't wait until I can start traveling 💅
Thanks Ray great inside look.
Thanks!
7:51 a wild Alison Jackson appears 😅
Love these videos. Like I'm there but without having to walk (though I'd rather be there - so jealous of those Cologne riders!) Fun to see Alicia J going nuts on the start line. (If she could channel all that energy into cycling she'd be unbeatable!)
Thanks for this amazing video, so cool to see all the teams preparing. And did you run the Paris marathon ? That must have been so cool. Looking forward to the next time trial video ! And I think it was great you did a little interview with those German cyclist, that came to Rotterdam to watch the Tour. Such badss's!
Thank you
Of course it would be Allison Jackson in the start corral with the smiles, laughter, and arm waving.
Great Video 👍
A few years ago you reported on the sorry state of some of the women's teams. Has that situation improved?
Very much improved! Stay tuned for tomorrow's video, where I actually dive into that a bit more. I had some in today's video, but ended up cutting it as it was duplicate with tomorrows video, and it's more interesting in that one.
What size are the tyres, be interested to know the most favoured. And what width rim they are on.
Ray, in what form were the eight teams using Shimano power meters using them? Give the well-known inconsistent readings from the double-sided DA meters I'm wondering if they had single sided or off-brandoptions in place.
Considering how the Shimano power meter is inconsistent on L/R readings it would be interesting to know if the riders simply just go off the right or left side power #s
Yes, I know it was The Netherlands, not Belgium, but when Ray asked "Where are you guys coming from?" and the answer was "We are coming from...", did anyone else find themselves trying not to sing a certain song?
Haha I follow Alicia on Insta she's a rocker, doesn't stand out much 😂
60,9 km is not cobbles, it is KOM and polka dots
