Ned BoultingHOST
Yeah
David MillarHOST
... a prime example this year, Ned, was at the Tour de France Femmes and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and her shocking position.
Ned BoultingHOST
Yeah, it was really-
David MillarHOST
I mean, it was kind of Felix Gall-ish.
Dawn BarnableHOST
Hi everyone, I hope you're well and that you had a wonderful and peaceful summer.
Dawn BarnableHOST
I have some fresh new episodes lined up for you, but first I want to tell you about the summer, not that I turned pretty, but the summer I became a Tour de France Femmes Evoque Swift super fan.
Dawn BarnableHOST
Of course, I was always a fan, but this year I got to experience it on the iconic Mont Ventoux first hand.
Dawn BarnableHOST
Of this experience, I have some reflections.
Dawn BarnableHOST
And along with that, just how far women's cycling has come.
Dawn BarnableHOST
Today's guest has been part of that story for over a decade.
Dawn BarnableHOST
Mavi Garcia is a four-time Spanish National Road Champion, four-time National Time Trial Champion, and last year she became the oldest woman ever to win a stage on the Tour de France FEMS.
Dawn BarnableHOST
at the age of 41. she didn't even turn pro until she was 31 coming to cycling from duathlon after years away from sport altogether now racing for uae team lamad she's just signed a contract extension that'll take her into 2027 and racing at the age of 43. enjoy my chat with the icon herself mabie garcia Mavi Garcia, welcome to the podcast.
Alex LarsonHOST
And I love that Chelsea came in from the perspective of the business of women's sports and what this moment means for all of us.
Alex LarsonHOST
In 2025, the Tour de France Femmes put a spotlight on how often women get asked about their weight and their bodies.
Alex LarsonHOST
If you could rewrite the questions that the media, or anyone for that matter, ask women in sports, what would you want them to ask instead? The idea that this podcast episode came after seeing the media coverage from the 2025 Tour de France Femmes race, I was very disappointed to see Pauline's win being attributed to her weight, and no discussion about anything else that she did to prepare for the race, which was a lot.
Alex LarsonHOST
She has won multiple world championships before that race, and yet her weight was the headline.
Dakotah LindwurmSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think if it's still, like, along the lines of body, I'd want to ask, like, "What do you appreciate most about what your body can do?" Versus focusing on how light you are or how strong you are that way.
Alex LarsonHOST
And Cecile, and I love this, she's- she's not saying that weight is irrelevant.
Alex LarsonHOST
What she wants is to be part of a much bigger conversation about tactics, preparation, and mindset, and I completely agree with this.
Alex LarsonHOST
After the 2025 Tour de France Femmes, I was asked by a client of mine that if Pauline approached me three months before her race to help her get lighter for the tour, would I work with her? I'd wanna get some baseline info assessing her current health status, labs, bone density, body composition, her health and weight history, current diet.
Jackson LaundryHOST
it was a weird it's crazy he wins like
Lisa BecharasHOST
I just I think the women's the women's Tour de Femmes is more
Jackson LaundryHOST
interesting and shorter I should go and watch those
Nicholas ChaseHOST
there was some drama this year too
Eloise MavianHOST
Anyway, how
Leon van BonHOST
was the post Tour de France, AVEC, Tour de France Femme, AVEC Swift?
Eloise MavianHOST
Very hard.
Eloise MavianHOST
Yeah.
Eloise MavianHOST
It was hard to recuperate energy.
Eloise MavianHOST
We were very drained, not only for the Tour de France Femme, but also still from the Tour de France, we had to recover and the heat.
Eloise MavianHOST
And yeah, how was for you? All the podcasts we did.
Leon van BonHOST
Yes.
Andy MarstonHOST
So I think it's great to see that... they've taken the initiative to push this content on YouTube and good validation to see the types of numbers that they're driving within the competition.
Andy MarstonHOST
I mean, Tour de Femme, which is the female Tour de France, has been going for a few years now, heavily backed by Zwift as a sort of title partner.
Andy MarstonHOST
I think cycling as a sport, from a participatory perspective, does pretty well in terms of being sort of gender equal without having the stats in front of me.
Andy MarstonHOST
And so I think if you can tap into a female audience, I see no reason why it can't be as engaging or interesting for people to want to watch.
David SpindlerGUEST
Yeah.
Alex ClementsHOST
The, that sport though, like having gone to the Tour de Femmes this year, the growth of it, like you can see where the disparity is in terms of how fast it's growing to like the infrastructure and everything around it.
Alex ClementsHOST
Yep.
Alex ClementsHOST
Yeah.

JackAUDIENCE
lot of giveaways during the Tour de France, Tour de Femmes.
JackAUDIENCE
No Stanley Street social merch.
JackAUDIENCE
Is there anything in the pipeline? Yeah, we'd love a jersey, a bib, even a hat.
Laini BonesGUEST
It's like shocking.
Laini BonesGUEST
Like I just got to go to France with Zwift and Rafa for the Tour de France Femme.
Laini BonesGUEST
I like Zwift and ride in the race car on course and was like in the world tour, like VIP sections.
Laini BonesGUEST
And I have, I mean, it's crazy.
Jolie HersheyGUEST
And also, I think in the bike industry, because so many of us who are involved are cyclists and are enthusiasts and are passionate, sometimes we're only marketing or merchandising to people people who are already cyclists, but people may come in your store who want to become cyclists.
Jolie HersheyGUEST
They watched, you know, they caught part of the stage of Tour de Femme or, you know, saw Red Bull Rampage and they were something sparked and they're excited and they want to go ride a bike.
Jolie HersheyGUEST
So they come in and they need not just the bike, but the whole, they need to be outfitted with all of the things because it's not just about, growing your basket size or selling more units per transaction.
Jolie HersheyGUEST
It's really about outfitting people to have the experience that's in their head.
