My final takeaways from the Tour de France Femmes
1. This is the best thing that can happen to cycling
We can all agree this race was absolutely epic and definitely one of the best races of the whole year if not the best. And it is the best thing that can happen not only to women’s cycling, but to cycling in general.
Because cycling in order to grow, it needs also to have the gap between men’s cycling and women’s cycling to be as small as possible. And boring men’s Tour de France for years and absolutely insane women’s Tour de France for years can shrink this gap year after year.
And I can see with my own eyes it is really happening. There are more fans on the road, more sponsors are willing to invest in that and generally people take it more seriously.
And I don’t agree with the negative comments around Pogi and Torito coming to the race, that it is about women and not men again. But you would be surprised how many don’t even know something like the women’s Tour de France exists. Every little thing to make people discover it helps. So I am glad they came to support their girls. #TDFF2026

The difference in prize money for the men's vs women's TdF overall win...
Hear me out, I know the men do 21 stages and women do 9 stages, SO to put things into better perspective - that's roughly €23,800 per stage for the men and €5,555 per stage for the women.
So when you break it down, that's a gap of roughly €18,200 for each stage... not to mention that I'm quite sure the women would race more stages given the opportunity, so there's a long way to go for equality on this one🤔
What do you think?
Beaucoup de questions en ce moment d'incertitude, notamment au niveau financière. Je suis stagiaire depuis le mois de janvier, pendant 6 mois, je n'ai aucun revenu et je n'ai pas mon indemnité de stage. Est-ce que j'aurais donc le droit au chômage partielle? #bfmtvquestion
