Tour de France Femmes review - and Emma got an MBE! | Watts Occurring Femmes

Tour de France Femmes review - and Emma got an MBE! | Watts Occurring Femmes

When Emma Finucane walked into the Watts Occurring Femmes studio yesterday, the team had to bow down at her feet. She's now an MBE! Manon Lloyd got the inside scoop on what it's like to receive such an honour from Princess Anne. She also told Emma about her own recent brush with cycling royalty - when she interviewed G at the end of the Tour! The girls also dig into the Tour de France Femmes and Pauline Ferrand Prevot's remarkable victory for France, before taking on a whole load of listener questions. And yes, that's where Emma revealed she once cried while at 1,000 watts. You need to stick around for that. We'll be back next week with the incredible Amy Hudson, who's just finished a mindblowing cycling challenge of her own. Watts Occurring Femmes is brought to you by Rouvy, and hosted by Pinarello.

Post-Tour partying looks a little different these days | Watts Occurring

G and Luke are back with a post-Tour update - and things are a little different to how they were a few years back. Plenty of family time for the boys and also a lot of big cycling news to catch up on: a brilliant Tour de Frances Femmes victor, a huge move for Remco (#littlebastard) and a big win for Luke's boys, Decathlon-AG2R, in Poland. G's next up at the Tour of Germany and then the countdown begins to Tour of Britain... and his final ever professional race. The boys will be back next week - but Emma and Manon will be back before that with a deeper dive into Tour de France Femmes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

G’s final Tour de France, live from Paris | Tour de France stage 21 | Watts Occurring

G’s final Tour de France, live from Paris | Tour de France stage 21 | Watts Occurring

Well, that's that then. G has raced his final ever Tour de France stage. From the youngest man in the race who finished 140th back in 2007, to the 2018 winner, and now the oldest guy in the race. It's been a truly remarkable journey. Yesterday's ride around Paris was G's 282nd Tour stage. Yes, you are reading that correctly. The rain fell on Paris and put paid to our best laid plans to bring you a finish line pod with G but, once he'd dried off, had a shower and a celebratory beer, he joined Tom for a chat at the team hotel to reflect on a momentous day. Enjoy - and thank you, G. Watts Occurring is brought to you by Continental Tyres. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Arise, Sir Arensman and sorry Mr Yates | Tour de France stage 19 | Watts Occurring

When a climber wins one stage at the Tour de France, that's usually that. Job done, get to Paris. But not Thymen Arensman. What a ride from INEOS' Dutchman on the final mountain stage at this year's Tour. Chapeau, Sir. And Pogi? Well, he did what he needed to do. Barring disaster, that's number four for the remarkable Slovenian. Luke and Tom recapped all the action - and got to the bottom of the Yates Snr mystery. He's not happy with G!

Ham sandwiches on the queen stage | Tour de France stage 18 | Watts Occurring

G's ridden his final ever Tour de France queen stage - and now he's got just three days left to go. He hopped on the massage table (once he'd warmed up) to tell Tom all about his day on the fearsome Col de la Loze and his desire to be handed chocolate bars on the mountain tomorrow. If you're out there, Watts Occurring listeners, you know what to do. The whole Watts team is excited to see G in Paris on Sunday, but Tom and Luke will be back tomorrow night with one final pod before then.

Mont Ventoux didn't disappoint | Tour de France stage 16 | Watts Occurring

That's that then. G's final ever (competitive) time up Mont Ventoux. And the stage really did not disappoint. We saw the breakaway duke it out for the win, Pog and Jonas come within a whisker of catching them, and just generally some excellent Ventoux fireworks. One of the stages of the race so far. Five days to go. Each and every one is going to be a belter. We'll be back soon. Don't forget, we have a brilliant offer from our friends at Rouleur for July.

A final Tour TT for G and a fight back from Vingegaard? | Tour de France stage 13 | Watts Occurring

A final Tour TT for G and a fight back from Vingegaard? | Tour de France stage 13 | Watts Occurring

In 2007, a baby faced Geraint Thomas rolled out on the streets of London to start his first-ever Tour de France time trial. Today, he rode his last. This one happened to be up a brutal Pyrenean mountain under the blazing French summer sun, so we'll forgive G for not going full gas. Up front, Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard battled it out once again. And, well, you can probably guess what happened. G's teammate Connor Swift joined him to chat all about it. Nice one Swifty.

Watch out Cav, Pog's on the march | Tour de France stage 12 | Watts Occurring

It was nearly 8pm and G messaged the famous Watts Occurring WhatsApp group. 'Boys I'm not really in the mood. I'm nailed.' But we knew an hour on the massage table chatting to Luke was exactly what he needed - and by the end of tonight's pod, he'd come round. And what a day it was at the Tour. A huge break, GC gaps aplenty and - of course - an absolute clinic from Pog. We are witnessing greatness. Incredibly though... he didn't win our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day. You'll have to listen to find out who claimed the crown today. And we also have a brilliant offer from our friends at Rouleur for July.

A new yellow jersey and the best Yates we've ever seen? | Tour de France stage 10 | Watts Occurring

Bastille Day in France and the Tour usually serves up a route that will cause some drama. Well, today didn't disappoint. A nail-biting wait for young Ben Healy to see if he could nab yellow off Pogacar, a typically classy stage win from the Giro d'Italia winner, and plenty of typical Tour drama aplenty. What a race it is. The new yellow jersey won our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day and Tom and Luke also awarded yesterday's to a rider who achieved a life dream. Pretty special stuff.

An hour into today's Tour stage and news filtered out: Geraint Thomas is in the breakaway. Hold the phone.

Vingegaard, Pogacar and Van der Poel do battle | Tour de France stage two | Watts Occurring

Ben Swift should have been in France right now, battling the weather and the best riders in the world on a brutal stage two at the Tour. But, alas, a shoulder fracture and subsequent illness ruled 'Swifty' out of INEOS' Tour selection, so Luke called him up to get his expert thoughts on the pod. Today's late climbs lived up to the hype - and while the favourites battled it out up front, we were delighted to see G hanging tough behind. Two days in and the Tour is already flying.

Is G still on track for the Tour de France after Suisse? | Watts Occurring

Last week we previewed the Tour de Suisse with an excited G - but this week we had to ask him about an innocuous crash that saw him have to head home from Switzerland early. Has it wrecked his Tour prep? Is he recovered? He answers both of those questions in this week's pod and looks back at the winner in Suisse, the impressive Joao Almeida. And next week? Well, you can expect a Tour de France preview from us - and then the greatest cycling show in the world starts just a few days later... We'll see you then.
