S12 Ep120: Arrivée | Women’s World Championships Road Race

Join Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell as they discuss a thrilling Women’s Elite World Championships Road Race which took place over a punchy 154 kilometres, finishing in Zurich. With an inter-team rivalry at SD Worx that has been building all year, the race was expected to be a showdown between defending World Champion Lotte Kopecky and all-conquering Demi Vollering. But also lining up were Tour de France Femmes champion Kasia Niewiadoma and Giro d’Italia champion Elisa Longo Borghini who come to the race with renewed confidence this year. Young stars like Puck Pieterse and Neve Bradbury also had the chance to prove themselves with a World Champion U23 title on the line in the same race. With the rainbow bands at stake, who will reign supreme?
