<div>Join Rose Manley, Lionel Birnie and Lizzy Banks as our nightly coverage of The Women’s Tour kicks off following the opening stage to Banbury.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Hear from Sophie Wright, teammate of stage winner Marta Bastianelli, and Anna Christian, who launched one of the most persistent attacks of the opening stage.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Plus there’s Lizzie Deignan, who lines up as defending champion and newly-crowned Paris-Roubaix winner, Christine Majerus, Amy Pieters and Elisa Longo Borghini.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Lizzy outlines what we can expect to see over the coming five days after a number of potential winners were ruled out. Will this be a race won by the sprinter who can time trial best or can someone gain enough time against the clock to hold off the time bonus chasers?</div> <div><br> </div> <div>We also ask what the impact of a brutal debut edition of Paris-Roubaix may have on the six-day stage race.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Plus, we discuss Banbury Cakes and ask what the nursery rhyme is all about.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>The Cycling Podcast Féminin is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.<br> <br> Supersapiens is a continuous glucose monitoring system that helps you make the right fuelling choices.
