Hello and we are here to talk about stage four of the Tour de France Feme of X Swift. Swift is also the partner of this episode. Thank you so much to Zweft for supporting the

Freewailing podcast. It's if you've listened to any episodes you know that I am

absolutely obsessed with Swift.

My favorite thing about it is that it's super efficient.

I don't need to stress about what the weather is outside.

I don't need to worry about how much clothes I'm going to wear. I can just throw on the same thing every single day, hop on there, and because you're riding the trainer, you're getting a very, very effective workout in a super short amount of time

plus SWIFT has a bunch of built-in workouts on the platform so you can go on there

select something that you want to do that day.

It sets the power on the screen for you.

So it's super easy to follow along.

They even have workout plans set out by professional coaches and even former athletes on there.

So you can work on your fitness with the professionals every single day,

although rest stays are key, so definitely do that. So thank you so much to Zwif

for sponsoring this episode and for supporting freewheeling and most of all for bringing us the Tour de France Femme of X Swift.

38 kilometers to go. So with the with the peloton it basically split apart on the first gravel section and we found ourselves with a very select group of about 25 to 30 riders which then split again on the third gravel section. We had a select group of about 12 to 15 including all the GC contenders and then a couple of riders like Ruby Roseman Gannon who had made that split and then I guess the talking point now as we're looking at the screen with three kilometers to go is that Marlon Russo put in a huge move with 23 kilometers to go and

absolutely no one reacted which is surprising considering you know she's a silver medalist in Olympic time trials and the world championship and she's done this before right like this is a writer you just don't let go you get on the front you drill it you get
