Watch the Femmes
Hi, I'm Kristen! 👋

 

I've been an athlete and promoter of women's sports my entire life. I grew up primarily as a runner, but in 2014 I married a competitive cyclist and two years later purchased my first bike - a Trek Madone WSD. My husband Tom and I wake up early every year to watch races like the Tour de France.

 

Growing up a runner, I also watch the Boston Marathon every April. I sip coffee and watch the men AND women race the same course, chasing glory AND equal prize money.

 

As I got into bike racing, it didn't take long to realize there was no women's Tour de France to watch and support.

 

But in 2022, wonderful companies like Zwift decided to give the femmes a chance to race! A three year contract was signed and the femmes were told they had these three years to prove they can generate the viewers and financial support to continue the race.

 

This is year two of that contract. Tom and I are building out this little website as a way to get behind these female athletes and push them forward! We want to get as many people to WATCH THE FEMMES as possible.

 

For news about the course, the race strategy, and of course the femmes themselves, follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

 

Thanks and WATCH THE FEMMES!
