There were not one, but in fact, two historic moments in women’s sport at the weekend. The first, as you may be aware, came at Wembley on a joyous night for English football; the other was on a mountain summit in the French Vosges, where Annemiek van Vleuten won the Tour de France Femmes at Super Planche des Belles Filles.
Australia is leading a group of cycling nations pushing for better safety measures to prevent a repeat of the horror crash at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday, when the English rider Matt Walls was catapulted over the velodrome railings and into the crowd.
Adam Blythe and Orla Chennaoui believe that Annemiek van Vleuten's retirement from cycling could be good for the sport, hailing her as an «all-time great» but suggesting that the Dutch rider is perhaps too dominant. Van Vleuten secured overall victory at the Tour de France Femmes, dominating the final two stages of the race to take a commanding win more than three minutes ahead of Demi Vollering despite struggling with illness during the opening days of the Tour.
A camera motorbike toppled over as it tried to track Annemiek van Vleuten’s progress up the brutal Super Planche des Belles Filles climb at the Tour de France Femmes on Sunday. As the Movistar rider closed on a final-stage victory in the yellow jersey, the motorbike's lens was diligently fixed upon her as it crawled alongside the Dutchwoman. Ad/> But such was the iconic ramp’s steepness, topping out at 24%, it started to grind to a halt before rolling backwards near the summit and awkwardly falling to eject its driver and camera operator.
As althletes continue to view for gold, silver and bronze in Birmingham, here are all the Scots who have appeared on the podium.
Dani Rowe and Dani Christmas revelled in the huge crowds who turned out on La Super Planche des Belles Filles to watch the conclusion of the inaugural Tour de France Femmes. Movistar's Annemiek van Vleuten secured overall victory with another dominant climbing performance, surviving the steep slopes and gravel sections of the iconic Vosges Mountain summit finish. Ad/> Van Vleuten and the rest of the women's peloton were roared all the way to the top by a great throng of supporters who had gathered to watch the race's conclusion.
