What is a Tour de France rider’s resting heart rate? | BikeRadar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As specialist endurance athletes, the resting heart rate (RHR) of a Tour de France cyclist is very low. According to Bicycling’s 2022 analysis of elite riders’ performance, women on team Canyon//SRAM Racing recorded RHRs ranging from around 35 to 60 beats per minute (bpm), with some riders even lower. A 2022 sleep study conducted at the 2022 Tour de France Femmes, followed a group of riders before, during and after the race, tracking metrics including RHR and recovery. The researchers found ride
Do women ride the same bikes as men at the Tour de France? | BikeRadar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At first glance, men’s and women’s Tour de France bikes look almost identical – and, in many ways, they are. Both groups of riders race on the same WorldTour-level machines, built to identical UCI regulations, using the same framesets, groupsets and wheels. The days of fundamentally different women’s bikes with gender-specific geometry, at the top level, are largely over. But there are differences, and those even inform the bikes riders choose for some stages. Women are, on average, smaller than
How many hours a night do Tour de France riders sleep? | BikeRadar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recovery is essential to success at a Grand Tour, if you want to turn up and do it all again the next morning, at the end of a stage, for weeks at a time, across an entire season.

Dr Sarah Gilchrist, who has a doctorate in sleep and athletic performance, told BikeRadar that deep sleep is “where recuperation and restoration happens. It is where growth hormone is released, glucose
How much does a Tour de France Femmes bike cost? | BikeRadar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The bikes used in the Tour de France Femmes typically cost between £12,000 and £13,000, based on retail pricing. However, that eye-watering headline figure comes with a bidon-full of salt. Most teams do not buy their bikes in the usual sense. Instead, they are supplied by sponsors as part of commercial agreements. Cycling tech is central to the sport and the Tour de France Femmes is one of its biggest shop windows. Getting a bike under a winning rider delivers global exposure, so brands provide
Is doping a problem at the Tour de France? | BikeRadar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Doping scandals at the Tour de France shaped the sport’s reputation for years. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, performance-enhancing drugs were widespread in the peloton. The Festina affair exposed organised team-wide doping, while Lance Armstrong’s case later revealed how deeply embedded it had become at the very top of the sport. Armstrong won seven Tours between 1999 and 2005 before being stripped of his titles after admitting to systematic doping. His downfall has cast a long shadow over
