Rouleur #137 – Tour de France Femmes

Rouleur #137 is a full celebration of the Tour de France Femmes, diving into the triumphs, heartbreaks, and untold stories shaping women’s cycling today. At its heart is an exclusive at-home interview with Demi Vollering, the favourite for this year’s race, who reflects on the pressure, balance, and ambition of competing at the very highest level.

The issue revisits last year’s unforgettable Tour through the eyes of those who were there—witnessing a yellow jersey won by just four seconds on the legendary Alpe d’Huez. It also looks back to the 1980s Tour Féminin, explores Kim Le Court’s remarkable rise, and examines how training programmes must evolve to serve women athletes better. Beyond the Tour, readers meet the Iraqi National Women’s Cycling Team, discover the beauty and challenge of the Tour Féminin International des Pyrénées, and learn how ultra-cycling is striving for greater female participation.

Packed with reportage, interviews, and striking photography, this issue is both a tribute to the Tour de France Femmes and a wider celebration of women pushing cycling into the future.
