Let the Games begin 🇫🇷
Paris 2024 is upon us
Hello lovely subscribers and welcome to Women’s Cycling Weekly! 🚴♀️
The Olympics have officially begun! Who else just sat through that fever dream of an opening ceremony?
Anyway, the cycling already starts from tomorrow with the time trial and then it’s over to Élancourt for the women’s MTB on Sunday. I can’t wait to see how it all plays out!
Enjoy the newsletter :)
