Cyclists Rally Against Sydney Sweeney Nude-Betting Ad Over Female Sport Stereotypes

Professional cyclists including Demi Vollering, Sophie Capewell and Maddy Nutt joined a global backlash to Sydney Sweeney’s naked betting advert, arguing it sexualises women’s sport and undermines progress toward normalising female athletes. Vollering and Capewell spoke out about the issue, with Vollering posting a message about wanting athletes to be seen for what they can do, not how they look. Nutt released a video addressing Sweeney, saying the ad is tacky and not representative of female athletes, while also viewing the backlash as an opportunity to highlight women’s sport and body positivity. The controversy has drawn widespread criticism from sportswomen worldwide and sparked discussions on how women in sport are portrayed in advertising.

Vollering and FDJ Dominate Tour de France Femmes Prize Money as Mayenne-Monbana-MyPie Earns Nothing

The event’s total women’s prize pot (€260k) remains far smaller than the men’s (€2.5m), underscoring the ongoing pay gap in the sport.

Van der Breggen Poised to Break Through as SD Worx Targets Top-Five at Tour de France Femmes

SD Worx–Protime enters the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift with a pragmatic goal of a top-five GC and a stage win, led by Anna van der Breggen who is a genuine overall title contender. Team sports director Danny Stam calls the race likely to be open due to the tough, varied course, with the time trial not expected to create decisive gaps and breakaways expected to decide many stages; Van der Breggen arrives after recent runner-up finishes in the Vuelta a España Feminina and Giro d’Italia Women in 2026.

ASO defends shorter Paris-Roubaix Femmes broadcast amid Bas Tietema controversy

ASO race director Thierry Gouvenou defended trimming Paris-Roubaix Femmes coverage to about 90 minutes on the same day as the men, arguing a larger Sunday audience offsets fewer minutes and citing Nord region logistics; he said the women’s race was scheduled after the men to align with other classics and addressed funding challenges in women’s cycling, noting sponsorship withdrawals like Zwift. Gouvenou also referenced a 2022 incident where Bas Tietema’s social-media content disrupted road closures, calling him a moron, but insisted there is no personal rift and that sport comes first while acknowledging the ongoing budget realities for women’s racing.

"Women's Road Cycling Shorts: Gore Distance Bib Shorts+ 2.0 Review"

The Gore Distance Bib Shorts+ 2.0 Women's are designed for long-distance cycling and offer outstanding comfort. The bib straps are comfortable and secure, and the chamois performs brilliantly. The shorts are made from an ultra-fine knit polyamide/elastane mix, with a soft reinforced waistband. The legs are laser-cut with subtle silicone grippers, and seams are minimized throughout. The only issue is with sizing, which may require trying on before purchasing. Overall, these are excellent bib shorts for women's cycling.
