Our three-week daily ritual is finished, for now. We were treated to some intense battles on the road, witnessed devastating crashes, and watched as the peloton navigated some of the most severe heat in Tour (and French) history, proving why heat training has become the latest non-negotiable of the Tour de France training plan going forward.<\/p>\n

With so many highs and lows, Le Tour never fails to keep us viewers and journalists alike on our toes. Recently crowned five-time champion Tadej Poga\u010dar and the rest of the peloton, staff, and organizers can finally rest. We viewers can turn away from the TV screens for now. But worry not, there is more bike racing action right around the corner.<\/p>\n

This Saturday, August 1, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift gets underway in Switzerland. And Velo<\/i> will be covering every moment of it, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n

For now, relive all the moments of the Tour de France, from week one, week two and week three (below) captured through the lenses of the Ashley and Jered Gruber.<\/p>\n
