An interview with two-time Olympic gold medalist, two-time FIFA World Cup Champion, and U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team member Tobin Heath and 2023 Tour de France Femmes Winner Demi Vollering. Tobin Heath sits down with Demi Vollering ahead of this year's Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift to discuss the upcoming race and what it means to be a professional female athlete today. The two talk about the power of language when it comes to women's sports (Should we call the men's race the Tour de France Hommes?) and the challenges of closing the gender pay gap. Demi gives us a breakdown of this year's race and offers some training advice to motivate all the cyclists out there. We also find out how Demi comes up with titles for her Strava activities and what counts as a "slow" pace for her climbs (hint: it's actually really fast).
