00:00We are one of the best teams in the world and I think we've proven that.
00:08We're underway with edition two of the Tour de France FEMME.
00:13This is the biggest bike race of the year.
00:15Eight days of racing, 956 kilometers.
00:19To have the Tour de France FEMME as a statement more than anything else.
00:23Come on girls, come on.
00:24It shows where we are in women's racing.
00:27Good job, really nice ladies, really nice.
00:30Everything was fine, everything going to plan and then boom.
00:43After the crash, I found out that I had three fractures in the jaw,
00:49in three places, here, here and here.
00:52Elisa Balsamo has any question mark over her going into the Tour de France FEMME
00:56and that's really worrying.
01:00After the operation, I said that I wanted to go back to the Tour de France.
01:07I just needed a look from my mum and my dad to understand that I could do it.
01:15I'm inspired by Elisa in this moment.
01:21We needed this opportunity, we needed this world stage.
01:25My absolute dream win in cycling would for sure be a Tour de France stage.
01:29Spratty is one of the greatest riders in the world.
01:32I was quite calm because everything just played out as I thought it would.
01:35Sprat's looking really good, she's just keeping her composure here.
01:38Really nice job Spratty, come on girl.
01:43They're one of the few teams that have the ability and the confidence to take a race on.
01:50Little Trek really riding aggressively here.
01:53What I love about this group of riders in this moment of history
01:56is that they are aware of the battle that's been fought because they've been fighting it.
02:01And this is a moment of arrival and it's a celebration with the fans.
02:04We've done it, we're doing it and you're a part of it too.
