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.
