ON TO @tourdegatineau 🇨🇦 On Monday, we completed the 7 stages of the UCI 2.1 Tour de l'Ardeche 🇫🇷. This race, with its difficult courses and complicated logistics, always pushes our limits. Facing strong competition from WorldTour teams and some of Europe's best Continental squads only heightens the challenge. Coming to this race as a visiting team from the Americas, we embrace every hurdle with determination. We're immensely proud of our riders and staff for their outstanding performance. We finished with two stage podiums, rode in the U23 GC Leader and Most Combative jerseys, and had top 15 placements every day.

Queen 👑 Stage

@tcfia.siteofficiel – Stage 4 –
Queen 👑 Stage @tcfia.siteofficiel - Stage 4 - Marvejols > Mont Lozere Today’s 100km stage featured 2,000m of climbing and an epic finish atop Mont Lozere. With three Category 2 climbs and a Category 1 climb we knew this was going to be the toughest day during this 7-day tour. Our plan was two-prong with a breakaway attempt and climbers in the chase. @franzyprawnzy tried several times to attack, but kept getting brought back by an attentive field. After a Canyon rider and and Team USA rider got away, Heidi traded attacks with @carbike and was finally able to get separation and bridge creating a 3-rider breakaway. This long-lasting break (approx 50km, the only established breakaway of the race) was able to build a stable gap until turning into a headwind where 3 riders were no match for the charging peloton. The three riders were caught at the base of the penultimate climb where Human Powered Heath, UAE, and FDJ also had plans to launch their climbers. In the end we just didn’t have the legs to match the pace. We are still proud of Heidi’s courageous move and know that this just gives her and our team more motivation. Two more stages in the Tour de l’Ardeche, tomorrow we race from Saint Felicien to Tain l’Hermitage, 126km and about 1600m of climbing. Photos by @flotographie73 #itsourdna

A few shots from The Powless Show: Today @shaynapo
A few shots from The Powless Show: Today @shaynapowless took one for the team by attacking the field 14km into the 102km race. She was joined first by two riders, then five more to make an 8 rider break. The breakaway worked well together until splitting up on the 4th categorized climb of the day at 78km. All 8 riders still managed to stay ahead of the field by the finish line. Shayna ended up in 6th place putting her 5th place in the GC. @sarahmvandam is now 10th in GC and 2nd in the U23 GC, a single second off of first. #itsourdna #irideenve #rudyprojectna #ceramicspeed #rotorbike #firstendurance #jobdox #hangar15bicycles #arundelonboard #dnacycling

Tour de l’Ardeche – Stage 3 – Avignon>Avignon


Tour de l’Ardeche - Stage 3 - Avignon>Avignon DNA finishes with another podium! 🥈💕 Today’s @tcfia.siteofficiel stage was one of the flatter, faster stages of this year’s Tour - only 538m of climbing over 120km. Two three-rider breakaways stayed away from the field for most of the day with the big teams controlling the front of the peloton. DNA and Human Powered Health, aiming for a sprint finish, each sent riders to the front in the last 15km to chase. The breakaway was caught with about 6km and DNA and HPH set up their respective sprinters for the technical last km. Sarah Van Dam finished in 2nd place, congrats to @dariapikulik of @hphcycling on the win 🥇 📷: @flotographie73 #itsourdna #irideenve #rudyprojectna #ceramicspeed #rotorbike #firstendurance #jobdox #hangar15bicycles #arundelonboard #dnacycling
