The first African to lead the Tour de France Femme deserves a special bike, and that's why Kim Le Court is riding a yellow Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8

AG Insurance-Soudal's Kim Le Court-Pienaar might be a new name on the women's WorldTour, but she's no stranger to the African cycling community, having competed professionally both on the road and mountain bike in South Africa and Europe. While some of her best results have come off-road (she's won the Absa Cape Epic and Swiss Epic, two of the toughest races on the mountain bike marathon calendar), 2024 represented a breakout year with victories at the Giro d'Italia and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
