Meeting some of the character on and off the field at the Women's World Cup

Meeting some of the character  on and off the field and heading their stories as the Women's World Cup finally gets underway

We meet some of the character, on and off the field, as the Women's World Cup finally gets underway.

What does it take to win a stage of the Tour de France, and could anyone do it?!  I think we all know the answer to that, but it hasn't stopped author James Witts. James' new book "Riding with the Rocketmen" is all about his attempt to ride a single stage of the tour, despite being "45 years old with fatty deposits" (his words not ours) So did James complete his challenge, and what did he learn about what athletes have to go through to win that yellow jersey.
