The bike throw between Lizzie Deignan and Marianne Vos in a final sprint at last year's race has kept cycling fans wanting more as we head to La Course by Le Tour de France set to take place on Saturday in Brest.

It has been one of the most popular events on the Women's WorldTour but this year could mark its last - at least on the top-tier calendar - as it will be replaced by the official launch of the Tour de France Femmes in 2022.
