It is only the fourth edition of the Tour de France for women in its current form, but the race already has a remarkable history. Last year, we saw a phenomenal finale, in which Kasia Niewiadoma took the overall victory by just four seconds, edging out Demi Vollering, who had crashed earlier in the race. The Dutch rider did win La Grande Boucle in 2023, when she succeeded Annemiek van Vleuten, the first official winner.

Course, favorites stage wins and times Tour de France Femmes 2025
Stage 1, July 26: Vannes - Plumelec (76 km)
At first glance, the ultra-short first stage appears to be flat. But the roads around Plumelec are deceptively hilly. The finish line is crossed three times in the last 40 kilometers: once there is an intermediate sprint, and once there are mountain points to be earned. The road to the finish line climbs 1.7 kilometers at a 6.2% gradient. Definitely not an easy sprint opportunity!

Stage 2, July 27: Brest - Quimper (110.4km)
After the hilly first stage, the riders will get no rest in the second stage. Another difficult stage awaits in Brittany, this time from Brest to Quimper. With four categorized climbs and another difficult finale and finish, we will likely see the same names as on Saturday. But it is still the Tour...

Stage 3, July 28: La Gacilly - Angers (163.5 km)
Finally, one for the fastest ladies! The stage to Angers is significantly less challenging than the one on the opening weekend, so the sprinters will be rubbing their hands with glee after seeing this profile. However, the finish is slightly uphill again, so a power sprint is to be expected.

Stage 4, July 29: Saumur - Poitiers (130.7 km)
A last moment for the sprinters. After the stage to Poitiers, it will mainly be for the classic types and the climbers. The fast women will be aiming for the stage win in stage 4: on paper, this is the easiest stage in the 2025 Tour de France Femmes. But then again, is anything ever easy in the Tour?
Winner

Stage 5, July 30: Chasseneuil-du-Poitou Futuroscope - Guéret (165.8 km)
A flat approach, but the finale towards Guéret will be a delight. After the Côte de Chabannes and Côte de Peyroux, the climb to Le Maupuy is only 7 kilometers from the finish. One for the ladies who show their stuff in the classic spring races. Will there already be a battle for the GC in this hilly stage?
Winner

Stage 6, July 31: Clermont-Ferrand - Ambert (123.7 km)
Climbing, climbing, climbing! The peloton is heading through the Auvergne, where a few tough cols are on the program. Halfway through, the Col du Beal looms, a tough first category climb. Once that is out of the way, the riders will have to tackle the Col du Chansert. The intermediate sprint to Valcivières is not flat either, after which the finish is in the cheese town of Ambert. This is going to be a treat!

Stage 7, Aug. 1: Bourg-en-Bresse - Chambéry (159.7 km)
Bourg-en-Bresse and Chambéry, two well-known Tour locations. These cities will be the start and finish of the seventh stage, which takes place in the low mountains. The Col du Granier will decide the stage, with its summit about 18 kilometers from the finish. It is then a long descent to the finish: one for the breakaway riders, or the women in the GC with guts? We'll find out.

Stage 8, Aug. 2: Chambéry - Saint François Longchamp-Col de la Madeleine (111.9 km)
This is where it all has to happen! The eighth stage is rightly considered the queen stage of the Tour de France Femmes. In almost 112 kilometers, there are ‘only’ three climbs to complete, but they are not just any climbs: the Col de Plainpalais is a huge test to start with, but the focus is on the finish line. The Col de la Madeleine will normally decide the Tour de France Femmes.
Winner

Stage 9, Aug. 3: Praz-sur-Arly - Châtel (124.1 km)
A tough final stage: it's become a tradition in the Tour de France Femmes. This edition is no exception, with a challenging stage featuring no less than 3,000 meters of climbing in just 124 kilometers. However, the most difficult part comes in the middle, with the grueling Col de Joux Plane. The Col du Corbier, 30 kilometers from the finish, is no walk in the park either. Will we see a battle just before the end?

Favorites GC Tour de France Femmes 2025
Please note: the final start list has not yet been announced, so this list of favorites is subject to change.
Last year, only four seconds separated winner Kasia Niewiadoma and Demi Vollering. The Polish rider from Canyon//SRAM is back again this year, as is the Dutch rider from FDJ-SUEZ, who won the Tour in 2023 on behalf of SD Worx-Protime. Vollering already won the Vuelta a España earlier this year and is therefore one of the absolute favorites for the Tour de France.
The only rider to beat the Dutch rider this year is Marlen Reusser. The Swiss rider from Movistar did so in the Tour de Suisse, after which she continued in good form in the Giro d'Italia. There she came up against a slightly stronger Elisa Longo Borghini, who will also be competing in the Tour. The Italian rider from UAE Team ADQ is therefore also among the women to beat.
The Tour will provide an update on Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's progress. The French rider from Visma | Lease a Bike withdrew from the Vuelta in May and has not been in action since.
With the four names already mentioned, all the top contenders appear to be present, while we also see other notable names on the start list. How is Lotte Kopecky doing, for example, after the Belgian withdrew from the Giro at the beginning of this month as a precaution? SD Worx-Protime also has Anna van der Breggen at the start, the Dutch rider who is making her comeback this year.
FDJ-SUEZ can also play Juliette Labous as a wild card alongside Vollering. At the same time, Liv AlUla Jayco has two dangerous riders in the Dutch Silke Smulders and the Spanish Mavi García. CERATIZIT will probably be counting on Sarah Van Dam for a good GC, the Canadian who finished third in the Tour of the Basque Country this year.

- I’m still learning the calendar: is cyclocross mainly preparation for the spring classics, or does he race it as a separate goal as well? I’d love to see him back in the mud.jeremya04-11-2026
- The article makes it sound as if Roubaix is the only classic where he has a realistic shot. He’s been close in Flanders too, and one good tactical day can change everything.jennifer1904-11-2026
- Milan-Sanremo and Roubaix is a pretty special pair of Monuments. Any clues yet on which cyclocross races he’ll target?andrewf04-11-2026
- He’s right to be realistic about Flanders with Pogačar and Evenepoel around, but you can’t count Van Aert out on those roads. If he gets the right opportunity, he has the engine and experience to take it.davidm04-11-2026
- That Roubaix win felt like such a release after all the near-misses. Brilliant to hear that joy outweighed relief for Wout.patriciaw04-11-2026
- Why would a mountain time trial be different from a normal one? Is it just that the riders have to climb the whole course?samanthak03-11-2026
- I don’t quite buy the “fear of failure” argument. Riders can race the Giro and still have confidence in July; it comes down to recovery and planning, doesn’t it?patriciaw03-11-2026
- The Giro-Tour double is a massive ask, even for the very best. Pogačar made it look almost routine in 2024, but that’s hardly a sensible benchmark for everyone else!pedalpowe2903-11-2026
- Bakelants makes a fair point: if the 2027 Tour really suits Remco, he can’t afford to dilute the build-up. That 37km flat TT will be tempting, mind.julien03-11-2026
- Mont Blanc sounds like a spectacular finish, though four climbs on the final day might be a bit much after eight hard stages. Hope the route details are clear soon.raceready703-11-2026
