The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is back for its fifth edition on Saturday, August 1, and it’s back with a bang.
Mont Ventoux, Col d’Eze, and the race’s first time trial since 2024 await the best of the women’s peloton in the marquee 9-day race.
Three former Tour de France Femmes champions and a rising sensation will toe the startline Saturday in Lausanne.
Demi Vollering, Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney, and Pauline Ferrand-Prevot will roll out of the Swiss grand départ hunting a second yellow jersey.
Established GC names Elisa Longo Borghini, Anna van der Breggen, and Marlen Reusser will be joined by season revelation Paula Blasi in trying to take them down.
Marianne Vos, Lotte Kopecky, super-sprinter Lorena Wiebes, and USA’s Olympic champion Kristen Faulkner are other names to watch in a super-strength grand tour peloton.
