The 2026 Tour de France Femmes takes place from August 1-9, featuring nine days of racing. Beginning with the Grand Départ in Switzerland, the peloton will tackle 1,175km and 18,795 metres of elevation gain before finishing in Nice with centrepiece mountain ascents of Mont Ventoux and the Col d’Eze along the way.
Italian rider Laura Tomasi (Uno-X Mobility) was the first rider to abandon the 2026 Tour de France Femmes after crashing on the opening stage which started and finished in Lausanne.
While a selection of riders will be vying for the special classification jerseys for the overall, mountains, points, and best young rider classifications, many will still be aiming for stage wins and riding in support of their team leaders.
All riders aim to finish the nine-day race, but unfortunately, the reality of bike racing is that they will face turbulence along the way that may cause them to abandon the race altogether.
Riders may abandon a stage mid-race after a crash or illness, climbing into a car or being taken away by ambulance instead of finishing. Others will pull out overnight and not start a new stage in the morning.
Riders can also be taken out of the race by the organisation, either by – ‘DNF’ means ‘did not finish’, ‘DNS’ means ‘did not start’, ‘OTL’ means ‘outside time limit’ and ‘DSQ’ means ‘disqualified’.
Here is the list of all the riders who have pulled out of this year’s race so far, which we will keep updated throughout the 2026 Tour de France Femmes.
