nine-day race.<\/p>\n<p>Each day, the UCI commissaires at the race cast their eye over the goings on in the peloton as the race makes its way across from the Grand D\u00e9part in Lausanne, Switzerland, to Nice, France, from August 1-9. The eagle-eyed jury can spot a sticky bottle or a rider illegally littering from a mile off.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-e4221cde-89fe-11f1-bb19-bbb0584346ad-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">More dangerous infractions are also penalised, with commissaires now able to enforce cycling&#8217;s new yellow card system. Two yellow cards within 30 days result in a rider being disqualified from the race and receiving a seven-day suspension, while three yellow cards within the same 30-day period lead to a 14-day ban.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Day one of the race has already delivered a wad of fines, including a penalty for Alice Towers (EF Education-Oatly) for disposing of a bidon outside of the litter zone, and a number of sports directors were also penalised with both a fine and yellow card due to breaches of vehicle movement instructions.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Then there was also a list of warnings for riding on the sidewalk, with defending champion Pauline Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot (Visma-Lease a Bike) among those given a caution. Under the UCI regulation cited in the warning, if a penalty had been applied instead of a warning the consequences could have included a fine of up to 500CHF, 15 points from UCI rankings, a yellow card and \u2013 importantly for the overall contenders \u2013 a 20 second time penalty. In serious cases disqualification from the race is also among the options. Alison Jackson (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93) also received a warning for a non-compliant position.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HS3UdksT5QSnRq9FRFS4jf-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HS3UdksT5QSnRq9FRFS4jf-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">La Vuelta Femenina penalties, fines and yellow cards <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JzdkqXgEpAJTDNXBucpbK4-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JzdkqXgEpAJTDNXBucpbK4-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Giro d&#8217;Italia Women penalties, fines \u2013 AG Insurance Soudal adds three more yellow cards on final day of racing<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iwsWCGTeFNxYAbspuFLLZR-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iwsWCGTeFNxYAbspuFLLZR-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Tour de France penalties, fines and yellow cards \u2013 Three riders found guilty of infractions on stage 20 with Sepp Kuss hardest hit for littering<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Read on for the complete list of yellow cards, fines, and penalties at the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, as well as a list of infractions that could see a rider handed a yellow card.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"yellow-cards-fines-and-penalties-at-the-2026-tour-de-france-femmes-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Yellow cards, fines, and penalties at the 2026 Tour de France Femmes<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\" id=\"section-stage-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span>Stage 1<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul id=\"elk-924acfe6-8e04-11f1-ab8c-050c4408e555\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<li>Alice Towers (EF Education-Oatly) &#8211;

nine-day race.<\/p>\n<p>Each day, the UCI commissaires at the race cast their eye over the goings on in the peloton as the race makes its way across from the Grand D\u00e9part in Lausanne, Switzerland, to Nice, France, from August 1-9. The eagle-eyed jury can spot a sticky bottle or a rider illegally littering from a mile off.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-e4221cde-89fe-11f1-bb19-bbb0584346ad-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">More dangerous infractions are also penalised, with commissaires now able to enforce cycling&#8217;s new yellow card system. Two yellow cards within 30 days result in a rider being disqualified from the race and receiving a seven-day suspension, while three yellow cards within the same 30-day period lead to a 14-day ban.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Day one of the race has already delivered a wad of fines, including a penalty for Alice Towers (EF Education-Oatly) for disposing of a bidon outside of the litter zone, and a number of sports directors were also penalised with both a fine and yellow card due to breaches of vehicle movement instructions.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Then there was also a list of warnings for riding on the sidewalk, with defending champion Pauline Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot (Visma-Lease a Bike) among those given a caution. Under the UCI regulation cited in the warning, if a penalty had been applied instead of a warning the consequences could have included a fine of up to 500CHF, 15 points from UCI rankings, a yellow card and \u2013 importantly for the overall contenders \u2013 a 20 second time penalty. In serious cases disqualification from the race is also among the options. Alison Jackson (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93) also received a warning for a non-compliant position.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HS3UdksT5QSnRq9FRFS4jf-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HS3UdksT5QSnRq9FRFS4jf-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">La Vuelta Femenina penalties, fines and yellow cards <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JzdkqXgEpAJTDNXBucpbK4-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JzdkqXgEpAJTDNXBucpbK4-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Giro d&#8217;Italia Women penalties, fines \u2013 AG Insurance Soudal adds three more yellow cards on final day of racing<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iwsWCGTeFNxYAbspuFLLZR-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iwsWCGTeFNxYAbspuFLLZR-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Tour de France penalties, fines and yellow cards \u2013 Three riders found guilty of infractions on stage 20 with Sepp Kuss hardest hit for littering<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Read on for the complete list of yellow cards, fines, and penalties at the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, as well as a list of infractions that could see a rider handed a yellow card.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"yellow-cards-fines-and-penalties-at-the-2026-tour-de-france-femmes-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Yellow cards, fines, and penalties at the 2026 Tour de France Femmes<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\" id=\"section-stage-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span>Stage 1<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul id=\"elk-924acfe6-8e04-11f1-ab8c-050c4408e555\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<li>Alice Towers (EF Education-Oatly) &#8211;

The eagle-eyed jury can spot a sticky bottle or a rider illegally littering from a mile off.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-e4221cde-89fe-11f1-bb19-bbb0584346ad-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">More dangerous infractions are also penalised, with commissaires now able to enforce cycling&#8217;s new yellow card system. Two yellow cards within 30 days result in a rider being disqualified from the race and receiving a seven-day suspension, while three yellow cards within the same 30-day period lead to a 14-day ban.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Day one of the race has already delivered a wad of fines, including a penalty for Alice Towers (EF Education-Oatly) for disposing of a bidon outside of the litter zone, and a number of sports directors were also penalised with both a fine and yellow card due to breaches of vehicle movement instructions.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Then there was also a list of warnings for riding on the sidewalk, with defending champion Pauline Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot (Visma-Lease a Bike) among those given a caution. Under the UCI regulation cited in the warning, if a penalty had been applied instead of a warning the consequences could have included a fine of up to 500CHF, 15 points from UCI rankings, a yellow card and \u2013 importantly for the overall contenders \u2013 a 20 second time penalty. In serious cases disqualification from the race is also among the options. Alison Jackson (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93) also received a warning for a non-compliant position.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HS3UdksT5QSnRq9FRFS4jf-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HS3UdksT5QSnRq9FRFS4jf-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">La Vuelta Femenina penalties, fines and yellow cards <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JzdkqXgEpAJTDNXBucpbK4-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JzdkqXgEpAJTDNXBucpbK4-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Giro d&#8217;Italia Women penalties, fines \u2013 AG Insurance Soudal adds three more yellow cards on final day of racing<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iwsWCGTeFNxYAbspuFLLZR-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iwsWCGTeFNxYAbspuFLLZR-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Tour de France penalties, fines and yellow cards \u2013 Three riders found guilty of infractions on stage 20 with Sepp Kuss hardest hit for littering<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Read on for the complete list of yellow cards, fines, and penalties at the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, as well as a list of infractions that could see a rider handed a yellow card.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"yellow-cards-fines-and-penalties-at-the-2026-tour-de-france-femmes-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Yellow cards, fines, and penalties at the 2026 Tour de France Femmes<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\" id=\"section-stage-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span>Stage 1<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul id=\"elk-924acfe6-8e04-11f1-ab8c-050c4408e555\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<li>Alice Towers (EF Education-Oatly) &#8211;
