The route of the third edition of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift has been revealed, alongside confirmation of the route for the men’s Tour de France race.
Similar to the men’s race, the Tour de France Femmes for elite female riders differs from previous years, adapting to the organisation of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The peloton of the world’s women’s cycling elite will gather in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, for the event’s first international Grand Départ on August 12, 2024.
After eight stages and a total of 946km, addressed first to the sprinter-rouleurs, then to classics racers and finally to the best climbers, the overall finish will be at the Alpe d’Huez resort on August 18, 2024.
In 2023, the Pyrenees and Tourmalet were conquered, and the exploration of high-altitude summits will continue for the women’s peloton.
The programme for the final weekend of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes includes a decisive battle in the Alps for the title and podium places. On Saturday, there will be a mountain stage in Le Grand-Bornand with a climb to the top of the Chinaillon to finish the day’s 3,100m of altitude gain.
The following day’s total will be close to the 4,000m mark, to be climbed over a distance of 150km, once again on the roads of a Tour legend: the Col du Glandon and the iconic climb of Alpe d’Huez.
