LOCATION

This second edition of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will head south.

3 regions – Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie – and 11 departments will feature on the race route.

STAGES

There will be 8 stages:

  • 4 flat stages

  • 2 hilly stages

  • 1 mountain stage with a summit finish on the Tourmalet

  • 1 individual time trial
  • The 4th stage, Cahors > Rodez (177km), will be the race’s longest.

MOUNTAINS

The route features two mountain ranges, the tests getting progressively harder. The riders will cross from one side of the Massif Central to the other during the first six stages, their profiles alternating between rolling and very hilly. There will then be longer climbs in the Pyrenees during stage 7 in the shape of the Aspin and Tourmalet passes, the latter being the “roof” of the Tour at an altitude of 2,110m.

This second edition will conclude with a 22km individual time trial around Pau.
