The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is underway, with eight stages over seven days, ending on Sunday, 18 August, from Rotterdam to Alpe d'Huez.
Among those confirmed as racing the Tour are defending champion - and hot favourite - Demi Vollering for SD Worx-Protime, the Olympic road race champion Kristen Faulkner for EF-Oatly-Cannondale, and Olympic time trial gold medallist Grace Brown for FDJ-Suez.
22 teams of seven riders will take part in the Tour: the 15 Women's WorldTour teams, along with seven invited Continental squads: Cofidis, EF-Oatly-Cannondale, Tashkent City, St Michel-Mavic-Auber93, Lotto Dstny, Laboral Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi and Arkéa-B&B Hotels. Tashkent, in particular, are interesting - the Uzbekistani team received invitations to all WorldTour events in 2024 because of UCI points scored, largely at the Uzbekistan National Championships last year.
The strongest squad is invariably SD Worx-Protime, with defending champion Vollering, and three-time stage winner Lorena Wiebes, but teams like Lidl-Trek, Movistar, Canyon-SRAM and FDJ-Suez will look to upset the status quo.
One notable name absent from the Tour for the first time is Annemiek van Vleuten, who hung up our wheels at the end of last year, after winning the inaugaural race in 2022. Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) will hope to go one better than two successive third-places at the event, especially now she has broken her streak of not winning races. Her Australian teammate Neve Bradbury recently finished third at the Giro d'Italia Women, and so will be one to watch on the road to Alpe d'Huez.
It is unknown whether Giro champion Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) will be present, but other top-five GC finishers Juliette Labous (dsm-firmenich PostNL) and Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix-Deceuninck) are racing. Second at the Vuelta Femenina, Riejanne Markus (Visma-Lease a Bike) and stage winner Évita Muzic (FDJ-Suez) are also unconfirmed, but are expected to be on the startline.
Here are the announced teams and riders for the 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
