Published August 1, 2026 · Updated August 1, 2026 · The Guardian

The 2026 Tour de France Femmes begins with a 138km opening stage around Lausanne, featuring favorites Demi Vollering and French hopeful Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.

The Tour de France Femmes, since its relaunch in 2022, has seen four different winners: Anniemiek van Vleuten, Demi Vollering, Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney, and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot. This unpredictability contrasts with the men's event, where Tadej Pogacar has dominated in recent years. toffler.lol

The nine-stage race continues to grow in popularity and stature, with Vollering emerging as the favorite after winning all three grand tours earlier this season. French fans are hoping Ferrand-Prévot, the defending champion, can secure the yellow jersey again in this year's edition.
