Less than a week after the conclusion of the men’s Tour de France, another yellow jersey will be at play at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, the women’s WorldTour’s flagship event.
Now in its fifth edition, this year’s race counts a highly competitive field, with defending champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma-Lease a Bike) and past winners Demi Vollering (FDJ United-SUEZ) and Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon-Sram) already confirmed to compete.
The race begins on 1 August in Lausanne, Switzerland, and will take place over nine stages, including an individual time trial, a summit finish on Mont Ventoux and a final day in Nice.

All 14 Women’s WorldTour teams will be present, as well as seven ProTeams, invited by the organiser, ASO.
Each team is allowed to bring seven riders, giving a maximum start list of 147 riders. This will be the smallest field at the race since its first edition in 2022, when there were 144 starters – 24 teams of six.
The reduction in field this year is due to there being one fewer team on the Women’s WorldTour; Ceratizit and Roland left the top tier at the end of 2025, while only EF Education-Oatly stepped up.
Below is the full, official start list for this year’s Tour de France Femmes.
