The 2026 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift has its first significant day for the battle for general classification on Tuesday 4 August with stage four’s 21km individual time trial from Gevrey-Chambertin to Dijon.
Last year’s race did not have a time trial, but this year’s rolling effort should see the contenders for yellow split up before the mountains begin properly. There is just one time check, at 9.5km, the Lacets de Marsannay, which is actually the top of a 2km hill at 6.7%. After that, riders will crest the rise to Corcelles-les-Monts, which peaks at 300m at 4.8%. Neither of these climbs are categorised, and it’s downhill to the finish in Dijon.
The first rider will be the lanterne rouge, or last woman on general classification, Romina Hinojosa (Lotto Intermarché) at 2:51pm CEST (1:51pm BST/8:51am EDT). Riders will then set out at minute intervals until Émilie Morier (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93) at 4:48pm, when there will be two-minute gaps all the way to the last rider, Sigrid Haugset (Uno-X Mobility), who took control of the yellow jersey on stage three.
The GC favourites come late in the day, with Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime), a former TT world champion, off at 4:54pm, Antonia Nierdermaier (Canyon-SRAM) at 4:58pm, Vuelta España Femenina champion Paul Blasi (UAE Team L’IMAD) at 5:04pm, and reigning world champion Marlen Reusser (Movistar) at 5:08pm. They’re followed by Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma-Lease a Bike) at 5:10pm, Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) at 5:14pm, Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team L’IMAD) at 5:16pm, and Demi Vollering (FDJ United-Suez) at 5:24pm.
However, it won’t just be the riders aiming for yellow who will aim for a solid ride, with contenders for the stage win also including British champion Zoe Bäckstedt (Canyon-SRAM), who sets of at 4:29pm, Cédrine Kerbaol (EF Education-Oatly) at 5:18pm, and Franziska Koch (FDJ United-Suez) at 3:51pm.
