With only nine stages at the Tour de France Femmes, a relegation, time penalty or yellow card can carry consequences far beyond the immediate result. Sprint deviations, sticky bottles, feeding breaches and littering offences can all affect stage placings, jersey battles and the shape of a riders ra...

The Tour of Denmark will be taking place from the 29th of July to the 2nd of August. After the Tour de France, it is the first high-level stage race, suiting several different types of riders in a traditionally explosive race.Below, you'll find the stages, profiles, and information on how to watch...

Lotte Kopecky spent around 40 minutes without water during the opening stage of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes after missing the feed zone, leaving her struggling badly on the climbs around Lausanne. The Team SD Worx Protime rider had been one of the leading alternatives for the uphill finish if t...

If anyone knows the importance of four seconds, its Demi Vollering. Two years ago, it was the gap that kept her from the top step at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, the time between her and the race winner Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-Sram) the smallest winning margin in the races history. Stage one of this year's edition might not prove so decisive. But two years on, on the opening day in Lausanne, the four seconds fell in her favour. Third over the line behind the stage winner Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) and Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal), Vollering's bonus seconds earned her early bragging rights over her main GC rivals. It's a narrow advantage, yes, inconsequential perhaps. And yet Vollering's memories from 2024 will tell her that even the most marginal lead can't be understated. I wanted more, she said afterwards. Of course, I wanted to get yellow, but in the end I got some seconds for the GC and I think the whole Tour will be like that. And I fought for the podium, that also feels good. Arriving back to her team paddock on the shore of Lake Geneva, Vollering headed straight for the ice bath within a white truck beside her team bus. She smiled as she chatted with her team-mates, and then again with the Dutch media, explaining that she feels more relaxed this year than previously. "Last year I woke up every morning and I thought, 'Shit, another morning closer to the Tour'," she said of her preparation. "This time I woke up every morning and I was super motivated and excited." It was against this backdrop that Vollering plotted her stage-winning bid on day one. With 1.3km to go, however, her attack was almost foiled before it happened, when she was forced to unclip her foot from her pedal to avoid a pile-up. She then re-composed herself, shot off the front of the pack inside the final kilometre, and held her speed for to finish third. The fact I got back and still had power in the legs, Im satisfied about that, she said. Speaking to Cycling Weekly, Vollerings FDJ United-SUEZ sports director, Lars Boom, reflected on a "good day" for the team. Of course, you hope to do better, he said. But no, we did good, I think, and the team is doing well. Of course, you want to gain a few seconds every day. Of course, you try to win today. It didnt work out, but youre third, so not too bad. There was less fist-bumping over by the Visma-Lease a Bike bus. There, Pauline Ferrand-Prvot eighth on stage one warmed down on her time trial bike, her head nestled in her hands, so focused that the world around her seemed to stand still. She pedalled for so long that the TV camera crews waiting to interview her eventually ran out of patience and left. To Ferrand-Prvot, who won the Tour by almost four minutes last year, four seconds may have seemed negligible. But with eight tough stages still to come, including a time trial and a summit finish on Mont Ventoux, any advantage matters. For now, the upper hand, albeit a very small one, belongs to Vollering.

Lorena Wiebes won the opening stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in Lausanne on Saturday, taking the first yellow jersey of the race after out-sprinting Kim Le Court-Pienaar and Demi Vollering on the uphill finish.Billed as a flat stage, the 138km loop out of Lausanne was anything but. Four categorised climbs steadily thinned the bunch on a hot Swiss National Day, with Charlotte Kool dropped on the Cte de Villars-le-Comte and Lotte Kopecky losing contact on the Cte de Vulliens. That left the SD Worx-Protime leader as her teams card on the final 2.6km rise to the line.Anna van der Breggen delivered Wiebes inside the last kilometre before Vollering went clear with 700m to go. Le Court-Pienaar followed the move, but Wiebes held the wheel and launched at 400m neither could respond. Puck Pieterse took fourth ahead of Noemi Regg and Elisa Longo Borghini, with Kasia Niewiadoma seventh and Pauline Ferrand-Prvot eighth.A four-rider break of Idoia Eraso, Maud Rijnbeek, Nikola Noskov and Ocane Mah had built a lead of around six minutes before being reeled in with 6km left. Mah took maximum points over the first two climbs to claim the polka-dot jersey, while Noskov was named most combative rider.Crashes marked a nervous opening day. Zoe Bckstedt, Le Court-Pienaar and several Fenix-Premier Tech riders were held up early; Christina Schweinberger rode on with a strapped wrist. Laura Tomasi went down alongside Lotte Claes and Picnic PostNL riders, and after an on-road concussion assessment became the first abandon of the 2026 race. Alison Avoine finished outside the time limit, leaving 145 riders in the general classification.Our RidersFiona Mangan was the leading Irish rider on the opening day, taking 54th at 1:05 and sitting 54th overall at 1:15 a solid ride on a day that shed a lot of the bunch. Mia Griffin, caught up in a crash, came home 134th in a group at 14:54 and starts Sundays stage to Geneva 15:04 down on general classification.IRLIrish Riders Stage 1Stage placing gap to Wiebes54Fiona

The route of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes has been announced this morning in Paris, and it features a very difficult route that differs quite a lot from this year's. The time trials are back at next year's edition, and we will have a mythical first-time summit finish at Mont Ventoux, with a finale...

Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx - Protime) is leading the Tour de France Femmes after her blistering sprint to claim stage one.Wiebes got the better of the GC riders on an uphill finish in Lausanne, and, thanks to the bonus seconds on the line, now leads the GC with a four second advantage of Kim Le Court-Pienaar, and a six second advantage over Demi Vollering (FDJ United - SUEZ)Its the second time Wiebes will wear the yellow jersey, having become the first ever rider to wear it at the start of the races inaugural edition, four years ago.Wiebes also leads the points classification, despite not competing for points at the intermediate sprint. Charlotte Kool (Fenix-Premier Tech) was the only rider from the peloton to sprint at the intermediate sprint. In the King of the Mountains classification, Ocane Mah (Ma Petite Entreprise) will wear the polka-dot jersey on stage two, having gotten into the days break, and picked up eight points.Finally, Paula Blasi (UAE Team L'IMAD) will wear the white jersey as the races best young rider, on the same time as Isabella Holmgren (Lidl-Trek) and Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon-SRAM).TOUR DE FRANCE FEMMES 2026: GENERAL CLASSIFICATION AFTER STAGE ONE1.
