At Paris-Roubaix Femmes she provided one of the moments of the race upon realising she had made the podium ahead of the masterful Marianne Vos.Georgi recently rode to second place overall at the Baloise Ladies Tour behind Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) and lines up at the Tour de France Femmes to help the team in their goals of stage wins with sprinter Charlotte Kool and a strong result on GC for Juliette Labous.Becky Storrie (DSM-Firmenich-PostNL) Luc Claessen/Getty Images)Becky Storrie will also be on the start line of the Tour de France Femmes for DSM-Firmenich-PostNL, helping Georgi with the team goals of stage wins and a good GC placing. She has had a steady season of riding at the UAE Tour, Setmana Ciclista Valenciana and the Tour de Suisse.Storrie broke her collarbone in a training accident earlier in the year before La Flche Wallonne and missed a month of racing. A crash at the recent Giro dItalia Women was initially reported as a re-fracture for the Manx rider, however it was confirmed to be the same collarbone break, just still in the process of healing. She withdrew from the race on the next stage.Her last victory came from a solo attack at the Lincoln Grand Prix in 2022 when riding for CAMS-Basso.Natalie Grinczer (Roland)A.S.O./Charly LopezNatalie Grinczer stepped up to WorldTour level this season with Roland Cycling and raced in the Classics of the Amstel Gold Race, La Flche Wallonne and Lige-Bastogne-Lige. Unfortunately, Grinczer crashed heavily at La Vuelta Femenina in May and during her recovery stated she could remember nothing about it and that it left her with lingering challenges.A mid-season transfer last year to Lifeplus-Wahoo following financial difficulties with French Continental team Stade Rochelais Charente-Maritime gave her a last-minute spot on the Tour de France Femmes start list. She placed 30th overall.In a previous interview with Cyclist, she said, Im not going to take each day for granted. Im definitely not going to hide away until tomorrow because your race can be taken away at any moment.Lizzie Holden (UAE Team ADQ)A.S.O./Thomas MaheuxLizzie Holden signed for UAE Team ADQ in 2023 and won the National ITT Championship that same year, finishing 14 seconds ahead of Anna Morris.

She recently won a stunning silver medal in the time-trial at the Olympic Games behind Australias Grace Brown and thrives in races against the clock, winning the British ITT Champion title for the second time this year.
