Tour de France Femmes sprinters – The fastest women in road cycling go head-to-head for a chance at the yellow jersey in opening stages

The 2025 Tour de France Femmes kicks off on Saturday with a hilly Grand Départ in Brittany as the first half of the nine-day race brings the focus onto the fast women.

Sprinters and puncheurs should all be in contention on the opening two stages and two flatter finishes heading east, before the roads angle upwards into the hills and mountains towards the finish in Châtel.
