The start date for the Tour de France Femmes 2024 will be different than usual as a result of the clash with the Paris Olympic games, which has forced the organisers to search for a new date which has yet to be finalised.
It was officially confirmed by Tour director Christian Prudhomme. “The riders go to the Olympics in the wake of the Tour de France, and so we have to change the date,” Prudhomme told BiciPro.
Not only has the women's edition been affected, but the men's edition of the Tour de France has also been impacted. The men's Tour will take place from June 29 to July 19, 2024, and there is speculation that the women's edition may coincide with the men's tour.
The timing of the Tour de France Femmes holds major significance for Olympic-bound riders, who need time to perform at their best, followed by adequate recovery time to get ready for the Olympic Games.
