2024 Olympic Games force Tour de France Femmes into calendar change
CyclingFriday, 10 February 2023 at 03:00
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.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
