2024 Tour de France Femmes set to feature Alpe d'Huez summit finish
CyclingMonday, 16 October 2023 at 10:45
The Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes routes for 2024 are taking shape and with little time to the route reveal, most details are already agreed on. One that seems quite likely at this point, revealed this morning, is that the Alpe d'Huez should headline the women's race.
Ever since it's return only last year in 2022 the race has been a tremendous success. The eight-day race not only lures in the biggest figures of the female peloton in a time where a lot of eyes are locked in cycling, but the racing has also been spectacular. Furthermore, harder and harder summit finishes have been added to the Grand Tours, bolstering it's reputation. That was the case with the Planche des Belles Filles and the Col du Tourmalet, and in 2024 the Alpe d'Huez...
Whilst it is not yet guarranteed, the Dauphiné Libéré assures with a high degree of certainty that this will be happening. The 2024 Tour de France ends in Nice and the women's route is not yet known - but should also be in the southeastern region of France. The weekend in which the Tour de France Femmes will end sees a big hotel (Hotel des Grandes Rousses) already fully reserved for August.
The route will be fully revealed already in the 25th of October and most finales are set to be finalized. The race will take place between the 12th and 18th of August 2024, after the Tour de France and Olympic Games which will also take place in Paris.

- I'm wondering if he's quitting because Visma wouldn't make him their #1 at this year's Giro, which he believed suited him well. As defending champ he deserved his team's backing. After all, he's done a lot for Vingo.velodan07-01-2026

- Talented, elegant rider. Enjoy your life, Simon! all the best.
maria2024202407-01-2026 - Always came across as a great human being, his interviews typically had him with this private smile, friendly but also amused at the whole situation, and his ability as a rider let us see him pretty often in those interviews. Two grand tours, a spectacular letdown in a third, and solid riding throughout his career. I've enjoyed watching him throughout his career, and wish him the best with what comes next. Also, what, only one Yates in the peloton? How can that be?!RidesHills07-01-2026
- The oldest racket on Earth (in buisness) is convincing you that your cycling life( fill in a thousand other things) will approach pro level if you you buy their 15 pound titanium carbon rocket ship.The amount of fat ass 50 and 60 somethings riding these things is exactly the same as the old fart in a Ferrari trying to stave off father time with wads of cash.Good for Gaimon speaking about this weenie weight psychosis deliberately foistered on the consumer. Good for State as well.
