The Tour de France Femmes 2025 will be a very exciting route featuring a start in Bretagne and a finale in the Alps. The top race in the women's calendar starts on the 26th July and ends on the 3rd of August. We preview stage 1.
The race starts off in Bretagne and the first two stages will suit the classics riders. The hilltop finale in the Côte de Cadoudal, Plumelec, is well known and will dictate the first yellow jersey of the race.
Stage 1: Vannes - Plumelec, 79 kilometers
Stage 1: Vannes - Plumelec, 79 kilometers
Prediction Tour de France Femmes 2025 stage 1:
*** Lorena Wiebes, Marianne Vos
** Lotte Kopecky, Puck Pieterse
* Lianne Lippert, Demi Vollering, Elisa Longo Borghini, Chloé Dygert, Elisa Balsamo, Marlen Reusser, Pauline Ferand-Prévot, Katarzyna Niewiadoma
Pick: Lorena Wiebes
How: I think this is going to be a difficult finale and not ideal for Wiebes, but her climbing legs should be enough to survive and if she has the support and leadout from Lotte Kopecky then no-one will be able to surprise with a late attack.

Kopecky should be supported by her team to win this one. Not be on domestique duties for Wiebes.
