Stages & Profiles Tour de France Femmes 2027 - English Grand Depart, Puy de Dôme finale as the queen stage
Cycling
The 2027 Tour de France Femmes is taking shape. At the presentation in Paris on Thursday, 22 October, organizers unveiled the nine stages of an edition that will (like the men's race) start in Great Britain and will end on the mythical Puy de Dôme.
The race will run from 30 July to 7 August 2027. The Tour de France Femmes will finish on the Puy de Dôme in 2027, after three demanding stages in the Massif Central and a start in Great Britain that will feature the race’s first team time trial. Race director Marion Rousse presented the route in Paris. The race will comprise nine stages, from Leeds to the famous ancient volcano.
Demi Vollering will have the chance to chase a third consecutive title. The route unveiled by organiser ASO also features two hilly opening stages in Great Britain, exposed roads around Calais and a flatter run to Bourges suited to the sprinters.
Stage 1: Leeds - Manchester (86 km)
The Leeds–Manchester stage will open the race with three climbs and the first battle for the yellow jersey. The terrain could suit both puncheurs and sprinters able to handle the ascents.

Stage 3: London - London (TTT - 18 km)
The 18 km team time trial through London will give the general classification favourites their first chance to gain time, before the climbing gets tougher in France.
London will host the first team time trial in the history of the modern Tour de France Femmes. The 18 km course will pass Westminster, St Paul’s Cathedral, Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace. It will bring the race’s three-stage visit to Great Britain to a close before the peloton crosses to France.

Stage 4: Le Touquet-Paris-Plage - Calais (123 km)
The first French stage will link Le Touquet-Paris-Plage and Calais, with rolling terrain and an exposed final stretch along the roads of Cap Blanc-Nez. The area hosted Wout van Aert’s solo victory in the yellow jersey at the 2022 men’s Tour.

Stage 5: Neufchâtel-en-Bray - Magnanville (161 km)
The fifth stage offers another chance for attacking racing, with a succession of climbs over the 161 km route to Magnanville and a demanding finish. These two stages will give breakaways and puncheurs more opportunities after the British opening.

Stage 6: Orléans - Bourges (138 km)
The flatter sixth stage from Orléans to Bourges will offer the clearest chance for a conventional bunch sprint on French soil. It will be the final stage before the route enters the Massif Central, where the remaining three days will feature significant climbing.

Stage 7: Nevers - La Loge des Gardes (155 km)
The first summit finish comes on stage seven at La Loge des Gardes. Starting in Nevers, the peloton will tackle the 2.1 km Côte du Point du Jour at 8.6% before the final climb, which measures 6.7 km at an average gradient of 7.1%.

Stage 8: La Bourboule - Clermont-Ferrand (151 km)
The eighth stage packs six climbs into the route to Clermont-Ferrand. The city returns to the course after hosting the Grand Départ in 2023 and appearing again in 2025. This time, it will welcome the peloton on the eve of the decisive climb.

- That’s a first point, everyone can have an off year or just stagnate before a new upward cycle. What would have been more interesting is including Skjelmose’s performance into the discussion, things have also been expected from him after several performances in the past but he hasn’t really progressed either, his TdF was basically what you would have expected but he’s 26 and been kind of stuck at this level for at least 2-3 years. Maybe he’s a late developer or maybe he needs something to change but as manager I’d be just as demanding and worried about both. Perhaps the recruitment concept was to have enough talent so at least one every year would be in shape and they’ve just been unlucky. Don’t want to rub it in but you could even say Mads lost a notch, so is it the riders or is it more to do with the team?Jumpyjohn12-11-2026
