It’s common for the men’s Tour de France to start outside
France, recent editions have begun in Denmark and Italy, and it appears ASO are
following a similar for the women’s race. In 2025, the men’s race will remain
entirely within French borders, for the first time since 2020.
The 2025 edition of the women’s race is set to begin in Vannes
on 25 July, continuing its summer slot following the men’s Tour.
Katarzyna Niewiadoma claimed a historic overall victory in the previous edition, joined
on the final podium by Dutch duo
Demi Vollering and Pauliena Rooijakkers, but
Vollering will be the firm favourite this year.
