Since the Tour de France Femmes was run for the first time back in 2022, the race has only grown bigger and better, improving and growing alongside the women's peloton. That first edition saw eight days of racing between Paris and La Super Planche des Belles Filles.
This year's race, the toughest edition yet, ran for nine days between Lausanne and Nice, was marked by a record 18,795 metres of climbing, with the brutal summit finish atop Mont Ventoux the highlight. On the side of the road, crowds are bigger year-on-year, as are viewing figures, and the same goes for the press pack following the race on the ground.
