The Tour de France Femmes arrives for a third edition in 2024 and provides opportunities on eight stages in seven days for any of the 154 riders in the 22-team peloton to earn personal glory, achieve team goals and etch their achievements in the history books yet again. Sprinters begin the proceedings for the first yellow jersey with a flat trio of openers in The Netherlands. Then the hills hit on stage 4 in Belgium and the climbers march into France for the final showdown on Alpe d’Huez.
Along with the new territory for the Tour are new riders, more than 50 of them making first-time appearances at the Grand Tour. Among them are several riders fresh from the Paris Olympic Games, including multi-discipline medallist Chloé Dygert (Canyon-SRAM), Blanka Vas (SD Worx-Protime), who was fourth in the women’s road race, and Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck), who was fourth in the women’s cross-country MTB event.
