The organisers of the Tour de Bloom have had to curtail their 2026 plans to return as a 2.2-level stage race for elite women because of high costs. However, the race will continue for women and men from May 14-19 in the USA's Pacific Northwest but no UCI points.
The Tour de Bloom will expand to six stages over six days for the elite categories. An omnium format comprising four stages on four days will be held for amateurs.
