The Tour de France Femmes is the eight days of racing that so many riders have centered their season around, but there are plenty of variables over 956 kilometres with crashes, time cuts or illness quick to unravel the best laid plans.
In 2022, there were 35 of the 144 riders on the start line in Paris that did not make it across the final finish line on top of La Super Planche des Belles Filles and there are also plenty of obstacles on the way to Pau for the 154 riders taking on the race in 2023.
