The Tour de l'Avenir Femmes has been put on hold for 2026, with race organisers citing a lack of women's under-23 teams and insufficient structure at that level as the reason for the decision.
In contrast to the men's race, which has been raced since 1961, the women's race only began in 2023. However, each of the three editions to date has been won by professional riders, with the mass participation of pro riders among the reasons for the race's pause.
