From Monday to Sunday, probably the most important women’s cycling race in the world will take place. We already know the start list for the 3rd edition of the Tour de France Femmes, which includes 5 white-and-red riders.
7 days, 8 stages, 947.9 kilometres long and 154 cyclists at the start in the colours of 22 teams – this year’s Tour de France Femmes. Before we prepare a comprehensive preview of the French race for you, it’s time to take a look at who will be at the start. The list of participants includes the names of a whole bunch of the biggest stars in cycling.
He is going to defend his title Demi Vollering (Team SD Worx – Protime). This time, however, Lotte Kopecky, who was 2nd last year, will not be at the Dutchwoman’s side – the Belgian will start in the track omnium in Paris on Sunday and did not decide to start competing in the Tour de France Femmes the following day. However, the one who completed the podium a year ago will be present – 3rd in this race twice. Catherine Unknown (Canyon//SRAM Racing). This year, the Polish athlete will be supported in her fight to repeat this result, and perhaps even improve it, by, among others: Agnieszka Skalniak-Sójka.
As for Polish women at the start, we will see 5 in total. Apart from the two mentioned above, the starting list also includes: Marta Lach (CERATIZIT-WNT Pro Cycling Team) – the most active cyclist of the 1st stage of last year’s edition, debuting in this race Daria Pikulik (Human Powered Health), our Olympian from Paris, and also Karolina Kumięga (UAE Team ADQ), for whom this will also be her first start in this event.
