The Tour de France Femmes will turn orange in 2024. The third edition of the Tour de France for women will start as it is known in Rotterdam. However, the first four days will be spent racing in the Netherlands, before heading to the Alpe d'Huez via the eastern side of France.
As in 2023, the third edition basically has something for everyone. Time trial specialists will come off a bit short with a 6.3 kilometer time trial (in Rotterdam) on day three, but the sprinters and climbers of the peloton will have something to look forward to. Classics specialists will also be happy.
The party begins in Rotterdam on August 12, 2024, with a billiard flat stage toward The Hague. If this stage is still 124 kilometers, on day two the women will ride only 67 kilometers from Dordrecht back to Rotterdam. Here too it will normally be sprints. Stage three follows on the same day in the afternoon, with an ultra-short time trial.
The fourth stage then promises spectacle. 'A touch of Amstel Gold Race and a touch of Liège-Bastogne-Liège,' the organization aptly says. After the start from Valkenburg we will cross the Cauberg and in the finale the well known Redoute. A trip to Belgium.
In the last four days of the Tour de France Femmes, we will ride across France, with a hilly stage from Bastogne to Amnéville, an ideal stage for the attackers towards Morteau and, on the penultimate day, a final climb to the well-known Le Grand-Bornand. That will also be the starting point on the final day on August 18, for an epic mountain stage to the top of the Alpe d'Huez!
