Women’s Tour de France 2023: let’s go! Maps, profile and ranking

The second edition of the Tour de France officially starts this Sunday July 23 from Clermont-Ferrand.

After the men, the women are in the spotlight on the occasion of the second edition of the Tour de France women. The 2023 edition leaves Clermont-Ferrand this Sunday July 23 to end in Pau a week later. Unsurprisingly, this women’s Tour de France should offer a big duel between Annemiek van Vleuten and Demi Vollering. Winner of the Vuelta and the Giro Donne where she flew over the race, the world champion will defend her title during this week, but will have to face her compatriot Demi Vollering, impressive during the classics season.

Among the other names to mention, the Frenchwoman Juliette Labous will be one of the main contenders for the final podium on the Pau side after her second place in the Women’s Giro. In addition to the Frenchwoman, Elisa Longo Borghini, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, Marta Cavalli, Lorena Wiebes and Marianne Vos should be underdogs for this race.

The first stage of the Tour de France Women consists of a large loop north of Clermont-Ferrand. The road is mainly hilly, while the Côte de Durtol will be the main attraction in the finale. The Côte de Durtol is a climb of 1.7 kilometers at 7.2% whose summit is 9 kilometers before the finish line. This is the steepest ramp of the day. The rest of the course is flat or hilly.
