DOHA (Qatar): Amaury Sport Organisation will launch a new women’s race on Thursday (June 24) that will carry the signature of the world’s biggest race, the Tour de France.
It will adopt the same codes, values and symbols as the men’s race.
After having enriched its calendar with prestigious women’s events over the last few years, A.S.O. will accentuate its development in women’s cycling.
With the UCI Women’s World Tour label, the race will feature 8 days of racing. The first stage will finish in Paris on the Champs-Elysées, on the day of the final stage of the Tour de France 2022.
Straight after the Tour de France, during the summer holidays, the timing will provide the public the best opportunity to easily be able to come and support the riders from the side of the road.
Amaury Sport Organisation would like to thank the partners, broadcasters, communities and federations that have committed to being part of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and those who are about to join us.
All of the details regarding the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift including its route and its rules will be revealed on Thursday 14th October 2021 during the presentation of the Tour de France 2022 at the Palais des Congrès de Paris.
“This is an incredibly important announcement for us as we look to build on our investment in women’s cycling and really help grow and develop the sport,” says Eric Min, CEO & Co-Founder of Zwift.
