Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2025

Can Kim le Court Pienaar hold on for the overall? At present she has been climbing extremely well. Looking at the remaining parcours, I don't find it unbelievably hard, which doesn't mean much, since it could always be raced so much harder for that reason.

No court can not live with PFP KND and DEMI

Hmm, a finish up the Madeleine, and then over the Joux Plane aren't hard?

Well it's all relative. The remaining stages are 159 km with 1986 m, 111 km with 3517 m & 124 km with 2925 m. That is hardly mind blowing for me. Just wondering if she could possibly hold on. I'm trying to figure out if the women's races (non sprints) are still won by a more all rounder type of rider than true specialists. If this were a 3 week race, the cumulative buildup would destroy a certain type of rider as well as a certain weight of rider. Trying to figure out how different the rules are for a 9 day race.

Just for arguments sake, would WVA be able to win GC if the men raced this parcours for 9 days? No, because of Pogacar & Vingegaard, but maybe without those two?!

Cort up front

About time he turned up. 3 weeks too late though

I would have said no but she looks incredibly strong and incredibly confident in her interviews!!

I love how many actual options there are this year! I know Demi is the favourite but I could see several others also sneaking it! PFP would be fabulous and Kim LC, let alone a repeat Kasia win!

Stage 7

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Yesterday was actually harder. The only improvement is having the final climb a bit closer to the finish.
It might stimulate some GC action. We’ll see.

 

[Cathryn]

That downhill finish will be thrilling/lethal.

My money is on Cedrine Kerbaol or Kasia!

It's a bit weird that downhill finishes have mostly been removed from men's races but seemingly not women's races!

Err... The men's Giro barely had any mountain top finishes this year, despite having quite a lot of mountains

It didn't have downhill finishes either, had a lot of plateau finishes didn't it?

Yeah, you're right actually 👍
