Updated: Wikipedia source
The 2025 Tour de France Femmes (officially Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift) was the fourth edition of the Tour de France Femmes. The race took place from 26 July to 3 August 2025 and was the 22nd race in the 2025 UCI Women's World Tour calendar. The race was organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), which also organises the men's Tour de France. The race was extended to nine days, making it the longest Tour de France Femmes, and the longest event on the UCI Women's World Tour calendar. The race was won by French rider Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma–Lease a Bike) by over three and a half minutes, after two stage wins in the French Alps. Second place was 2023 winner Demi Vollering (FDJ–Suez), with defending champion Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon–SRAM Zondacrypto) in third. Ferrand-Prévot was the first French winner of the Tour de France Femmes, and the first French win at the Tour de France since Bernard Hinault at the 1985 Tour de France and Jeannie Longo at the 1989 Tour de France Féminin. In the race's other classifications, Lorena Wiebes (Team SD Worx–Protime) won the green jersey of the points classification. Elise Chabbey (FDJ–Suez) took the polka-dot jersey as the winner of the Queen of the Mountains classification. Nienke Vinke (Team Picnic–PostNL) took the white jersey as the winner of the young riders classification, which was awarded to the best-placed rider under the age of 23. Maëva Squiban (UAE Team ADQ) took the combativity award, after wins on stages 6 and 7. FDJ–Suez won the team classification as the team with the lowest aggregate time among their three best-placed riders. The race was widely praised, with large crowds attending the Grand Départ in Brittany, record television audiences in France, and accolades for winner Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, who was hailed as a national icon. L'Équipe stated that Ferrand-Prévot's victory had led to "unprecedented enthusiasm in women's cycling", with media calling it the most successful edition of the race.
