The Routes

A Femmes first.

In 2027, Great Britain will host Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift for the first time in a route that echoes 2014’s unforgettable Grand Départ.

Starting in Leeds and crossing the Pennines twice, the route will take in some of the North’s most vibrant cities and challenging climbs before ending with a route through the heart of London.

It’s the first time Tour de France and Tour de France avec Zwift will take place in the same country outside France in the same year.
