Favorites are being identified for the third stage of the Tour de France Femmes 2025

  • The third stage of the Tour de France Femmes will take place on July 28, 2025.
  • The stage has a length of 163 km and is considered the longest.
  • Lorena Wiebes is a favorite, but competition is increasing.

On July 28, 2025, the third stage of the Tour de France Femmes will commence with a route from La Gassili to Anje, with a total length of 163 km. This stage is considered the longest in this year's tour, creating opportunities for sprinters.

At the beginning of the stage, a neutral start is scheduled for 13:50 Central European Time. The finish is expected around 17:30. Earlier, in the second stage, Lorena Wiebes from the SD Worx-Protime team was unable to secure opportunities for a sprint due to the victory of Mavi Garcia.

The Picnic PostNL team with Charlotte Kool and the Lidl-Trek team with Elisa Balsamo are expected to control the sprint to ensure a mass finish. The technical finish with various turns in the last kilometer could influence the results of the race.

This stage is important for sprinters, as they may have limited opportunities within the framework of this tour. Anje, a place with a history of sprint finishes, could become a key location for the battle for the green jersey.

Stage Schedule

The third stage is set to start at 13:50 CET and will conclude around 17:30 CET.

Participants in the race will have the opportunity to test their strength in the sprint, as well as compete for important points in the overall standings.
