Two stages to determine the winner of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes
Nice will host the finale of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes by Zwift, on Saturday, August 8 and Sunday, August 9. After the start in Lausanne on August 1st and a passage over Mont Ventoux today, the fifth edition of the race will end on the Côte d’Azur following two days that could be decisive for the general classification.
The first of these two stages will link Sisteron to Nice on Saturday, August 8. At 171.9 kilometers long, this eighth stage will be the longest of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes. The route will notably take the Napoleon Road before a finish on the Promenade des Anglais, at the level of the Théâtre de Verdure.
On Sunday, August 9, the final positions of the general classification will be decided during a loop of 99.2 kilometers around Nice. The start will be given from Place Masséna before a circuit comprising four ascents of the Col d’Èze, well known to riders of the Paris-Nice and the passage of the Vinaigrier. The finish will again be judged on the Promenade des Anglais, where the winner of this 2026 edition will be officially crowned.
At the start of this final stage, the Patrouille de France will perform a flyover in the azure skies.
A free Fan Zone at Jardin Albert 1er
