Demi Vollering Women's Tour

The Women's Tour is a six-stage race taking place in Great Britain, and the 2022 edition gets underway in Colchester on Monday 6 June, before finishing in Oxford on Saturday 11 June. 

The race kicks off in Colchester, with a relatively flat stage, finishing in Bury St Edmunds - where Marianne Vos won back in 2014.

Stage two, starting and finishing in Harlow, is the shortest of the race at 92 kilometres, and it's once again likely to yield a sprint finish. 

The climbs begin to rear their head from day three, where riders set off in Tewkesbury and complete a loop to Gloucester - the start and finish lines are just 10 miles apart, but there will be two Queen of the Mountains opportunities at Worrall Hill and Speech House.

Stage four introduces new locations to the race, with North Wales' Wrexham hosting the depart, and the finish in Welshpool. Climbs include Hirnant Bank and the cat 1 classified Bryn-y-Fedwen.

However, it's stage five which functions as the Queen stage, with the 106.6km route from Pembrey Country concluding with a summit finish at Black Mountain - which measures 7.2km in length, and averages 5.3%, notably, featuring 21% ramps along the way.

It's highly likely that we'll see the GC competition cemented atop of Black Mountain, but there is still one stage left - with what's likely to be a sprinter's race from Chipping Norton to Oxford.

Where can I watch the Women's Tour 2022?

For the first time in the race's history, the Women's Tour will be broadcast live on Eurosport Player and GCN+ , with a highlights show each evening on ITV4 in the UK.

Who is riding the Women's Tour 2022?

Thirteen of the 14 UCI Women's WorldTour teams will compete in this year's race, for what is set to be the joint largest field ever, with 102 cyclists riding for 17 teams. 

Among the competitors are former champions Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//SRAM) and Coryn Labecki (Jumbo-Visma), who won in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Niewiadoma is among the favourites to take the overall win, with stage five specifically tailored to climbing abilities, as the stage finishes atop the Black Mountain in Carmarthenshire. 

Meanwhile, Labecki is an accomplished rider who has triumphed at both the Trofeo Alfredo Binda and Tour of Flanders. Women's Tour stage winners Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM), Christine Marjerus (SD Worx) and Chloe Hosking (Trek-Segafredo) are all set to join the duo on the start line as well, as they look to add to their palmarès this time out. 

Wiebes is fresh off of winning all three stages and the general classification at the RideLondon Classique, too, meaning she is in top form to compete at the WorldTour event. Newly-crowned UCI World Hour Record holder Ellen van Dijk (Trek-Segafredo) will also be racing across the six stages, as she looks to showcase her incredible power on the bike once again, just weeks after her last successful effort. 

However, last year's winner Demi Vollering isn't scheduled to start the race on June 6. 

The Women's Tour begins with a stage concluding in Bury St Edmunds, after starting in Colchester. Stage two will start and finish in Harlow, with the third day a race around Gloucestershire. Two subsequent legs will visit Wales, with Oxford and the Cotswolds hosting the finale.

1 thought on “UCI Women’s World Tour”

' src=

If feel so bad for your league if that’s what you call it, how can you slide down so far in one year. Last year you was a thriving entertaining and COMPETITIVE! What you have now isn’t a sport, it’s hard to watch and predictable. As it is now I read start list and if SD Works is there no sense even watching. This is so sad for me since my # cyclist of all times is Vos. I just hope some organization that actually understands competition and fair play comes along and all the teams jump from your ship. You can keep SD Works since that seems to be all you care about

Women’s Tour of Scandinavia 2022 - Route, predictions and contenders

Women’s Tour of Scandinavia 2022 - Route, predictions and contenders

The next stage race in the Women’s WorldTour skirts through Denmark, Sweden and Norway and some of the biggest stars in the peloton are due to start

If you’re hungry for more exciting stage racing following the inaugural Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift , there isn’t long to wait as the women’s peloton go to battle once more on the 9th August. This time, it’s a far cry from the rolling hills of rural France, instead they will race against the striking, dramatic backdrop of Scandinavia over six days.

Things kick off in Copenhagen, a city that has had its fair share of cycling fever in the last few weeks with the Grand Depart of the men’s Tour de France taking place in the city. We can expect big crowds and plenty of excitement from the Danes who have enjoyed an incredibly successful season of cycling with Jonas Vingegaard taking the overall win in the men’s Tour de France and Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig winning a stage of the women’s.

The route then heads into Sweden for one day only, as the peloton will race along the stunning coast at Bohuslän. The final four stages take place in Norway – the Tour of Scandinavia is an improved and extended edition of the Ladies Tour of Norway which has been on the women’s professional racing calendar since 2014. Perhaps the most punishing stage of the race is on the penultimate day, it finishes up a 11.1 kilometre climb that averages a 6.1% gradient. Tour de France Femmes winner Annemiek van Vleuten took victory when the Ladies Tour of Norway finished on this climb in 2021.

While the newly crowned Tour de France champion isn’t expected to start in this race, there are still some big names due to be competing. Perhaps the most standout favourite of them all is Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig of FDJ-Suez-Futuroscope who will be hoping to perform well in front of a home crowd. The Dane proved her form at the Tour and is a strong contender to take victory overall here.

Read on for a full outline of the route, contenders and our prediction to take the victory in the inaugural Tour of Scandinavia.

Tour of Scandinavia 2022 Route

Stage one, Copenhagen – Helsingør (DEN), 145,6 km

women's tour cycling 2022

Stage two, Orust – Strömstad (SWE), 154 km

women's tour cycling 2022

Stage three, Moss – Sarpsborg (NOR), 119 km

Stage four, Askim – Mysen (NOR), 119,2 km

Stage five , Vikersund – Norefjell, 127,4 km

women's tour cycling 2022

Stage six, Lillestrøm – Halden, 153,4 km

women's tour cycling 2022

The stand out riders on the current start list for the Tour of Scandinavia are FDJ-Suez-Futuroscope’s Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig – a stage winner at the Tour de France Femmes who is well-suited to the final climb and will hope to impress a home crowd – and Team SD Worx's Demi Vollering . The Dutch rider finished second at the Tour de France Femmes and won the polka dot jersey, plus she was the closest challenger to Annemiek van Vleuten of Movistar in the mountains. Van Vleuten won't be starting the race in Copenhagen, so her Movistar teammates, such as Sarah Gigante and Katrine Aalerud , will be looking to take a rare chance of leadership opportunity here. 

Marianne Vos of Jumbo-Visma is the other big name on the start list. The final Queen stage may be too much for the legendary Dutch rider but the punchy stages earlier on in the race will be extremely well-suited to her. She proved at the Tour de France Femmes she is in fantastic stage-winning form so it will be interesting to see if she carries this with her to the Tour of Scandinavia. 

Liane Lippert will be Team DSM's GC hopeful – the German rider performed well in the Tour de France Femmes. Charlotte Kool will be able to have her chance in the sprint stages for the team as their main sprinter Lorena Wiebes is not starting this race. Canyon//SRAM bring a team of promising young climbers including Mikayla Harvey and Neve Bradbury , both of whom will want to make their mark on the WorldTour stage. Alice Barnes could also contest the sprint finishes earlier on in the race for the German team.

Joscelin Lowden of Team UNO-X is another rider who will look to perform well in the hillier stages, especially riding for a Norwegian team. Lowden showed strong form in the Tour de France Femmes with a good breakaway effort on stage five. 

Teams such as Trek-Segafredo look to have brought a roster focussed on the sprint stages, with Chloe Hosking likely their protected sprinter. Shari Bossuyt of Canyon//SRAM is another one to watch in the fast finishes, as is Alexandra Manly of Team Bike Exchange-Jayco and Susanne Andersen of Team UNO-X. Barbara Guarischi of Movistar will likely be the Spanish team's chosen rider for the sprint stages as Emma Norsgaard is not starting in Copenhagen.

The women's tour: lorena wiebes wins stage 5.

Lorena Wiebes  ( Team DSM ) won her second consecutive stage of  The Women's Tour  when she emerged victorious in the stage 5 sprint in Clacton-on-Sea. Wiebes was unchallenged and finished ahead of new world champion Elisa Balsamo (Valcar-Travel & Service) and Marjolein van 't Geloof (Drops-Le Col s/b Tempur).

Demi Vollering (Team SD Worx) continues to lead the overall classification heading into the final stage 6 on Saturday. She is 1:09 minutes ahead of Juliette Labous (Team DSM) and 1:16 minutes ahead of Clara Copponi (FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope).

Stage 5 was the shortest stage of the event at 95.5km. The peloton raced one small loop followed by a 63.5-kilometre loop through Holland-on-Sea, Thorpe-le-Soken and Manningtree before returning to Clacton for what ended in a bunch sprint.

The Women's Tour

The Women's Tour returns to a late-season six-day race in October after being cancelled in 2020 and then postponed this June due to COVID-19. This year's race will welcome a world-class peloton with all nine top-tier teams on the line to race in the Women's WorldTour event.

The squads of four of the race’s previous overall winners will be on the start line: Trek-Segafredo (Lizzie Deignan, 2019 champion), Team DSM (Coryn Rivera, 2018 champion), Canyon-SRAM (Kasia Niewiadoma, 2017 champion) and Ceratizit-WNT (Lisa Brennauer, 2015 winner).

This year's race is now in it's seventh edition and will, for the first time, include an individual time trial along with a kermesse-style stage during the six-day race.  The race offers predominantly flat to punchy terrain to make for a wide-open and compelling  race that could come down to seconds as the world-class field pursues the overall victory.

The Women's Tour - History

The Women’s Tour was created in 2014 and quickly rose to the top level of professional bike racing when it joined the Women’s WorldTour in 2016, where it has been applauded as one of the most popular and progressive events in the top-tier of women’s racing.

In 2018, organisers brought parity to the event’s prize fund with the men's Tour of Britain and both pelotons raced for a total amount of €90,000. In 2019, the peloton competed for €97,880 across six days of racing and  Lizzie Deignan  won the overall title. Former overall winners also include Coryn Rivera (2018), Kasia Niewiadoma (2017), Deignan (2016), Lisa Brennauer (2015) and Marianne Vos (2014).

Organisers announced a  five-year plan to offer live coverage  of the women’s race, which is required to be part of the top-tier series. The deal was with  Eurosport  and the  Global Cycling Network  ( GCN ) and promised to bring the race to millions globally through premier digital platforms and channels. However, they have announced a week before the race, that this year’s event will not be broadcast live due to the impact of " commercial realities ".

The Women’s Tour will kick off with on October 4 with a 147.6km race between Bicester and Banbury.

The racing will continue with stage 2 on October 5 at a new kermesse-style circuit race in Walsall. The details of the stage have not been revealed, however, fans and racers can expect an explosive, fast-paced race that could end in a bunch sprint.

Stage 3, on October 6 will showcase a first-ever individual time trial at The Women’s Tour. The 16-kilometre event will be an out-and-back affair in Atherstone. 

Stage 4, on October 7, will present a 117.5km race from Shoeburyness to Southend. According to organisers, the route was inspired by racing on the flatlands of Belgium and the Netherlands.

The penultimate stage 5 held on October 8 is the shortest stage of the event at 95.5km. The peloton will race one small loop followed by a 63.5-kilometre loop through Holland-on-Sea, Thorpe-le-Soken and Manningtree before returning to Clacton for an expected bunch sprint.

The Women’s Tour will conclude on October 9 with a stage 6’s 155km race from Haverhill to Felixstowe where the overall winner will be crowned.

  • Stage 1:   Bicester to Banbury, 147.6km
  • Stage 2:   Walsall (TBA)
  • Stage 3:   Atherstone individual time trial, 16km
  • Stage 4: Shoeburyness to Southend, 117.5km
