The 2026 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will have its Grand Départ in Lausanne, Switzerland, its organiser ASO announced on Thursday evening. It will be the second foreign start for the Tour in its short history after it began in Rotterdam in 2024, and raises the prospect of an Alpine stage as early as the third day. The opening stage will be a loop around Lausanne, with a finish fit for punchy riders, while stage two, from Aigle to Geneva, will be a more traditional sprint stage.

It comes after two high-profile crashes and deaths at bike races in Switzerland - Gino Mäder at the Tour de Suisse in 2023 and Muriel Furrer during the junior women's road race at the World Championships in Zürich in September last year.
