Analysis

The Women’s Tour is, considering its infrastructure, prize pool and fans -not its length, since the Giro Rosa offers ten consecutive days of racing-, the closest to a Grand Tour the UCI Women’s WorldTour’s calendar has to enjoy. Only the best squads in the world (all 15 WWT outfits automatically invited + the local Drops team) can aspire to participate in a event whose 2019 edition, the sixth since its inception, brings the toughest and longest (an extra day from 2018) route to date.

The race will cross England and Wales from east to west. There will be three good chances for the sprinters -in Suffolk (Monday 10th), Kent (Tuesday 11th) and the extraordinary Blenheim Palace (Wednesday 13th)- before tackling the race’s first-ever uphill finish: Burton Dassett (1.2km at 5%), to be climbed three times on Thursday 13th at a demanding circuit on stage four.

The final two stages, the hardest ones in the race, will be held on Welsh soil. Friday 14th will see the peloton explote at the climb to Epynt (3.5km at 9%), located just 20km from the finish in Builth Wells; the showdown on Saturday 15th will tackle the Black Mountain (8km, 5%) about 50km from a softer, yet coastal, finish in Pembrey.
