Analysis

Two-and-a-half years after its last edition to date, The Women’s Tour is back with a quite flatter route than in 2019 and a more compact scheme, staying always around London and in the South of England, from the outskirts of Oxtord to the North Sea.

The two hilliest stages will be the opening ones: day one from Bicester to Banbury (Monday 4th), with three categorized climbs, and the Walsall circuit (Tuesday 5th), always up and down. The GC should probably be quite decided, together with those stages, at the ITT on Wednesday 6th, over 16km in and around Atherstone.

After that, the riders will tackle two flat, coastal stages -watch out for the wind!-, on Thursday 7th (Southend) and Friday 8th (Clacton), before a really long final day (155km) towards Felixstowe, with its big container port, on Saturday 9th.
