11:37 – Longo Borghini forfeits

The winner of the Giro d'Italia a few weeks ago dreamed of also achieving the double like Tadej Pogacar in the men's race, but the Italian had to withdraw the day before yesterday, after a fall at training.

11:33 – Vollering ultra-favorite

Winner of the last Tour de France, the Dutchwoman Demi Vollering is the main candidate to succeed her for this 2024 edition which starts on her home turf. The absence of the Belgian Lotte Lopecky, who preferred to concentrate on the Olympic Games, disengages her from her main competitor and we do not see who could prevent her from doing the double.

Yes, there is life after the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and it starts with the women's Tour de France which begins this Monday, August 12th in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The route promises to be grandiose and exciting. After sprints in the Netherlands, the peloton will head to the grounds of the Amstel Gold Race and the Doyenne des Classiques Liège Bastogne Liège. The final stages promise a grand finale with a decisive battle in the Alps, starting with a stage at Le Grand-Bornand and its 3,100 metres of positive elevation gain. The next day, the queen stage of 150 km will take them from the Col du Glandon to the legendary ascent of Alpe d'Huez. Demi Vollering, at home for this start, seems untouchable. The defending champion is the big favourite to succeed her own title. This season, she has won the Vuelta, the Tour of the Basque Country, the Tour of Burgos and the Tour of Switzerland… Basically, all the races she has participated in. Without Lotte Kopecky, the suspense should not be very great.
