The energy in France is off the charts with the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift blazing across the roads—just two stages into the race!
Spoiler Alert Ahead!
Still catching up on Stages 1 and 2 of the Tour de France Femmes? If you’d rather keep the suspense alive, click here to fast-forward straight to the Zwift events—no race results spilled, promise!
Stage One: Wow!
Marianne Vos did it again! On Stage 1 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, cycling’s living legend played her cards to perfection. Vos rocketed past Kim Le Court and teammate Pauline Ferrand-Prévot on the fierce Côte de Cadoudal climb into Plumelec, snatching the win and the very first yellow jersey of the race.
And if you’re wondering, yes, this is classic Vos: the woman often called the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) of women’s cycling, who—let’s be honest—probably has more career victories than you have cycling socks—over 250!
At age 38, Marianne seems to defy the usual rules of gravity (and age), and today was no exception. She raced over the line with her signature grin, adding yet another memorable finish to her jam-packed trophy case.
Stage 1 goes to Queen Marianne—once more with feeling.
Stage Two: #NeverTooOld!
Mavi García stole the spotlight on Stage 2 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift with a gutsy solo attack and a finish that left jaws on the floor.
Mavi García’s start to the 2025 Tour de France Femmes was tough and filled with doubts. After a complicated year and even flirting with the idea of retirement, plus still shaking off the effects of a nasty crash at the Baloise Ladies Tour, Mavi wasn’t exactly the early race favorite.
But then, with about 10 kilometers to go on Stage 2, she threw caution to the wind, launched a gutsy solo attack, and kept the peloton guessing—and chasing! All the way to the finish line.
At 41, she not only bagged the biggest win of her career but proved that neither age nor setbacks can keep a true champion down! The Spanish powerhouse proved that age is just a number—#NeverTooOld!
Mavi reminded everyone she’s still got the legs and the heart, making history as the oldest stage winner in the Tour’s history while giving her team their first victory of the season. Talk about a comeback with serious style—and stamina!
Watch the Femmes!
The razor-thin time gaps separating the top 10 riders in the Tour de France Femmes are turning every stage into a genuine cliffhanger.
With just a handful of seconds between contenders, one bold attack, a split-second tactical slip, or a stroke of bad luck could shuffle the entire leaderboard. This tight competition means every climb, sprint, and descent could decide the yellow jersey; no one can simply defend a big lead and play it safe.
I’m a fan! Are you beginning to see why Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is THE race of the year to watch? It’s the cycling equivalent of a mystery movie where you genuinely have no clue how it’ll end until the very last scene—and really, what’s more exciting than that?
