The 2026 Tour de France Femmes runs August 1-9, nine stages from a Swiss Grand Depart in Lausanne to a final showdown in Nice, and it is billed as the toughest route in the race’s short history. The headline is a first-ever summit finish on Mont Ventoux (Stage 7). We built a free printable stage tracker so you can fill in each stage winner and the yellow-jersey (GC) leader as the race unfolds.
