STAGE PROFILE

Starting from the Headrow in central Leeds – just as the men’s peloton did in 2014, the first ever Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift stage to be held in Britain.

The route travels through Huddersfield on its way across the Pennines, through the north of the Peak District National Park before descending into Oldham.

The route circles the north of Greater Manchester through Rochdale before entering Manchester city centre from the north.

Passing Manchester Cathedral, the riders will battle for the yellow jersey for the first time on Deansgate.
