2025 Tour de France Femmes Stage 3 Live Coverage
Welcome to our live coverage of Stage 3 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes! Our live profile and commentary are below, followed by a preview of the technical aspects of the route.
Course Preview
The third stage of the Tour de France Femmes takes the riders across flat to gently rolling terrain from La Gacilly to Angers. The distance is 160 kilometers, with just over 1,000 meters of elevation gain. A bunch sprint is the most likely outcome.
The Tour de Femmes leaves Brittany on the third day. After starting in the picturesque town of La Gacilly, the riders head east. The Côte de Richardière, after 34 kilometers, is the only real challenge of the day, although 'challenge' might be too strong a word. It’s a 1.7-kilometer climb at 4.7%.
Heading toward the finish line on Boulevard Georges Clemenceau in Angers, the race passes through Châteaubriant on nearly flat roads. So, the pure sprinters are expected to have their first chance to shine in this year’s Tour.
In last year’s Tour de France Femmes, the sprinters had two opportunities. And on both occasions, it was Charlotte Kool who took the win.
