The 8th edition of La Course by Le Tour de France with FDJ, welcoming every year the elite of the UCI Women’s WorldTour on the route of a stage of the Tour de France, was initially set to be raced between Saint-Brieuc and Mûr-de-Bretagne on Sunday, June 27th. Following a change of date for the second round of the French departmental and regional elections, the organizers adapt the schedule of the race in order to affect as little as possible the access to the polling stations for the citizens living in the area. La Course by Le Tour de France with FDJ has thus been moved to Saturday, June 26th and the women will battle it out between Brest and Landerneau, like the male’s peloton, but on a 107.4km route. The new course offers similar characteristics to the previous one, with a 14-km hilly finish circuit to be covered three times before the finish atop the Côte de la Fosse aux Loups. With a total elevation of 1,800m, the challenges of the day should favor the punchiest riders, like the finish at Mûr-de-Bretagne would have.
