The upcoming edition of the Tour de Feminin stage race will once again offer a high-quality and diverse starting field. Organizers have confirmed a list of 29 teams that will showcase their talent in North Bohemia this year. The peloton will feature UCI Continental teams, national selections, and club teams from across Europe and overseas.

Among the invitees are eleven UCI Continental teams. Fans can look forward to the British squad Handsling Alba Development Road Team, returning to defend the overall victory of Kate Richardson. Also appearing are the development rosters of major WorldTeams, most notably Canyon Sram zonda crypto Generation and the Belgian Fenix-Premier Tech Development Team, alongside ambitious outfits such as Citymesh - Customm Pro CT and Top Girls Fassa Bortolo.

The MAT Atom Deweloper Wroclav lineup is always a force to be reckoned with; riders from the Polish team secured second place overall in both 2023 and 2025. Domestic Czech cycling will be represented in the Continental category by Dukla Women Cycling and VIF Cycling Team.

The competitive field is further bolstered by eight national teams. Selections from Austria, Belgium (defending winners of the opening Team Time Trial), Denmark, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Ukraine, and the USA will be at the start, underlining the race’s international significance and its appeal to both talented young prospects and experienced internationals.

Rounding out the start list are ten club teams, primarily from traditional cycling powerhouses like the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Poland. These squads provide a platform for young riders looking to make their mark on the international stage.

Interest in the race far exceeded capacity. "According to UCI rules, we can register a maximum of 29 teams. However, a record 60 squads applied to start this year," says race director Simona Davídková

The Tour de Feminin has long been one of the most important women's stage races in Central Europe. Every year, it brings riders from across the globe to the region, offering demanding stages that test sprinters, climbers, and versatile all-rounders alike.
