Tour de France Femmes 2023 Route stage 4: Cahors - Rodez

The Col de Crayssac – 2.3 kilometres at 4.8% – is somewhat lost in the flatness of the first 80 kilometres. Then the Côte de Saint-Jean-de-Leur ushers in the next phase. Far from hard either – 3 kilometres at 4% -, but it marks the beginning of a more undulating phase.

The longest stage of the Tour de France Femmes really sets off at the base of the Côte de Colombiès, 136 kilometres into the race. The Colombiès – 6.5 kilometres at 4.2% – is followed by a short climb to Limayrac and a descent to the L’Ayeron river.

The final 20 kilometres of the race are the most intense. The riders conquer the Côte de Moyrazès, Côte de Lavernhe and Côte Saint-Pierre in quick succession. The first is 4.6 kilometres at 5.5% and the second 2.2 kilometres at 7.1% before the route descends in rolling fashion to the demanding final kilometre. The first half rises false flat, the second half climbs at 8.2% to the line.
