In 2027, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will make history once again. For the first time ever, the French Grand Tour will include a team time trial and will take the seven-rider teams on an 18-kilometer-long circuit around the heart of London. It will also start in the United Kingdom, making it the second time its Grand Départ has taken place outside French soil.
For the presentation, Marion Rousse, director of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, invited British FENIX-Premier Tech rider Flora Pekins alongside Cat Ferguson (Movistar Team).
“I am genuinely so excited for the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift to come to London, where I grew up riding my bike. It’s going to be such a special moment. I can’t wait to showcase to the cycling world what London has to offer,” said Perkins. “I also know this is an opportunity to share my love of cycling and racing with the people of London. I hope that girls in particular come out and see this race and realize that racing bikes is one of the best things ever, and they can do it too.”
