Preparing to tackle the rigorous Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift route are the world's fiercest cyclists as it's the women's turn to brave the mountains. SBS will capture all the action live and free on SBS VICELAND and SBS On Demand from today, August 12 to August 18.

Maintaining the incredible sporting energyafter the Paris Olympic Games, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift begins today for the first time in beautiful Rotterdam, Netherlands. Travelling through Belgium and France, the race will cross three countries and three French regions, covering 10 departments. The cyclists will battle it out to the finish line on August 18 on the most famous mountain in Tour history - Alpe d'Huez, making its debut in the women's race route. The eight stages of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift include three flat stages, two hilly stages, two mountain stages, and one individual time trial.

Australians can watch every moment of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift live on SBS VICELAND and will be available to stream live, in full, on SBS On Demand from the Tour de France Hub which also includes a variety of Tour content including extended highlights, full stage catch-up replays, winning moments and mini stage recaps.

The SBS' expert commentary team will be on the ground in Europe, capturing the fierce competition and incredible teamwork of the women's race. Reporting on location will be the Australian voice of cycling' Matthew Keenan and national time trial champion Dr Bridie O'Donnell and providing exclusive interviews with the athletes and reporting on the ground will be Australian National Road Race Champion David McKenzie, alongside Christophe Mallet who will deliver insights on race tactics and historical significance of the captivating locations travelled.

154 fearless riders will be attempting to conquer the rigorous women's route this year. The star-studded line-up includes reigning champion Demi Vollering, back to defend her title but she faces stiff competition from a host of rival riders including Kasia Niewiadoma with Elisa Longo Borghini perhaps posing the biggest threat after winning the women's Giro d'Italia. Juliette Labous is another rider with high hopes on home soil, as are Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio and Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig. Remaining podium hopefuls include Marta Cavalli, Gaia Realini, Ane Santesteban and Ricarda Bauernfeind.

Nine Australians will take to the start line in the Netherlands, including Grace Brown, back on the road fresh from her gold medal-winning performance in the Olympic time trial, as well as Neve Bradbury, who finished third overall at the Giro d'Italia Women. Joining them will be Amber Pate, Ruby Roseman-Gannon, Sarah Gigante, Anya Louw, Amanda Spratt, Sarah Roy and Josie Talbot.
