The stage race Tour de Feminin has once again attracted an exceptionally strong and large starting field. Teams from various continents expressed interest, and the organizers had to turn many away. There are still eleven teams on the waiting list, hoping for a chance to participate. Among the selected teams are also three Czech ones.

As early as May, cyclists will be competing for victory in the Tour de Feminin, the Czech Republic's most important women's stage race, while spreading the message of the importance of prevention in the fight against breast cancer.

We are proud and pleased to have the patronage of our Tour de Feminin taken by the Chairman of the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, Mr. Miloš Vystrčil.

The international stage race of the Tour de Feminin ended with the absolute domination of the AG insurance-Soudal NXTG team. Mirre Knaven won the sprint of the small peloton and her teammate Julia Kopecky finished right behind her to secure the overall victory. The Belgian team also won all the other classifications.

The third stage of the Tour de Feminin went well for the Czechs. On the 110.7 km long course with start and finish in Rumburk, North Bohemia, Nikola Bajgerová, riding for the Polish team Mat Atom Deweloper, won in a mass spurt.

The hero of the stage, however, was her teammate Mirre Knaven, who spent 80 kilometres alone in the breakaway and ended up exhausted at the finish line under the care of paramedics.

The dominance of the AG Insurance team was broken in the first stage of this year's women's cycling race, the Tour de Feminin.

Julia Kopecky was a revelation at the Tour de Feminin last year. She took bronze in the opening time trial, added silvers in the next two stages and finished just below the podium in the overall classification.

The Tour de Feminin, a women's cycling stage race in the vicinity of the North Bohemian town of Krásná Lípa, will write its 35th chapter this May. The event, first held in 1988, has been a fixture on the international calendar for years.

The patronage of this year's event was taken over by the President of the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, Mr. Miloš Vystrčil
