Tour of Guangxi Women 2026 Preview: Karst Hills and the Season’s Final WorldTour Race

Tour of Guangxi Women closes the 2026 Women’s WorldTour calendar with a one-day race through the dramatic karst limestone terrain of southern China. Anna Henderson won the 2025 edition from a two-rider breakaway, outsprinting Caroline Andersson after the pair escaped with 20 km remaining. The short, irregular karst climbs splinter the field without offering the rhythm of sustained mountain climbing, and the finish rewards explosive acceleration and sharp positioning. Women’s WorldTour teams are required to participate in almost the entire calendar, ensuring a strong field for the season finale. The race carries outsized importance for overall series standings, and motivation levels vary between teams fighting for ranking points and those winding down.
