Femke de Vries leads after winning the Sondrio opener, with Demi Vollering absent and the race still pointing toward Reusser in the Aarburg time trial and the climbers in Villars-sur-Ollon.
Tour de Suisse Women is one of the key summer women's stage races in Europe, and the 2026 edition runs from June 17 to 21 across Sondrio, Locarno, Bad Ragaz, Aarburg and Villars-sur-Ollon.
The 2026 course combines hilly opening stages, a flatter Bad Ragaz day, a 23.8km Aarburg time trial and a mountain finale in Villars-sur-Ollon. Stage 1 is already complete, with Femke de Vries winning in Sondrio and taking the first leader's jersey.
The route is no longer just a provisional framework: Sondrio, Locarno, Bad Ragaz, Aarburg and Villars-sur-Ollon make a compact five-day race with punch, a real time trial and a final mountain stage.
Stage 1 already put the favorites under pressure. Femke de Vries and Lauren Dickson forced the first split, Cédrine Kerbaol took extra time on the descent, and Reusser, Longo Borghini and Niewiadoma-Phinney now need to use the remaining route instead of waiting for one obvious summit showdown.
