This year’s Tour de Romandie Féminin has been cancelled due to a factors ranging from financial to logistical.
Originally scheduled for 4-6 September, this year’s would have been the fifth edition of the three-stage Women’s WorldTour race in Switzerland, which has been won in the past by Demi Vollering (2023) Lotte Kopecky (2024). The reigning champion is home rider Elise Chabbey of the FDJ United-SUEZ team, who was victorious last year ahead of Urkška Zigart (AG Insurance-Soudal) and Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Premier Tech).
“This decision is based on two main factors,” read the statement. “Firstly, an exceptional concentration of major events in French-speaking Switzerland in the coming months (World Ice Hockey Championships, G7 Summit, Grand Départ of the Women’s Tour de France), which will heavily mobilize the resources essential to organizing an international cycling event (security forces, logistics, volunteers). On the other hand, there is currently no sponsorship for the 2026 edition.”
