The Movistar Team is one of the strongest teams in women's cycling and has a good chance of competing for overall victory in the Tour de France Femmes 2025. With Marlen Reusser from Switzerland and Liane Lippert from Germany, the Spanish team has two absolute top riders who have the potential to win the prestigious tour. The young British rider Cat Ferguson could also cause surprises and claim important stage wins. Team manager Sebastián Unzué's squad is going into the most important stage race of the year with great ambitions.
Marlen Reusser as the trump card for the overall classification
Marlen Reusser is regarded as one of the strongest time trialists in the world and seems to be in the form of her life. The 33-year-old Swiss rider has already won the overall classification of the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas and the Tour de Suisse this year. With her experience and her skills against the clock, Reusser is predestined for the overall classification at the Tour de France Femmes. However, she recently suffered a slight setback when she lost the overall classification of the Giro d'Italia after leading the race.
Former German champion
Former German champion Liane Lippert is an all-rounder who can particularly shine on hilly and mountainous stages. After Marlen Reusser's recent successes, the 27-year-old will probably take on a helper's role. At the Tour de France Femmes, Lippert will be able to bring her qualities to bear, especially on the mountain stages and climbs in the finale. The German will play an important role in the team's strategy and could also have a chance of winning the yellow jersey herself if the race goes according to plan. The stage wins at the Giro d'Italia underline her form.
Cat Ferguson as an up-and-coming young talent
The 20-year-old Brit Cat Ferguson is regarded as one of the biggest talents in women's cycling. The 2024 junior world champion has already caused a stir in her first full road season and achieved several top 10 finishes in WorldTour races.
In addition to the three top riders, the Movistar team can rely on other strong helpers. The Dutchwoman Floortje Mackaij, the Canadian Olivia Baril and the Spaniard Sara Martín form an experienced and powerful trio that can support Reusser and Lippert in the mountains and on the flat stages.
