Mavi Garcia stands out in particular from the Australian team. The Spanish climber has already proven her abilities in difficult stage races in the past and could play an important role in the mountainous stages of the Tour. However, at 41 years of age, the captain is no longer the youngest, which is why her role in the team is not unchallenged. Georgia Baker from Australia could also be an interesting option for Liv AlUla Jayco in the Tour de France Femmes. As a sprinter, she has yet to score a major coup, but that could change with a small surprise.
Another rider who could cause a stir at the Tour de France Femmes is Ruby Roseman-Gannon. The young rider has developed steadily in recent years and could play to her strengths on undulating stages. Her versatility makes her a valuable option for various race scenarios. But Monica Trinca Colonel and Silke Smulders also add strong riders to the team to strengthen the overall classification and in the mountains. The Dutchwoman Smulders, who is only 24 years old, has been delivering consistently good results this season. She recently finished 14th in the Tour of Italy, which is a very good performance considering the strong field.
