Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step
The women's team of Soudal - Quick Step boss Patrick Lefevere is sticking to his vision of consistently promoting young talent this season. With the new signings Romy Kasper (GER) and Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (RSA), two seasoned professionals will lead the young squad of the Continental team as road captains. The change of team will certainly give Moolman more freedom to aim for the overall classification.

Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Arkea Pro Cycling Team
Arkea Pro Cycling started the season with a very thin team squad (ten riders). Managing director Emmanuel Hubert is hoping for a worthy performance from his team - not much more can be expected in the women's Tour de France. The biggest challenge for the Continental team will be to field a complete and competitive squad.

Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Canyon//SRAM Racing
Team manager Ronny Lauke had to cope with two notable departures from the World Tour team in Lisa Klein and Mikayla Harvey. Nevertheless, Poland's Kasia Niewiadoma remains one of the Tour favourites. With Ricarda Bauernfeind from Ingolstadt, Niewiadoma has a strong climber at her side.

Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling Team
The currently best-placed Continental team in the world rankings has been able to compensate well for the end of Lisa Brennauer's career. Ceratizit can certainly go toe-to-toe with the World Tour teams in some stages. Strong performances in the classics by the team led by former pro Dirk Baldinger will allow them to ride confidently into the Auvergne.
Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling Team line-up
- 191 Cedrine Kerbaol
- 192 Sandra Alonso
- 193 Maria Alice Atzuffi
- 194 Nina Berton
- 195 Arianna Fidanza
- 196 Marta Lach

Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Cofidis Women Team
As in previous years, Team Cofidis still lacks the really big names in the Continental squad. Top 20 results at Strade Bianche and Gent-Wevelgem show potential, but are not enough to make a name for themselves at the Tour. Only the German Clara Koppenburg, who joined the team in 2022, could achieve a result on mountainous stages if she is in good form.
Cofidis Women Team line-up
- 161 Clara Koppenburg
- 162 Martina Alzini
- 163 Morgane Coston
- 164 Spela Kern
- 165 Rachel Neylan
- 166 Gabrielle Pilote-Fortin
- 167 Josie Talbot
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: EF Education-TIBCO-SVB
Small but mighty - that's what you could call team manager Rachel Hedderman's transfer policy for this season. Of the three new signings, Alison Jackson (CAN) impressed straight away with her sensational Paris-Roubaix victory and junior cyclo-cross world champion Zoe Bäckstedt (GBR) with a very solid spring. With Veronica Ewers (USA), the team also has a cyclist with top ten ambitions in the line-up.
The EF Education-TIBCO-SVB range
- 81 Veronica Ewers
- 82 Letizia Borghesi
- 83 Kathrin Hammes
- 84 Alison Jackson
- 85 Sara Poidevin
- 86 Magdeleine Vallieres Mill
- 87 Georgia Williams
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: FDJ-Suez
If Marta Cavalli has fully come to terms with her horror crash at the last event, FDJ-SUEZ will have a very broad front line. With Danish champion Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig and Zwift world champion Loes Adegeest (NED), Cavalli has strong climbers at her side. The team can compete for the podium!
The FDJ-Suez line-up
- 71 Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig
- 72 Loes Adegeest
- 73 Grace Brown
- 74 Marta Cavalli
- 75 Vittoria Guazzini
- 76 Evita Muziv
- 77 Jade Wiel
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Fenix-Deceuninck
The operating company of the Belgian Roodhooft brothers also owns this team. It received the last World Tour licence for the 2023 season and ousted the German team Ceratizit-WNT. A quarter of the entire squad are world-class crossers. Yara Kastelijn could spring a surprise.
The Fenix-Deceuninck line-up
- 111 Julie De Wilde
- 112 Sanne Cant
- 113 Yara Kastelijn
- 114 Evy Kuijpers
- 115 Christina Schweinberger
- 116 Marthe Truyen
- 117 Julie Van de Velde
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Human Powered Health
With Alice Barnes (GBR, from Canyon SRAM Racing) and Audrey Cordon-Ragot (FRA), the US team was able to bring two well-known riders on board. The Frenchwoman only joined the team a few weeks ago due to Zaaf Cycling's failure to pay her salary.
The line-up from Human Powered Health
- 151 Audrey Cordon-Ragot
- 152 Alice Barnes
- 153 Henrietta Christie
- 154 Antri Christoforou

- 157 Eri Yonamine
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Israel-Premier Tech Roland
Team manager Ruben Contreras is focussing on change this season and has replaced almost the entire squad. Guaranteed success Tamara Dronova-Balabolina (RUS) has received reinforcement - the team surprisingly signed Olympic champion Anna Kiesenhofer (AUT), who, however, will not be competing in the women's Tour de France.
The line-up of Israel Prime Minister Tech Roland
- 121 Claire Steels
- 122 Fien Delbaere
- 123 Tamara Dronova-Balabolina

Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Lidl-Trek
If Lizzie Deignan is on form, she can be expected to finish in the top ten despite having a baby. Otherwise, Lucinda Brand (NED) and Amanda Spratt (AUS) have already proven that they can do week-long tours.
The Lidl-Trek line-up
- 61 Elisa Balsamo
- 62 Lucinda Brand
- 63 Lizzie Deignan
- 64 Lauretta Hanson
- 65 Elisa Longo Borghini
- 66 Ilaria Sanguineti
- 67 Amanda Spratt
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Lifeplus Wahoo
Similar to the Hotel Valkenburg team, which was not invited by ASO this year, Lifeplus Wahoo (formerly Le Col) stands for the promotion of young talent and as a springboard into the World Tour. Eight riders from the 2022 squad have currently made it into the top league of women's cycling. For them, there is therefore only one priority for the 2023 Women's Tour de France: keep learning!
The Lifeplus Wahoo line-up
- 181 Margaux Vigie
- 182 Natalie Grinczer
- 183 Typhaine Laurance

Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Liv Racing TeqFind
In Mavi García (ESP), UAE Team ADQ has signed a world-class rider with a solid track record. She will be the sole leader of the Dutch team, which should arrive with a lot of confidence thanks to Katia Ragusa's (ITA) second place at Paris-Roubaix.
The Liv Racing TeqFind line-up
- 91 Mavi Garcia
- 92 Caroline Andersson
- 93 Rachele Barbieri
- 94 Thalita de Jong

- 96 Silke Smulders
- 97 Quinty clay
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Movistar Team
Similar to the Movistar men's team around Enric Mas, the women can justifiably hope for a podium finish in Pau. Annemiek van Vleuten is still on fire in her final year as a pro, while the German Liane Lippert (from DSM) is ready to take her place. Which of the two riders will team manager Sebastian Unzue assign the leading role to?
The Movistar Team line-up
- 1 Annemiek van Vleuten
- 2 Aude Biannic
- 3 Sheyla Gutierrez
- 4 Emma Norsgaard
- 5 Liane Lippert
- 6 Floortje Mackaij
- 7 Paula Patino
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: St Michel-Mavic-Auber 93
The team, which was only founded in 2022, has made huge strides in recent months. Wheel manufacturer Mavic has been won as a co-sponsor - which is a boost, as Marion Borras' fifth place at Paris-Roubaix shows. You can expect one or two surprises from the small team from the north-west of France.
The line-up of St Michel-Mavic-Auber 93
- 141 Coralie Demay
- 142 Sandrine Bideau
- 143 Simone Boilard

Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Team Coop-Hitec Products
When the organisers of the Tour de France announced the line-up of participating teams in mid-April, the nomination of Team Coop-Hitec Products came as quite a surprise. With an average age of 23, the very young team will mainly be gaining experience in their first Tour participation.
The line-up of Team Coop-Hitec Products
- 211 Jenny Rissveds
- 212 Stine Dale
- 213 India Grangier
- 214 Sigrid Ytterhus Haugset
- 215 Tiril Jörgenson
- 216 Lucie Jounier
- 217 Josie Nelson
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Team dsm-firmenich
With the departures of Liane Lippert and Floortje Mackaij (both to Movistar) and Lorena Wiebes (to SD Worx), team boss Iwan Spekenbrink has lost three key players. The transfers will probably not be able to close this gap at the Tour. Now other riders will have to prove themselves, for example Bruges-de Panne winner Pfeiffer Georgi (GBR).
The dsm-firmenich line-up
- 51 Juliette Labous
- 52 Lea Curinier
- 53 Pfeiffer Georgi
- 54 Megan Jastrab
- 55 Charlotte Kool
- 56 Esmee Peperkamp
- 57 Elise Uijen
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Team Jayco-AlUla
With the Australian Amanda Spratt and Georgia Williams, the team had to lose two strong cyclists. Alexandra Manly, winner of the 2022 Tour of Thuringia, will try to compensate for this loss. The Jayco-AlUla team must be kept in mind for stage wins and a top place in the overall standings.
The line-up of Team Jayco-AlUla
- 171 Ane Santesteban
- 172 Jessica Allen
- 173 Teniel Campbell
- 174 Georgie Howe
- 175 Nina Kessler
- 176 Alexandra Manly
- 177 Amber Pate
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Team Jumbo-Visma
Despite a mixed spring, Marianne Vos is still hungry for success. Stage wins are possible, but Lotte Kopecky and Lorena Wiebes (both Team SD Worx) will make life difficult for her in defence of the points jersey.
The line-up of Team Jumbo-Visma
- 31 Marianne Vos
- 32 Anna Henderson
- 33 Amber Kraak
- 34 Coryn Labecki
- 35 Riejanne Markus
- 36 Karlijn Swinkels
- 37 Eva van Agt
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Team SD Worx
The industry leader of the World Tour is the favourite for the eight stages. Demi Vollering (NED) has shown no weakness in the past, and with the signing of sprinter Lorena Wiebes (NED), the points jersey should also go to the Oranjes. Anna van der Breggen, sporting director and former winner of La Course and Giro Donne, knows exactly how to win tours.
The line-up of Team SD Worx
- 11 Demi Vollering
- 12 Mischa Bredewold
- 13 Elena Cecchini
- 14 Lotte Kopecky
- 15 Christine Majerus
- 16 Marlen Reusser
- 17 Lorena Wiebes
Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: UAE Team ADQ
The Italian group around newcomers Silvia Persico and Chiara Consonni as well as former world champion Marta Bastianelli has been the guarantee for results so far this season. Bastianelli ended her career before the women's Tour de France. Persico in particular will have to do the job for the team from the Middle East.
The line-up of UAE Team ADQ
- 41 Silvia Persico
- 42 Alena Amialiusik
- 43 Olivia Baril
- 44 Chiara Consonni
- 45 Eleonora Camilla Gasparrini

Teams of the Tour de France Femmes: Uno-X Pro Cycling Team
What the sponsor - a Norwegian-Danish petrol station chain - has been striving for with the male Pro-Continental team for years, the women's team has achieved straight away - the leap into the World Tour! Hannah Ludwig, a German rider, is also in the line-up for the women's Tour de France.

- 131 Anouska Koster
