With its new organiser from last year, the race is once again part of the World Tour. Marianne Voss won for the first time in 2014, with Lisa Brennauer from Germany taking the overall victory just one year later. Lotte Kopecky from the Netherlands triumphed at the last event in 2024. Lizzie Deignan holds the record with two victories in 2016 and 2019.
Tour of Britain Women 2025: The route
The four-day tour starts in Dalby Forest in the North York Moors and ends with a circuit in Glasgow. Challenging stretches await along the way, with climbs such as Saltburn Bank, which could bring a first preliminary decision with gradients of up to 15 per cent.
The route first leads through the picturesque landscape of the North York Moors before heading north along the coast. A challenging stage around Kelso awaits in the Scottish Borders before the race culminates in Glasgow. In total, the riders have to cover around 422 kilometres.
Most of the stage locations for the Tour of Britain 2025 can already look back on experience with major cycling races. Dalby Forest hosted a stage of the men's Tour in 2008. Redcar, Hartlepool and Saltburn-by-the-Sea have also hosted stages of the Tour of Britain in recent years. The Scottish Borders have been a permanent guest of the men's tour with ten stages since 2009. Glasgow forms the crowning finale of the Tour. Two years after the UCI Road Cycling World Championships, top-class cycling returns to the Scottish metropolis. The circuit leads past famous sights and promises a spectacular finale. A cycling festival with numerous activities for families and spectators will take place on Glasgow Green.
