TOUR was on site at the Tour de France Femmes and scrutinised the road bikes of the top female riders. Here we show the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 from Lorena Wiebes.

She is the sprint queen of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2025: Lorena Wiebes won two stages and the green jersey of the best sprinter. The Dutchwoman now has a total of five stage wins at the Tour Femmes. The SD Worx - Protime team, which also employs world champion Lotte Kopecky, is equipped by Specialized with the top model S-Works Tarmac SL8.

A special feature of Wiebes' speedster is its paintwork, which honours her European Championship title from 2024. The frame and fork are in white, with the European champion banderole on the seat tube and fork. Wiebes rides a SRAM groupset, which has been decorated with green stickers on the crank arms and brake levers in honour of the green jersey; the handlebar tape and the Time pedals also feature green accents.

In terms of equipment, Wiebes' Specialized is fairly conventional: she rides a tight gear ratio of 54/41, the cranks are comparatively long at 172.5 millimetres. As with all Specialized teams, the wheels, tyres and most of the saddles are made in-house - Wiebes also rides wheels from Roval as well as tyres and saddles from the Specialized brand.
