The women's team of Arkéa - B&B Hotels presents a promising squad for the Tour de France Femmes 2025 with a mix of sprinters and riders who could have a chance of a top-10 finish in the overall classification.
Mountain rider with potential for the overall classification
One of the key riders in the team is the Austrian Valentina Cavallar. The 24-year-old climbing specialist has attracted attention in recent seasons with strong performances in mountain stages. This year, the rider can already boast an eighth place at the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas. Lotte Claes can also have a say in the mountains. However, if the top favourites start to attack, it could be difficult for Cavallar and Claes to follow.
Sprint talent with stage win ambitions
Another promising rider in the line-up is Dutch rider Marjolein van't Geloof. The 27-year-old has established herself as a strong sprinter in recent years and is aiming for her first stage win at the Tour de France Femmes 2025. With her top speed, van't Geloof is a serious candidate for top placings, especially on the flat stages.
Experienced drivers injured
Both Laura Asencio and Emilia Fahlin were injured at this year's Tour of Spain. Asencio is still unable to race, while Fahlin started again at the Tour of Norway, but did not finish the first stage.
