Movistar have confirmed that Annemiek van Vleuten will seek back-to-back success in the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, with Emma Norsgaard, Liane Lippert, Aude Biannic, Floortje Mackaij, Paula Patiño and Sheyla Gutiérrez completing the seven-rider Movistar line-up for the women’s Grande Boucle that begins in Clermont-Ferrand on Sunday.

Van Vleuten will retire at the end of 2023 but still dominates the hardest stage races in women’s cycling and won the recent Giro Donne leading the race from start to finish.
