The 2023 Festival Elsy Jacobs will run over two stages, with the first running over 111.1km from Luxembourg – Steinfort and the second 115.8km from Luxembourg to Garnich. Both days are up and down throughout the racing, creating ample opportunities for splits and attacks.
In 2022, after Anna Henderson won the prologue Marta Bastianelli took victory on the first stage to step into the yellow jersey of the leader. In the second stage Bastianelli came over the line behind Veronica Ewers. That was enough for the UAE Team ADQ rider to holding firm on the overall.
The start lists are yet to be confirmed but are bound to be impacted by the shift of the La Vuelta Femenina from late in the season to May 1 to 7.
