The Women's WorldTour will conclude at the first-ever edition of Tour de Romandie Féminin held from October 7-9 in Switzerland. There will be nothing easy about the three-day race set to take place in the surrounding mountains with a decisive stage 2 summit finish at Thyon 2000.

The Tour de Romandie is a long-standing event on the men's WorldTour that held its 75th edition this year and was won by Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe).
