Teams

edit

Eight of the nine UCI Women's WorldTeams and ten UCI Women's Continental Teams made up the eighteen teams that participated the race. Each team entered a full squad of six riders, but two Alé BTC Ljubljana riders had to pull out prior to the start of the race.[2][3] This left 106 riders who started the race, of which 67 finished.

For the same reason, Karlijn Swinkels, who was second in the young rider classification, wore the white jersey.[17]
  • On stage 3, Kirchmann and Swinkels continued to wear their respective jerseys, but with Emma Norsgaard Jørgensen as the leader of the general classification.[18]
