Women's Tour pressured to reroute Ventoux stage

Authorities want the stage altered if the wildfire risk is deemed 'extreme.' The women's Tour, which begins in Lausanne on Saturday, is expected to keep the famous climb to the summit of Mont Ventoux, but the current routing through the foothills could be affected.

2025 champion Ferrand-Prévot would face a sterner challenge if the route changes, though the iconic climb itself is likely to remain unchanged. toffler.lol
