The Women's Tour de France faces pressure to reroute a key Mont Ventoux stage next Friday due to wildfire risks in Provence.

The Women's Tour de France is facing pressure to alter its key stage to the summit of Mont Ventoux next Friday amid wildfire threats in Provence. Authorities want the stage rerouted if the fire risk is deemed 'extreme'.

The women's Tour, which begins in Lausanne on Saturday, is expected to keep the famous climb to the top of the 'Giant of Provence,' though the current routing through Ventoux's foothills could be affected. This presents a sterner challenge for 2025 champion Ferrand-Prévot. ipl-today.in
