The Bretagne Ladies Tour was lacking from the 2025 UCI Road Calendar when it was printed final 12 months, prompting issues in regards to the race’s future. After reassuring that the race would go on final October, the organisers have thrown within the towel for this 12 months after failing to shut a funds shortfall.
“We are brief 37,000 euros,” race organiser Loïc Déniel instructed Le Télégramme.
The fourth version of the UCI 2.1-ranked five-stage race was scheduled to happen from May 28 to June 1. Olympic time trial champion Grace Brown (FDJ-SUEZ) received the general in 2023 and 2024.
“We had virtually all our stopover cities, we have been certain to have 20 groups, together with 4 from the WorldTour, we have been resolutely assured for these 5 days of racing.
“Unfortunately, we have been unable to lift sufficient funds. As we anticipated a drop in subsidies from native authorities, we had taken the lead by approaching personal companions. This didn’t come to fruition and as our affiliation is younger, now we have no money stream.”
Déniel promised that the race would go on sooner or later, nevertheless.
“We are already engaged on the 2026 version.”
