Liv AlUla Jayco will line up at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift with an aggressive and offensive team in search of stage success. The Australian squad boasts an all-round team, full of experience and youth, composed of Ruby Roseman-Gannon, Mavi Garcia, and Letizia Paternoster.
With the addition of an extra stage for the 2025 edition of the race, more opportunities are available and the team is ready to seize every chance during the nine days of racing in France.
Fast Finishers
After being forced to abandon the race in 2024, Tour of Britain stage winner Roseman-Gannon is back and hungry for more. The former Australian road race champion will have the opportunity to ride aggressively throughout the race and play an important role for her teammates.
Italian sprinter Paternoster will give the team more options in fast finales, with the 25-year-old eager to improve on her early-season form that saw her wear the red jersey at the Vuelta Femenina.
Ruby Roseman-Gannon
"This will be my third Tour de France Femmes and I'm really motivated and excited to race with such a strong team in the biggest cycling race of the year. I've had an excellent training block and feel mentally and physically ready.
"I think we're close to something big as a team, we're racing well together. We can expect some hectic stages, and that's why it will be very important to gel as a team and pedal together.
The course has a good mix of decisive, sprint, and mountain stages. The last four stages are apparently more difficult than they look on paper, so we can expect really tough races in the second half of the Tour. Personally, I think an additional stage and a longer Tour make sense. This is partly due to the historical significance of three-week Grand Tours, but also because it increases opportunities for breakaways to win, since the favorites can't participate in all stages".
Climbing Talent
Former New Zealand champion Ella Wyllie will add depth to the team's climbing ranks, with the 22-year-old eager to return to racing after fighting for the white jersey in her first appearance two seasons ago.
Italian talent Monica Trinca Colonel will have her first taste of the Tour de France in her second full season of racing. The 26-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2025 after securing top 10 positions in the general classification at La Vuelta Femenina and the UAE Tour.
Meanwhile, Dutch all-rounder Silke Smulders has continued to strengthen and the 24-year-old will once again seek to race on the right foot after an offensive performance to complete the recent Giro d'Italia Femminile.
Brent Copeland – General Manager
"It's always special to return to the Tour de France Femmes. It's incredible to see how the event has grown year after year. It's truly exciting for the sport and for all the athletes in the women's group, and we're proud to be part of it once again.
With the level of women's cycling increasing every year, team selection becomes even more challenging, but we believe together with the performance group that we've assembled a team capable of challenging the best over the nine stages.
It seems that the crowd on the roadside and at the start and finish keeps getting larger each year, and I'm sure it will be the same this year. The Tour de France Femmes has become a highlight event in the cycling calendar and means a lot to our riders, staff, and our trusted and loyal partners. We can't wait to start in Vannes".
