Cycling's world governing body confirmed that the women's Tour de France will return in 2022 after a 33-year absence and will be held after the men's event.
The race, which was previously held from 1984 to 1989, will take place from 24-31 July, starting on the final day of the men's tour.
Giro d'Italia Donne also returns to the women's WorldTour calendar after it was downgraded to a second tier event for failing to comply with TV broadcast regulations.
The Women's Tour, held in Britain, will return to its usual summer slot in 2022, running from 6-11 June , after the 2021 edition was postponed to October due to the Covid-19 pandemic
