Simac Ladies Tour 2022: Schedule, Routes, Livestream, and Teams

The 24th edition of one of the most exciting events of the UCI Women’s World Tour, the Simac Ladies Tour 2022, has just begun in the Netherlands. Here is all you need to know about this cycling competition.

Previously known as Holland Ladies Tour, the inaugural race was held in 1998. Simac Ladies Tour used to be categorized as a 2.1 level racing event on the tour. However, it got promoted to 2.2 in 2017 due to its importance as one of the late-season races.



This event has been taking place annually since then with the exception of 2020. In 2022, the 6-day long race started on the 30th of August with many of the top riders and top teams participating.

Defending Champion:  Chantal van den Broek-Blaak

The star players  to join the 2022 iteration of the race include current champion Chantal van den Broek-Blaak (SD Worx), two-time winner Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar), and four-time winner Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma).



Van den Broek-Blaak will be aiming to win her third Simac in 2022. With the solid team of SD Worx alongside her, it is very much possible.

However, the favorite team has to be Trek-Segafredo as their leading rider, the current world champion, Ellen van Dijk, is back in the action. She is accompanied by a super strong team consisting of riders like Chloe Hosking, Lauretta Hanson, Amalie Dideriksen, Elynor Backstedt, and Audrey Cordon-Ragot.
