For decades the Tour de France was exclusive to men, only rectified as recently as 2022 when the Tour de France Femmes made its debut as an annual event for women cyclists. The 2026 Tour de France Femmes runs from 1-9 August and covers 1,175km through Switzerland and France, including Mount Ventoux, a notoriously difficult climb.
The idea of having a women’s Tour de France had been around for decades, and a one-off event was held in France in 1955. From 1984 to 2009, annual women’s races were held under differing names but were not under the Tour de France umbrella. They suffered from lack of financial stability and poor media coverage.
In 2013 a group of professional women cyclists began lobbying for a women’s Tour de France. The following year, Tour de France organisers agreed to a 1-day race for women known as La Course, on the Champs-Élysées in advance of the final stage of the men’s race. From 2014-2021 La Course was held in different locations around France but always in conjunction with the men’s Tour de France. While the women’s race was initially praised for shining a light on women’s cycling, it was criticised for not allowing the women to cycle a full course and for not having a challenging enough route.
In 2022 the organisers of Tour de France agreed to a Tour de Frances Femmes that covered 8 days of cycling, with identical classifications to the men and the yellow, green, polka dot and white jerseys.
Key Australian cyclists to watch out for in the 2026 Tour de Femmes include Amanda Spratt – one of the Australian greats in her final season – and crucial support riders Lauretta Hanson and Mackenzie Coupland. ... See MoreSee Less

The transformation of the former House with No Steps site at 60 Fellowship Dr, Doonan is demonstrating how underutilised community assets can be revitalised to deliver positive outcomes for local young people and their families.
After sitting largely unused for 8yrs, the property has been restored to support the Regional Reset program, operated by the Ted Noffs Foundation. The facility now includes accommodation, counselling and learning spaces, a renovated Great Hall, and landscaped gardens featuring a gathering area inspired by Indigenous yarning circles.
The centre supports at-risk young people aged 8-17yo through intensive early-intervention programs aimed at reducing involvement in the justice system. Participants undertake a 1-3 week residential “reset” camp with 24/7 supervision, followed by ongoing support for up to 15 weeks. Programs include life and employment skills training, mentoring, education, family counselling, cultural engagement and recreational activities.
Ted Noffs Foundation CEO Matt Noffs said the organisation’s focus on structure, accountability and treatment helps create positive pathways for young people while strengthening community safety.
Sandy Bolton MP praised the initiative, highlighting the importance of connection, support and positive engagement in helping young people overcome challenges and reach their potential. ... See MoreSee Less

The Sunshine Coast will welcome one of the world’s premier youth Rugby 7s tournaments for the first time when the Global Youth Sevens Australia takes place at Kawana Sports Precinct, Bokarina, on December 12&13.
Sevens Rugby is a speedy, skilful and social game with 2 seven-minute halves with 7 players per team. It’s one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
Featuring U14, U16 and U18 boys’ and girls’ divisions, the tournament is expected to attract teams from across Qld, Australia and overseas, bringing emerging rugby talent together on the Sunshine Coast.
Building on the success of a pilot event held on the Gold Coast in 2023, the tournament reflects the growing popularity of Rugby 7s ahead of its continued prominence on the road to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Since 2016, the Global Youth Sevens has helped develop future stars of the sport, with more than 70 former participants progressing to national honours, including Olympic, Commonwealth Games and World Championship representation.
