The 2025 Tour of Guangxi Women will once again bring the Women’s WorldTour season to a close, continuing its tradition as the tropical finale on China’s southern roads. Introduced in 2017 and promoted to WorldTour status the following year, the race has become a unique late-October showcase for fast finishers and opportunists alike. Over the years, its winners’ list has reflected both experience and breakthrough moments – from Arlenis Sierra’s dominant victory in 2018 to Chloe Hosking’s sprint triumph in 2019, Daria Pikulik’s explosive finish in 2023, and Sandra Alonso’s perfectly timed move last year.
For 2025, the Tour of Guangxi Women is set to retain its one-day format around the city of Guilin, a region known for its lush karst peaks and humid, heat-laden air that often makes the race more demanding than its profile suggests. The course traditionally mixes urban circuits with short but testing climbs, encouraging aggressive racing from teams still hunting for a late-season result.
Last year’s edition saw Alonso seize her first WorldTour victory after escaping alongside Giada Borghesi, the pair holding off a chasing peloton to settle the race between them. In 2023, Pikulik bookended her season with victory in both the opening and closing Women’s WorldTour rounds, underlining the race’s growing reputation as a meaningful full stop on the calendar rather than an afterthought.
Now, as the 2025 Women’s WorldTour enters its final weekend, attention turns once more to Guangxi. With temperatures expected to hover around 30°C and the usual mix of punchy climbs and fast finishing terrain, this year’s edition promises another fierce contest between sprinters, late attackers, and those seeking to leave their mark on the final day of the season.
