Calls every year for a proper ladies tour, the UCI are not interested though.

The UCI are a bit backwards regarding women’s racing. I’m surprised there wasn’t a large banner under the flamme rouge with “thanks for having a crack, poppet” written on it, in French (obvs).

I noticed it today and had no idea there was a womans race going on ! A few days ago they where talking about people turning up hours earlier to see the train before the race and people turned up to get free stuff from the sponsors . no mention at all about the womans race !

ITV 4 online i think . Thats what they said after the TT highlights and added they didnt have time to show it because it was so fantastic .

There is a 10 day women's tour - the Giro Rosa. This year and last it contained some really good racing. There's also the women's ToB but the parcours is a bit weedy compared with the Giro Rosa. There's an upcoming tour being planned in Norway next year or the year after, I forget.

We need to stop obsessing about racing in France and support the women's races that do exist.

But only the whole thing is online. They couldn't be bottomed to make a highlights show this year.

Don't know if the link works but it shows Vos' ambush. It reminded me of a similar ambush in the Giro Rosa earlier on.

I often find them more exciting for some reason.
