I was a pro men's rider, never good enough for the TDF. After 20 years of marriage, my wife has now become addicted to cycling. She can't get enough of it, and rides more miles per week than I do. After 1 month of riding, she did her first 75 mile ride, by herself. The TDF has always been my Superbowl/World Cup, and for the first time she's just as interested in it. The TDF Femme is hugely anticipated in our house now. It's great to see it back, and hopefully it gets extended. Give the women the chance to show what they're made of, give them the full 21.
As a former pro men’s rider, you should be fully aware that a 21 stage GT simple isn’t feasible for the women right now. Budgets aren’t there. Teams aren’t large enough. Etc. etc. etc.
@cincydooley I was a pro rider at the same time as Miguel Indurain, I don't have a clue about the current teams budget. Sponsorships back then meant we got discounts on equipment, but still had to buy a lot of it with our own money, but were paid peanuts.
@cincydooley When did I say no clue about anything? You don't need extreme budgets, my previous statement proves that, you're simply used to high budgets. You don't need large teams, for decades it wasn't ran like that, and frankly we saw more of the athleticism of each rider, rather than their pocketbooks. Several of the women have requested to be allowed to run the 21 stages, so the want and drive are there. You seem to be the clueless one, the myopic one, the one that believes because it's this way, there is NO other way. Foolish
I hesitated to see this video, and when I finally did, it was way beyond my expectations. What a wonderful documentary. Many millions of people should see it. I'm so glad that now women are able to race the TDF again. Thanks 🥰
What a great video, so toughing, so beautiful. I always think the independence and liberation of women no matter in what circumstance is not only for women themself but for all the human beings, keep moving! Allez
Como si no estuviera yo ya muy emocionado por el Le Tour Femmes 2023, me traen esta maravilla.¡Qué bello deporte! ¡Qué bella va a ser esta edición de Le Tour Femmes!
The Women's Tour of France, is the pinnacle of cycling on Earth, more than Track, MTB, and other disciplines. They should receive the Ultimate Respect, and comfortable financial lifestyle. They are an expression of GOD'S EXISTENCE. ✝️🙏
