Daydreaming here...

[RoadRaven]

actually there are European Women Pro Races - I can't remember them all right now but there is a Womens version of the Giro and I believe there is a womens version of the Tour. The womens T-Mobile team races in them.

Yes... I know... but they are women's races... and I meant that for a woman to aspire to ride in something like the Tour de France with people like Armstrong, Ulrich or DaveZ is an unrealistic goal... you have to recognise the limitations of a female body to build effective muscle and enter races accordingly.

The top echelon of female cyclists are fantastic, and pound for pound may even be better atheletes than men - but they are not in the ball park of their elite male counterparts.

Just look at the results in Olympics, or compare Mens/Womens Giro or Mens Womens Tour... men and women will never compete together

I should have included some of the womens races in my little say. Apologies for being unclear

I was just trying to explain to Blue that any pro race goals she sets herself need to be gender realistic
