Hey there Tess
By "equal" I mean being able to compete on equal footing with men in an event like le Tour de France

By "equivalent" I am referring to the fact that for the same time spent training, same dedication, same pain, women can acieve on an similar footing but in women's races.

If we were "equal" in cycling, then genders would be mixed all the way to the top.

But we are "equivalent" in cycling, so women will not race in the mens Tour or Giro, they will race in the women's Tour or Giro.

Does that help?
