Why isn't there a completely different race for Women? It would get enough women to compete, don't you think?
The Grande Boucle Féminine Internationale (grrls TdF) a 6 stage tour, which supposedly ran June 28-July 2 this year. The website (if you can read French) is:

Notice it occured the week before the TdF... anybody hear anything about it?
Didn't think so.
For the full UCI calendar for Elite Women go to: http://www.uci.ch/imgArchive/Calenda...005-FEMMES.pdf
As for a magazine... that would be great, but again it takes money. WomenSport mag started out great and ended up looking like a mini-Cosmo. Perhaps all of us that subscribe/purchase VeloNews, ProCycling, CyclingNews, etc should hit them all with an email/letter campaign demanding "equal" coverage.
I don't mean to be so harsh, but as an original Title 9 baby I've seen it over and over again since the early '70's.
