No Women In Tour De France

The above listed also have technical aspect, as in , the horse is as much or more of a part of the competition as is the rider. I don't think you can say the same thing about a bike.

And let's not forget the One Fly competition.

To echo one of the things SK said, ultradistance events offer a chance for women to compete alongside men. I spent part of my holiday reading up on Ezster Horanyi, the women who recently finished seventh overall and first among women at this year's Tour Divide.

I do think that Canondale's TDF women's group is kinda neet.

If there was a woman who could ride TdF with the men I suspect then her femaleness would come into question.

(I watched the doco on Caster the SA runner who had to pass "sex" tests as people thought she was too male.)

Or that she was taking testrosogen.
