The Women's Tour: Guy Elliott of SweetSpot spills the beans on TV coverage, prize money, and venues for 2014's UK women's stage race http://road.cc/content/news/89427-womens-tour-guy-elliott-sweetspot-spills-beans-tv-coverage-prize-money-and-venues

Women's cycling on the biggest stage should/would attract it's own sponsorship. A women's team doesn't have to be twenty plus riders. The support staff are already in place. The idea has been taken up by a few teams already, Garmin and GreenEdge to name 2. There are already x amount of women's...

2 things need to happen. a) Women need to ride Le Tour as discussed. It's The Shop Window and women's cycling should then flourish into other events most of you lot haven't heard of but do have equal standing within the sport. ii) All of the top 20 pro tour teams should have a women's team, of...

The only part that was unpredictable was the fact Vinokourov had to nerve to collect his medal.

I'd imagine the race would be just in front of the caravan. The womens race was the day after and yes it did rain, but the race itself was completely unpredictable.

If you like. But occasionally the support act is better than the main event. Last years tour could have done with something else to watch. The Mens Olympic road race couldn't hold a candle to the womens event, (on the same course) for action.

:facepalm: The Womans Tour will be run in conjunction with the men's. Setting off earlier on shorter courses. The fans will already be in place for the race. The media will already be in place. The TV audience will be watching.
