Some history
The women Tour de France does not exist Since 1989.
Formerly, the women’s stage race had the same status and media coverage as the men’s one.
Nowadays it is a time when professional riders and amateurs get together to draw attention to the reality of women cycling and to set off the revival of a great women stage race in France.
