Someone else also mentioned about the shorter stages. They used to say that about the marathon at the Olympics and proved to be wrong. Again, they are going to have to pregress to that point and need more women to get involved so the time gaps aren't huge.
That's good. It'll be a hour or so before I get time to watch the replay. I do want the women's tours to succeed and be a thing for years to come. Is there any reason why women don't do a grand tour? Or is it just previous lack interest of the broadcast networks televising it, organizers and fan support?
