same profile as the mens



Fignon - In my day, doping methods were derisory and the riders´exploits were massive.
For the last 15 years or so  it has been the other way rond: there is a huge number of ways in which riders can dope, and any exploits are derisory.

Right I am going to have a rant

I found some results listen above.

went looking for videos to post - nothing

stage 5 for the mens is up so time should not be an issue - why can we not get a 4 min highlights of the womens ITT - you get all this positive press ToC for having a womens race at the mens - but it all bullsh*t.

If you were really in it to do the right thing and promote womens racing there would be highlights and a womens race maybe even a 3 day event

1 day sprint

1 day ITT

1 day MTF

be a great race and even better for the sport of women cycling. I know it will be too hard to ask for as a video seems too hard.

thank god for the 2012 Exergy Tour

right that my rant over not that it will change much

I agree JSG, it feels like this ITT is a cop-out. The organisers can claim that they support the women's sport without organising or publicising a proper race.

Complete Farce. Organisers invite certain people, sponsors cough up some money and basically give it to Exergy.

Nearly as farcical as the Exergy Tour which is sponsored by Exergy and tailor made to make sure that Armstrong gets the win.

And guess what, its a UCI event this year so it carries Olympic qualifiying points.

Farce!
