    Here’s a post on how to follow the Women’s Tour, 7th-11th May :

    http://prowomenscycling.com/2014/05/04/womens-tour-of-britain-2014-live/

    Lots of links đŸ™‚ and it’s even on the telly! Will have to set the recorder box.

    CW devoted some pages to it in this week’s issue, would be good if road.cc could do a feature and keep us informed.

    That was because Le Tour had her listed as guy, along with another rider. But Road.cc had no issues. She was in the startlist and scored points.

    Did Marianne Vos actually compete today? According to Le Tour, she neither started nor finished the race….? What’s up?

    Yeah I know….my reasonable head made me include it in the Forum’s Scorum’s league at least…..my unreasonable head is calling for the Under 12’s local criteriums to be included!!

    I appreciate that female cycling is a serious sport but even it’s most fervent supoorters must admit that there has been a problem with either startlists or results in every race so far?

    It is called fantasy cycling, not mens fantasy cycling.

    You do know the females actually cycle…. :))

    A cyclist is a cyclist to me though.

    You’re not expected to, if you don’t want to play the women’s races you’re not forced to.

    There are plenty of fantasy women’s football games around for those that actually want to play them.

    Same with basketball, hockey etc – it’s just a question of whether or not you want to play them. Just because it’s not necessarily AS popular doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve a platform.
