Women to have their own Le Tour in Paris
Coinciding with the final stage of the 2014 Tour de France, the elite of women’s cycling will come together on July 27 for the first edition of La Course by Le Tour de France.
The event is destined to become an iconic race in the women’s calendar.
A few hours before the men’s peloton arrives in Paris, the world’s elite women cyclists will race the circuit in the historic heart of the city before fighting out a final sprint at the finish line on the Champs-Elysees.
La Course by Le Tour has attracted the interest of the world’s top women riders.
Brian Cookson, president of the UCI, the world governing body said: "The quality of professional women’s road racing has long deserved a wider audience. Women’s racing on the iconic parcours of the Champs Elysees is a tremendous step forward."
Marianne Vos, Olympic and Triple World Champion in road racing added: "I have no doubt that La Course by Le Tour identifies a new era for women’s cycling and will significantly contribute to the growth of road racing."
