High profile events for women are what we asked for – and that’s exactly what we got!

The 2014 Women’s Tour spanned May 7 – May 11, it drew high profile riders, including Marianne Vos, as well as huge crowds who lined the barriers.

The Tour will be back for 2015 – and riders are already stating aims to target the event.

As well as The Women’s Tour, we enjoyed La Course, a one day women’s crit at the end of the Tour de France which came about with thanks to dedication from ‘La Tour Entier’ – a group made up of Emma Pooley, Kathryn Bertine, Mariane Vos and Chrissie Wellington.

The race, sponsored by Specialized women, will also be repeated this year, and winner Vos said of the event: “the launch of this race is a revolutionary development in our sport.”
