The campaigner of Tour de France for women, Kathryn Bertine, expressed her disappointment due to the Tour de France organizers efforts. She thought that Tour de France organizers had failed her. But her disappointment was cured with the fact that the organizers have gotten her messages.

As we know, Amaury Sport Organisation set up La Course by Le Tour although didn’t manage to stage the race for any reason.

The campaign which suggests the women’s Tour de France has been up and running from time to time. It is thanks to the pressure group which has been campaigning for the Women’s Tour de France, Le Tour Entier. Not only Kathryn herself, but other people might describe herself as a nuisance for formal sport organizations. But when asked with this, she just said that she was proud of it.

Kathryn is not working by herself. Back then in 2014, she lobbied Amaury Sport Organisation with the pressure group’s co-founders Emma Pooley, Chrissie Wellington, as well as Marianne Vos. They approached Amaury Sport Organisation to manage La Course by Le Tour. It is slated as the female version of Tour de France. It involves a one-day women’s race which will be running alongside the men’s version of the Tour de France. It has been six years since the initiation. Obviously, the pressure group has run out of patience.

Bertine boldly stated that ASO had failed them. Well, it is because Both Le Tour Entier and Amaury Sport Organisation had good understanding at first. But it seems that ASO is not keeping up the deal. They did not develop the La Course for the women’s Tour de France. Kathryn also added that ASO failed to do what they promised. But she added that all the members of Le Tour Entier were happy that ALSO had gotten their messages.

There is a good reason behind Kathryn’s satisfaction.

Bertine directly referred to the comments made by Tour’s race director, Christian Prudhomme about the plan which focuses on the woman’s race staging possibility which would take place in the summer. But they would proceed after the men’s race had finished.

Prudhomme’s comments indirectly made a great impact on the future of the women’s Tour de France. It is also a good sign that the women’s version of the Tour de France will come into reality. If you are an avid fan who has been waiting for this to happen, I am sure this news will get you hyped.

We know what’s the deal with the pandemic domino effects on the sports world. There are tons of sport schedules that are changed, postponed, and even cancelled. Obviously, these are not good news since you won’t be able to watch the usual spectacle from your part.

Amongst this jeopardy, the 2020 Tour de France comes as one of the sport events that experience the same fate. Back then in the early 2020, we already knew what the officials provided to us so that we could watch the whole thing without any hassle or fuss. But the pandemic changed it.

There are first impressions to share regarding the changes.

While the 2020 Tour De France is postponed, A.S.O. planned to reveal the new schedule by the end of this month. So, we will not hear anything from officials until the 30th of June.

The officials have confirmed that the official new dates will be available on June 30th.

While some parties are still struggling with the women’s Tour de France, ASO is looking for reviving the women’s Tour de France.

Our trustworthy sources have confirmed the information. Tour de France organizer also mentioned their interests in reviving the women’s version of the Tour de France.

Back then, the first women’s Tour took place in 1955 and organized by Paris-Nice director Jean Leulliot. But the peak popularity of the Women ‘s version of Tour de France was from 1984 to 1989. At that time windows, the event was held in the same season as the men’s race. The women’s version would finish earlier in the day of the event. From 1990, the officials transformed it into the CEE Tour. But the project was not up for running in 1993.

Since then, there were no exact events to note except the Cycliste Feminin which took place from 1992 until 1997, the Grande Boucle Feminine Internationale from 1998 to its last show in 2009. Since 2009, we have never enjoyed the women’s cycling competitions. There are huge waves of the demands from the diehard fans of cycling sport that the organizers must pay more attention to the women’s championship as well.

ASO had actually made the soft launch when holding the LA Course by Tour de France in 2014. But it was not a full course event. Now they are interested in conducting the full stage race. Of course, it is also good news for you if you’re rooting for the female version of the Tour de France.
