I see why ladies races are not promoted, a vicious circle really but at the same time wonder why even one day races arebwatered down versions of the men's.

Nicole is indeed one of cycling' greats, along with Beryl Burton. I'm also aware that she is Welsh but I'm not sure what year she was in the men's TDF?

But we should also salute those who ride this race at all; most of the riders on this road of broken dreams consider it a personal triumph just to be able start the race, leave alone finish it, riding each day with little hope of fame or glory.
cheers

Not forgetting that those who win can't do it alone and wouldn't stand an earthly without the backing of a great team behind them,that includes management,mechanics,etc,right down to the bus driver.They all play their part to a greater or lesser degree.
