Little by little women’s sport is gaining prominence. Perhaps not at the desired pace, but at least a positive trend has been generated. For some time, many organizations have been working to promote and promote the presence of women in their tests, while the private sector is beginning to bet on this new space.
Now, in the professional world, a great step forward has been taken. The Women’s Tour was born to position itself as one of the 3 great tests, along with the Giro and the Tour, in an increasingly tight calendar.
Between May 1 and 7, this new international test will be held, with 7 stages, and a final arrival of great caliber, the ascent to Lagos de Covadonga.
The Women’s Tour will begin in Torrevieja, a coastal town in the province of Alicante and closely linked to cycling, since it hosted the start of the ’19 Vuelta with a team time trial.
The entire event can be followed on Teledeporte, an essential fact for it to gain the necessary relevance and become a benchmark sports event worldwide.
And yes, the truth is that it is a very strong bet. With this change, La Vuelta proposes a stage tour at the level of the best in the world, which will also contribute to the promotion of national women’s cycling.
The participation of the Movistar Team, but also that of 9 other Spanish formations, such as Massi-Tactic, Zaaf Team or Laboral Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi will give many riders the opportunity to compete with the best in the international peloton.
