That's so awesome! I'm glad the UCI is giving the Women's Tour flexibility in their scheduling and stuff. I know they get to do longer stages but the average stage length requirement has previously made it virtually impossible for them to do mountain stages.

It shows that like, British Cycling is willing to improve (tho their track record w/ para-cycling is still shameful); the UCI is willing to improve (tho did anything come of that report that found a significant number of male and female cyclists were victims of economic and often sexual abuse?); it's really the ASO that is holding shit back in terms of women's cycling in France.
