Looking Forward

The Tour de France Femmes represents beginning, not conclusion, of equality struggle. Expansion to three weeks, prize money parity, and equal media coverage remain distant goals. Cultural change—viewing women's racing as equally legitimate rather than secondary attraction—requires generational shift.

Youth Development

Sustainable equality requires youth development investment. Girls need cycling programs, coaching support, and clear professional pathways. The Tour de France Femmes provides visible career pinnacle, but supporting infrastructure must develop. This includes regional races, development teams, and cultural shift viewing cycling as gender-neutral sport.
