LONDON - Colombian Egan Bernal will win the Tour de France in Paris on Sunday but 10 intrepid amateur women riders can claim bragging rights after going further, higher and completing the three-week trek 24 hours earlier.
Riding each of the 21 stages the day before men, the Internationelles survived boiling heat, freezing cold and 30 mountain climbs across the Vosges, Pyrenees and the Alps. “I don’t know about tougher ,” Louise Dixon, a 41-year-old mum of two who only took up cycling five years ago, told Reuters as she prepared for ‘glory ride’ into Paris along with Alex Chart, Carmen Acampo, Helen Bridgman, Helen Sharp, Julie-Anne Hazlett, Louise Gibson, Lucy Ritchie, Pippa Lyon, Sara Beck and Sarah Anne Evans.
Instead, the Internationelles joined their French counterparts on the road and the message appears to be getting across with Amaury Sport Organization , the owners of the Tour, saying they were looking to launch a major women’s race.
