Girls?

I guess a female version of TdF would be good. Or something with the same amount of public profile and winning status if you get what im saying.

There is also a female version of the Giro d' Italia, and there is a decent following (a actually sponsorship money) here in the old country. A number of sponsors have worked almost exclusively with women (Fanini is one of the better known here in Italy). Just google the stuff - there are a number of Eastern and Northern European women (especialy) that have been recruited and race in Italy.

As regards whether women are as good at any sport as men, there are always prodigies, there may be a woman who could beat all comers to the cycling throne right now, but another year there will be a man.

I suppose in todays world of cycling, what reallymatters is, which physiology responds better to steroids, EPO and insulin. Then you might have an answer as to who are the "better" cyclists.
