I agree. I don't even think they should have a women's Tour De France. If I entered the TDF with my old, slow butt I would not want them making a special class for old, slow butts so I could say I won or even placed. And that is because my prize would just be actually participating at all in it, even if I finished a week after the next fastest finisher. One of our local TTs has a "single-speed" category, and if I ran my single-speed road bike in it I would ignore it and just enter as I would not want that sort of win, where I had the only single-speed in the race and got a trophy or some mention for it. That would make me barf.........
