[QUOTE=Rob_K;839309 Second dumb question... why is there absolutely no interest in the women's TDF? I know for myself, those few times I sit behind the box, I know I'd rather watch the female Dutch hockey team than watching sweaty blokes run around a field... except for the wrestling of course.[/QUOTE]
It's a sad thing about women's sports around the world, with some exceptions. There was a race here in America called the Women's Challenge, sponsored first by Ore-Ida then Hewlett-Packard. It was a stage race with the best women from around the world and $125,000+ in prizes. A friend of mine raced it several times and was a domestique for the winning team one year. It was sad when they pulled the sponsorship.
