Proceeding one day ahead of the men, 12 fierce amateur women riders supported by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skoda.co.uk\/about-us\/cycling\/j-1\/\">\u0160koda<\/a>\u00a0have been completing their own circuit of the Tour. Accompanied by a rotating cast of other enthusiastic cyclists who join them each day to get in on the action, these warriors are seriously challenging the case against having an official Tour de France race for women.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=VK5M0tvzTLc params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/VK5M0tvzTLc\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Donnons des Elles au V\u00e9lo began four years ago when, at the age of 29, rider Claire Floret decided that the lack of an official women\u2019s Tour de France wasn\u2019t going to stop her from challenging her limits and seeing if she had what it took to complete the track. Alongside two other cyclists, they completed the entirety of the race and proved that women could ride just as hard, and just as long, as the men.<\/p>\n<p>Following a 6-year stint in the 80s, where the women rode first and completed half the distance of the men, the women\u2019s Tour de France was cancelled due to a proclaimed lack of interest from the sponsors. Another blow to gender equality in cycling, the official Tour de France organizers have been hesitant about commenting on the possibility of a women\u2019s Tour resurgence. Nevertheless, in 2015, Floret and her teammates decided that something needed to be done, so they went ahead and rode the track on their own terms, completing the full distance of each stage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/07\/37904691_1926447557664940_4981139148178980864_o-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone

when she was one of the scientists working on a medical study about cardiac fatigue that the riders were participating in. \u201cWhen I discovered that they were fighting for women&#8217;s equality and understood the values of the project (besides the fact that I love cycling) I decided to participate as well,\u201d she told us.<\/p>\n<p>This year Barrero is out there alongside 11 other riders who make up an accomplished group of scientists, teachers, journalists, mothers, and all-around awesome women. None of them are professional cyclists and despite the very different lives they lead the rest of the year, they unite each July for a common cause: to draw attention to the reality of women\u2019s cycling and to demand a revival of the women\u2019s Tour de France.<\/p>\n<p>The objectives put forth by Donnons des Elles au V\u00e9lo (which translates literally to \u201cgive wings to the bike,\u201d but also evokes a nice double entendre in French meaning, \u201cgives her the bike\u201d) are straightforward and well-defined. First and foremost, they want to promote women\u2019s cycling and unite cyclists of different styles and levels, from beginners to professionals. They do this by encouraging riders of all skills levels to join them on the track each day, whether for a few dozen kilometres or for the entire stage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/07\/37815077_1926447534331609_1565249119620956160_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-166558\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/07\/37815077_1926447534331609_1565249119620956160_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1729\" height=\"1151\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Barrero explained: \u201cWe would like to tell all women that they don&#8217;t have\u00a0to be afraid of riding a bike or of anything else in their lives.\u201d The message is, \u201cget out and do what you want. Ride a mile, a tour or whatever you wish, but feel free to decide. We need to have the same opportunities as men and that starts by showing that we can do anything we set our minds to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to encouraging other women riders, Donnons des Elles au V\u00e9lo are also looking to put pressure on race organizers and authorities to relaunch a proper women\u2019s race ASAP and as they prove for themselves what women are capable of, the question is going to get harder to ignore. Meanwhile, they\u2019re working to increase the overall media coverage of women\u2019s cycling in order to change the image, break the stereotype and expose the heterogeneity present in sport.<\/p>\n<p>What started as a group of 3 four years ago, Donnons des Elles has already quadrupled into a team of 12, not to mention the hundreds of other riders who have had the chance to ride part of the Tour de France track thanks to these women\u2019s leadership. We look forward to seeing that number go up again next year as their project continues to grow and more and more women riders refuse to be told \u201cno\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a
