Yes there is it is called La Tour de France Féminin and colloquially known as le Grande Boucle. It has shrunk in stature since its birth in 1984, and has been reduced from 15 stages in the 1990s stages to 4 in 2009. Despite this, British riders have been very successful, Nicole Cooke recording wins in 2006 and 2007 and Emma Pooley winning in 2009.
Yes, it is the "Grande Boucle" (one of the Grand Tours of women's cycle races).
Until 1997, it was called the Tour Cycliste Féminin, or simply Tour Féminin.
not in the men's tour. There is a women's Tour de France, called the Grande Boucle F�minine Internationale.
B/c at that level of extended effort, men simply has too much of an advantage for a mixed race to make any sense. There's a shorter female version of the race instead.
For a woman to win the Tour, they would have to race the Tour. Currently, men ride the Tour de France and women ride the Tour de France Feminin, which is a cycling grand tour for women.
No.
The "big" TdF is a men-only event, but there is a woman's version too. It's nowhere near as popular. I've never seen it televised and I'm not even sure they do it every year.
Well, they could, but at that level of extended effort, men simply has too much of an advantage for a mixed race to make any sense. There's a shorter, all female version of the race instead.
As of July 2013, women are not allowed to ride in the Tour De France. It is not yet known if this is something that may be implemented in the near future.
