It might be a good idea to start by writing to British Cycling, Aviva and the other 'partners' of the Tour of Britain to clarify their stance on it. If the Tour of Britain was vocally podium-girl free then perhaps other races may follow. Or maybe aiming higher, for a GT or a Classic, though less likely to succeed, might be more effective.
Either way, I'm fully behind it. I was watching the highlights the other day when my fiancée noticed the podium girls and was struck by how outdated and ridiculous it is. You can't argue with that, it's just daft really.
