They were having an interesting discussion with Dani Rowe about ways to improve the status of women's cycling, and came up with the theory of mandating World Tour teams to have a women's team.
I wonder how that would go down with the Bahrain/UAE teams.
I really don't like the way that cycling is becoming a way of giving some kind of legitimacy to racist or sexist regimes.

Yeah. I don’t know if we need men’s teams having to have women’s teams, the sponsors might not be relevant in both markets. What Women’s cycling needs is more coverage and more women cycling - more coverage brings more money. But I’m a bloke and I do t really know, I’m not really entitled to an opinion but that’s my understanding.

If they really want women's cycling to be high profile/equal then they need to make it so that the team's mens results are dependant on the team's womens results in some way.
E.g. one day of the men's TDF is ridden by women and Froome can't finish first if his female team mates lose loads of time for his GC position.
