• women tend to have greater endurance potential than men

    Is this true? I hadn't head this before.

    Muscle density differences between men and women mean mens racing is always going to be faster, which makes it more attractive but if there's something that gives women's cycling an advantage would certainly have the potential to improve the appalling discrepancies between how men and womens cycling is treated. Although at least it isn't as bad as football.

  • Well, I don't know if it's true, which is why I said it's a claim at this stage. It does make sense to me (I think that both men and women must have physical strengths and weaknesses), but it's really up to women racers to provide the (hopefully increasing) evidence. :)
