  • this is ground breaking territory for woman's racing

    What actually is the groundbreaking territory? The fact that they have to add that wanky Zwift suffix?

  • Oh I'm not trying to have a go at you! The fact that they have a Woman's Tour de France is pretty amazing to me. Them having to add the wanky suffix just feels like it takes away the importance about it.

  • No worries, all good here, it was a genuine question!

    I'm loving the race too, I'm just struggling with everyone talking about it being historic and groundbreaking as if they haven't already had 30 editions in one form or another. Is Zwift paying the journalists and presenters to create this illusion?

  • Don’t know how they are paying for sponsorship, but assuming it’s a lot, I really don’t begrudge them putting their name as title sponsor.

    Other examples:
    Amstel Gold
    Binckbank tour (Benelux)
    Amgen Tour of California
    Aviva / OVO Tour of Britain

    It’s possible that it could have been Zwift Tour de France Femmes, which would have been worse. Title sponsor name order makes a difference.

  • It's a different race so needs a different title. The "avec Zwift" thing can fuck off though.
