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.

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 would be better if zwift were putting money into womens teams/rider salaries, rather than the overfull pockets of aso, but if this is what it takes to get a womens tdf going again, so be it. Zwift are hardly a UAE, Astana or ineos level bad guy.
