Why women do not compete in the Tour de France?

Secondly, it is better? Eddy Merckx or Lance Amerstrong?

It asked to compete in the TDF every year, but so far are lazy to actually do it. EDIT: Well I was joking, but ids seem serious. I agree with 1 / 2 IDS response. But let's get this clear: The main question was "Why do not women compete in the Tour de France?" The answer is: not enough good. No one disputes that there are many careers for women, but not the TDF. Playing the sexism card? That's BS. The money goes where money can be made. If women are the best thing would be the sponsors. But they are not. N is a contestant who Athelete many good women are better than many men. But a cat will lose an average of 4 women every time an average of 4 cats to humans. And since there are several cats four or more runners you put here (myself included) stating otherwise is simply ignorant. more RAAM is not the TDF also (again) and men have all the best records for this event. This event is also much more than simple racing dominance, but a test of will and ability to function with severe sleep deprivation. Finally, while women close the gap in athletics in the enduance component not yet have the strength as men. TDF is a high endurence event. The most powerful riders never win. A marathon is a race endurence, but the women finished miles back of men winners in the above events. Can women be competitive with men of confidence, but when it comes to strength, power and speed of the best Men always win the best women. It's a simple fact, so get over it.
