'Dale Posted October 17, 2021 Share In pro road racing, the UCI sets maximum distances for the elite women's and men's stage races. It sets the Women's WorldTour stages at a maximum distance of 160km and a maximum average daily distance at 140km. The UCI also sets the maximum distances for the men's WorldTour stages at 240km, with a maximum average daily distance at 180km (with a special waiver, organisers may be authorised to include a maximum of two stages of over 240km in races of 10 days and more for elite men). Regarding, the number of days of competition during a stage race, the UCI sets the elite women's stage races at six days, unless an exemption is made by its Management Committee. The duration of the WorldTour events is determined by the Professional Cycling Council, and for Grands Tours, the duration must be between 15 and 23 days.

And if its developing women's sport in a historically oppressive region then its a double plus. J Wakefield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer. ???? But, sounds like she is setting up a nice Cycling Hotel in Spain, worth putting on the bucket list. Ash was at the Tour Femmes route presentation and is quoted as saying she's looking forward to it, so I hope that means she's racing at least one more year.

Yeah, I noticed the quote. I hope she had a change of heart now that Le Tour Femmes is here. I'll go listen to the podcast again just to check whether I might have misinterpreted what she said. But she won't be the first or last person to rethink a decision on retirement. Fingers crossed she can ride the Tour. TNT1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I misinterpreted it to mean that she is currently in her final season. So yay! Seems she will be giving it one more tilt next year.
