In Dialogue: Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio On Racing The Tour De France Femmes Avec Zwift And Women’s Professional Cycling, Part 1

Last month, the first women’s Tour de France was held in over 30 years, representing both a powerful testament to the potential of the present moment and a reminder of how far we still have yet to come. The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is not only a proper sister to the men’s race in terms of scale, difficulty, and level of performance, but is also a case study in public interest in women’s sports, which has gained a great deal of visibility over the last decade, shining a light on the athleticism women are capable of while also forcing us to confront decades of discrimination.
