“We wish a women’s theatre competition with a same media coverage and a same courtesy as group have,” Tetiana Kalachova tells The Associated Press. “Not indispensably a same roads and not indispensably a same apportion of dates, though with a same appreciation.”

Kalachova and her teammates arise early each day to finish a three-week challenge. They do a same theatre as a men, a day before a men.

They have cowed a differing cobblestones of Roubaix, daunting ascents in a Alps, a foothills of a Massif Central, and have been pedalling this week by a Pyrenees.

None of a team, called “Donnons des elles au velo” in a play of difference definition give women or wings to cycling, are being paid for their efforts.

Unlike a men, they have to contend with normal trade as they navigate a route. Dirty atmosphere from complicated trucks cleared over a women as they over Carcassonne for a 218-kilometre stage.

Ideally, a group would like a lapse of a Tour de France Feminin, that ran alongside a men’s eventuality from 1984-89, or during slightest a women’s theatre competition that is given a same significance as a men’s.

Their efforts are moving younger riders, too. One 10-year-old lady from a U.K. assimilated for a initial theatre in Noirmoutier-en-L’ile. Kalachova says, “She is doing so most cycling and she is so into it, that we wish there will be a women’s Tour someday and she will float it.” -AP
