Recognition for professional women’s cycling

For a long time, women’s cycling lacked representation, and the women involved in the sport as professionals had no official status. Today, thanks to the efforts of the CIC Tour Féminin des Pyrénées Organising Committee, supported by partners such as Teréga, those women for whom competitive cycling is a career are now fully recognised and enjoy the official status of professional competitive cyclists.

The tough challenges of the CIC Tour Féminin des Pyrénées provide substantial preparation for later events in the cycling calendar, such as the national championships, the women’s Giro in early July, and the women’s Tour de France in mid-August.

The CIC Tour Féminin des Pyrénées promotes professional women’s cycling, with the aim of creating vocations.

It is also ambitious to become a benchmark challenge, rather like a Critérium du Dauphiné, to prepare cyclists for mountain challenges. The second stage this year includes the climb up the Tourmalet (2 115 m).

Since its launch in 2022, the CIC Tour Féminin des Pyrénées has succeeded in bringing women’s cycling to everyone’s attention. Teréga is proud to be able to support this event, which brings professional women’s cycling to the forefront of the sporting scene.
