The women's cycling Tour de France was unveiled in the Palais des Congrès in Paris a short while ago.
A novelty in the world of pink pedals.
It was the patron of the men's race, Christian Prudhomme, who presented the novelty together with Marion Rousse, director of the French stage race a few days ago.
The departure is scheduled from Paris, on July 24, on the day of the arrival of the men's Tour.
The 'pour femmes' race has been divided into eight stages and will end in the Vosges.
There are also stretches of dirt road and a stage-monstre (the 5 / a, on July 28), from Bar-le-Duc to Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, even 175 kilometers long.
The epilogue on July 31st.
