Grande Boucle Féminine
The Grande Boucle Féminine or Grande Boucle Féminine International , was a cycling stage race of the women in France . It was called the Tour Cycliste Féminin until 1997 and was the counterpart to the men's Tour de France , which is often referred to as the Grande Boucle . Since 1998 the organizers have not been allowed to use the term tour for trademark reasons . Nevertheless, the terms “Tour de France Féminin” and “Tour de France for women” in German-speaking countries were still used by the public .
history
The race has been held separately from the men's Tour de France since 1984 in terms of time and organization, but originally aimed at a special position within women's sport comparable to the men's tour in terms of its design and scope of ten to fifteen stages.
After the first edition in 1984, the Tour Cycliste Féminin was dominated for five years by the exceptional athletes Jeannie Longo and Maria Canins , who each took the first two places. The women's tour did not achieve the desired attention and was not held in 1990, 1991 and 2004 due to legal disputes and a lack of sponsors.
Between 2005 and 2009 the race took place again with a reduced program and only four to seven stages.
The last event for the time being took place in 2009.
