Cycling-Women's Tour de France to return in 2022, says race director


(Reuters) - The women's Tour de France is set to be revived next year after a 33-year absence with race director Christian Prudhomme saying it will be held after the men's event.

"It would have happened this year if it had not been for the COVID-19 pandemic, obviously, and above all if the Tokyo Olympics had not been after the (men's) Tour, so the best riders may not be available," Prudhomme told The Guardian.
