Why Zwift Backed A Women's Tour de France with Kate Veronneau
We are at an important cross roads in cycling. For a long time Women's cycling has been the lesser sibling, receiving a fraction of the prize money, opportunities and media attention. This week marks a line in the sand. Le Tour de Femme avec Zwift has been running all week and its a runaway success.
Today I chat with one of the key figures in Zwift, Kate Veronneau. Kate tells us what motivated the partnership and why Zwift is betting big on the girls.
