"The cookie-monster that is ASO has taken over virtually all cycle races run in France, but here’s a curiosity - it doesn’t run one single race for women within the borders of its homeland. That is instead left to outsiders such as the Comité des Fêtes de Plouay who, without the ability to package their race up for TV along with the Tour de France, have to find different ways to attract both public and Euros. What started out way back in 1931 as an opportunity for Bretons to see their local stars kick some foreign butt has now developed into a week long festival of cycling that attracts upwards of a quarter of a million spectators and some of Dirk Hofman’s finest Corinthian leather (and at just 4 Euro per day to park, who wouldn’t be tempted)."
