The Cyclists’ Alliance (TCA) today published the full report from their unique annual survey of the women’s professional peloton. Despite some signs that women’s professional cycling is progressing, this survey also reveals that many women continue to face tough challenges in the pursuit of a professional cycling career. The disparities between riders in the World Tour and riders outside the World Tour continue to grow wider.
In 2022, Strava partnered with The Cyclists’ Alliance (TCA) to support TCA’s mentoring program (TCAMP). This unique program is designed to provide support and guidance to young riders of the peloton as well as a mentoring program provided by experienced riders.
This year, Strava has committed a further $100,000 to The Cyclists’ Alliance to create a Grant Awards scheme “TCAMP Pre-Career x Strava Grant”.
As the UCI takes decisions in favour of the professionalisation of women’s cycling and commits to a fairer and safer sport, TCA responds and reveals further survey findings which reinforce the need for more professionalisation in the sport.
On the eve of the second Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift, TCA reveals that the key issues for the women’s professional peloton are salaries, safety and live coverage.
The Cyclists’ Alliance (TCA) is pleased to announce that Zwift has come on board as a partner for 2023 and beyond, providing support for developing the TCAMP pre-career programme. The aim of the programme is to create a more transparent and accessible pathway into the women’s professional peloton so that anyone from all backgrounds who wants to become a professional cyclist has the same opportunity to do so.
