I am naive about this subject but i have never understood why women's race distances in cycling are shorter than men's. I have seen in the various national championships differences up to 10 or 20km in the TT and the women's world cup races are often shorter as well. For example, the women's Ronde only incorporates 11 bergs while the men's race 18 and only 120km instead of 260km in the men's race.
Other sports have men and women doing similar distances (marathon, track, swimming, etc.). I just don;t get it. Women are totally capable of going the distance. Even in local races distances are different.
Someone clue me in.
