I've long thought that at the Tour it would be better to have boys and girls from a local club on the podium, encouraging cycling and equality in general.
There's a heck of a long way to go. Look at the Giro where every day women in ludicrous clothes, colour-coded to match the various jerseys, parade up and down the finish straight before the stage. That's when the camera men (I assume) are not perving over attractive young women in the crowd.
