Twenty-five years ago, women in cycling was mainly confined to those competing in races, a few soigneurs, and the perfunctory podium girls. For sure, there would have been a few women involved in cycling management on the branding or team management side, but they were considered a rarity.
Things have moved on in leaps and bounds since then, and there is now a sizeable peloton of women involved in the development of cycling, with some woman taking the lead in defining the future trends and direction in the sport.
