Focus on the FFC and women
Less publicized than men's cycling, women's cycling is now a major strategic development area for the French Cycling Federation (FFC), which has always campaigned for parity in the sport of cycling. To this end, the FFC has embarked on an ambitious feminization plan. The program has a number of objectives, including
- Access to the sport
- Development of the top level
- Support for women leaders
- Training women for management positions.
All these aspects should help to structure and develop women's cycling.
