I'm pretty sure it is.

I am now sure it is. Sadly, although the timing is quite bad anyway, 2-3 days after the Giro Rosa and 2 days before the BeNe Ladies Tour..

Yeah. Also while it's great with a stage or 2 during the Tour to get some more attention to women's cycling, I doubt it would work with something longer.

Well I don't think it should be a three week race, but possibly a week. Not too long, not too short, as long as it's not right after the Giro Rosa. Personally I like warming up with this in the morning  (and to be fair, I doubt I'd be watching - or it would be shown - if it's outside of the Tour)

The Danish expert, Christina Siggaard says that ASO don't want anything bigger during the Tour as the Tour would take too much attention from it.

The Tour would take too much attention away from the women? I doubt that, without the Tour nobody is even watching (because nobody is broadcasting)...I mean, I've seen like 5 minutes of the Giro Rosa because I accidentaly stumbled upon a short replay while zapping to Eurosport in the middle of the night.
