It had its beginning in 1985 when Jean Thomas , who prior to this time, was active in organizing men's cycling events, turned his attention to the organization of a major women's tour. The initial Tour de l'Aude was only 4 days long and was held in and around the environs of one city only. Since that time, the race grew in both length and prestige until it became one of the grand tours of women's cycle racing, attracting many of the top women riders in the world, including several Olympic and World Champions. Following the death of race founder Jean Thomas, the tradition is carried on under the tutelage of Thomas' daughter, Anne-Marie Thomas. TOUR DE L'AUDE PAST WINNERS
