Philadelphia World Cup a landmark for women's cycling

Sunday's Philadelphia World Cup marked a significant milestone in women's cycling: not only did it return the World Cup to US soil for the first time since 2001, but it put the women in the prime time slot in the afternoon, focusing the majority of the crowds, the television coverage and an equal split of the prize money to the women for the first time.
