Replacing the former UCI Women Road World Cup, which was held from 1998 to 2015, the UCI Women’s WorldTour has been established to accommodate the fast growth of women’s cycling and accompany it into the future.
The varied calendar includes spring classics early in the season, stage races held worldwide and monument races that are often attached to men’s UCI WorldTour events.
The culmination is the UCI Road World Championships held towards the end of the season.
– 35 days of racing
– 4 stage races
– 13 one-day races
– 9 countries
– 8 races broadcast live
At least the top 20 UCI Women’s Teams are invited to each event, with some organisers choosing to increase the size of the peloton by offering a greater number of teams the chance to race.
Results from the races will count towards individual, Under-23 and team rankings.
