This year's Vuelta Femenina took a turn into a new phase with the first summit finish of this year's race. Demi Vollering took the...

La Vuelta Femenina is very much the junior member of the women's grand tours and riding the coattails of the men's race whilst trying to catch up. It's had a slow, measured progression from a one-day race, similar to La Course on the Champs Elysees was, into something bigger. After 3 editions, a second stage was added which was somewhat strangely a team time trial to effectively decide the GC.

The Trofeo Alfredo Binda has been around for what feels like forever, it's one of the crown jewels of the women's cycling calendar. With all the talk the other week of whether Strade Bianche is a monument (it isn't), the Trofeo Alfredo Binda is unarguably one in women's cycling.

2023 sees the 9th edition of the Strade Bianche Women and each year has seen a big name in women's cycling take the victory. Created in 2015 as a 1.1 race, the opening year was won by the American Megan Guarnier who was at the peak of her powers in 2015-2016. It joined the Women's WorldTour in 2016

This is the first-ever Women's Tour de Romandie and unlike its compatriot, the Tour de Suisse, it's not a reborn event after a long gap either. It has done well to enter the Women's WorldTour in its first edition, normally a race has to earn its spot after at least one race. As an end of season race, it looks quite tasty.

Elisa Longo Borghini has won the Tre Valli Varesine for women. The 30-year-old Trek-Segafredo rider, who also won the Giro dell'Emilia last Saturday, broke...

Another relatively new race in Spain, the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas will have only its 3rd edition at UCI level in 2022. The race's history goes back a little further though, raced as a national level Spanish race with some big names on the previous winners list. Anna van der Breggen won the head to head against Annemiek van Vleuten last year. The climb up to Lagunas de Neila on the last stage was the major battleground.

With this year's Itzulia Women, women's racing in the Basque County has come full circle after quite a lot of change in recent years. We used to have the long-term staple of the Emakumeen Bira stage race which ran from 1988 to 2019. One of the major stage races, surprisingly given the climbing it was a race that neither Anna van der Breggen nor Annemiek van Vleuten ever actually won.
