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 history of the Women's Amstel Gold Race is very much in two parts. An initial race was held between 2001-2003 (won by Nicole Cooke, Leontien van Moorsel and Debby Mansveld), reaching the highest-level Women's World Cup set of races in its final year of that run.

It's a short history for the Paris Roubaix Femmes as the race has only been held since 2021.

The 2023 edition of Dwars Door Vlaanderen saw an exciting, attacking race that ultimately got decided on the berg in Nokere that isn't the...

A Women's Tour of Flanders goes back to 2004, where the race immediately joined the top-level Road World Cup. From there, it's pretty much been a who's who of women's cycling on the winner's list. World champions, grand tour winners and more, every name is heavily linked to women's cycling with no surprises like say Jacky Durand on the men's list.

A women's Dwars Door Vlaanderen has been going for a solid decade at this point. First run back in 2012 at national level, it took 5 editions before it joined the UCI ranks. That didn't stop it from having big names race it in that period though. The early winners board is dominated by Amy Pieters with her 3 wins in a row from 2014-2016.

After a super strong cyclocross season, it's almost no surprise to see Shirin van Anrooij begin to dominate on the road as well. The...
