SD Worx’s Marlen Reusser took her first major classics victory at this year’s Gent Wevelgem Women in storming fashion. Attacking at the summit of the Baneberg, Reusser simply wasn’t seen again as she pulled out a gap and the chasing bunch never sorted out a coherent chase. The Swiss rider took advantage with 40km to …

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.

Gent Wevelgem Women has a decent shout as being one of the strongest Spring Classics races in the women’s calendar. We’ve seen both the expected sprint finishes and also the odd attack and small break contest the win. The race has developed over the years and recently has become much more similar to the men’s edition.
A women’s Exterioo Classic Brugge-De Panne has only been in existence since 2018, the same year the men’s race stopped being 3 stages long. Instead, the new women’s Brugge-De Panne helped create a festival of cycling style approach lasting for 3 days. The flat parcours means it’s a sprint heavy classic.
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 Dutch superstar Marianne Vos will take on her first road race of the 2023 season this weekend. We’ve become used to seeing her pick and choose races, not doing any racing that doesn’t serve her goals but this time it’s down to some late pre-season surgery. Vos originally had surgery on her pelvic artery …

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.
