The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is due to be the highlight of the women's cycling calendar in 2022. After a long time,...

Officially this race is just called the Women’s Tour but may have to unofficially finally become the Women's Tour of Britain. With the Tour de France Femmes coming, the original name all feels just a little too vague. The Women’s Tour is another race affected by COVID in 2020, but 2021 saw the race return, albeit in September rather than its usual timeslot of June.

Great Britain has a long history with women's cycling. From the previous hour record holder (Ellen van Dijk recently took it from Joss Lowden)...

The RideLondon Classique finished today with its final stage. After 3 days of racing, it probably came as no surprise that Lorena Wiebes won on the Embankment in London. Wiebes dominated the RideLondon Classique this year, winning all 3 stages on her way to the overall win.

After last year's epic Paris Roubaix Femmes, 2022's edition was a much drier affair. The mud from last season was dust this year presenting a new challenge. The dust made the cobbles particularly slippy in the corners as tyres struggled for traction on the loose surface.

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.
