From 2025: Women's version of Milan-San Remo returns to the race calendar

Surprise in the cycling calendar. The calendars for the top men's and women's racing series for the coming year were actually already published in June, so it was assumed that they would remain unchanged. But now a race has crept into the Women's World Tour after all. One that many people have been calling for.

From 2025, there will once again be a women's version of Milan-San Remo. Organiser RCS, which also organises the Giro d'Italia, had already organised the Primavera Rosa between 1999 and 2005. The last winner was Trixi Worrack. Details of the route are not yet known. Back then, the race was held on the last 118 kilometres of the men's route between Varazze and San Remo, which also included the formative Cipressa and Poggio climbs.

Milan-San Remo for women on 22 March

The race slipped into the Women's World Tour right at the new edition. Because it did not appear there at first, the expected return of the race seemed to have been postponed for another year, although rumours continued to swirl about the race being placed one level below in the Pro Series. Now, however, the return is official.

The women will ride on the same day as the men, 22 March. One day later, the traditional Trofeo Alfredo Binda, which is also part of the World Tour, is already on the programme for them.
