1 thought on “UCI Women’s World Tour”

If feel so bad for your league if that’s what you call it, how can you slide down so far in one year. Last year you was a thriving entertaining and COMPETITIVE! What you have now isn’t a sport, it’s hard to watch and predictable. As it is now I read start list and if SD Works is there no sense even watching. This is so sad for me since my # cyclist of all times is Vos. I just hope some organization that actually understands competition and fair play comes along and all the teams jump from your ship. You can keep SD Works since that seems to be all you care about

Tour de Suisse Women 2024 - Analysing the contenders

Climbers reunited as Women's WorldTour stage racing continues with mountainous four-day event in Switzerland

After back-to-back races at RideLondon Classique and Tour of Britain Women, the top-tier peloton returns to racing in Europe for the four-day Tour de Suisse Women held from June 15-18.

The stronger climbers of the peloton will return to racing in Switzerland as many of them had competed in the more mountainous stages races in Spain in early May before taking time out to recover during the sprinter-friendly events on British soil.

The Tour de Suisse might not be the most mountainous event on the calendar, but it is a challenging route that will likely see the pure climbers and powerful breakaway specialists excel . With a mid-race time trial also on the menu, there is all to play for across the four days of racing which, for many, will also provide a building block toward the longer stage races of the Giro d'Italia Women in July and the Tour de France Femmes in August.

Cyclingnews looks at the riders to watch in the fourth edition of the Tour de Suisse Women.

Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime)

Defending champion Marlen Reusser has opted to skip the Tour de Suisse Women this year, but SD Worx-Protime still field the outright favourite in Demi Vollering.

The Dutch Champion finished second overall in last year's edition and has the strength and experience to give her team a second consecutive victory. She comes into the race recovered from her back-to-back wins at Vuelta España Femenina, Itzulia Women, and Vuelta a Burgos, with the aim being to keep her winning streak alive.

It is also the first test of the next phase of the season, which all point toward her major targets at the Olympic Games and the Tour de France Femmes. In fact, Vollering has recently returned from previewing all eight stages , including Alpe d'Huez, while travelling across France on a training holiday in her camper.

The course is also well-suited to Vollering, who has proven her ability to succeed across hilly terrain, time trials and in the mountains. It would not be surprising if SD Worx-Protime dominated in all four stages and won the overall classification.

Elise Chabbey (Canyon-SRAM)

Elise Chabbey gives her home crowds a real contender to cheer for at the Tour de Suisse Women. She finished second overall in 2021 and fifth last year.

Chabbey's success at the Tour de Suisse Women has grown from her strength and ability to read a race and join the most decisive breakaways, and she often zeros in on gaining points toward special categories such as the mountain classification.

It would not be surprising to see Chabbey race in a similar fashion this year. Even while potentially working in a support role for her teammate Kasia Niewiadoma, the rider who last month finished in the top five at both Vuelta a Burgos and Itzulia Women could land herself a stage win and another top placing in the overall classification. 

Chabbey might be somewhat of a wildcard for Canyon-SRAM, but her consistency lies in her determination to race aggressively, roll the dice, and make the most of every stage.

Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek)

The Italian Champion returns to the Tour de Suisse Women after finishing third last year behind SD Worx teammates Reusser and Vollering. She took a month-long break from competition following the Vuelta España Femenina and so will be somewhat of a wildcard, too.

Even if she is not at her best, Longo Borghini will undoubtedly race for both stages and general classification. She has a solid team to support her aggressive style of racing, including Brodie Chapman and Amanda Spratt, and the squad also has a pure climber in Gaia Realini.

While it is a top-tier event, the four days of racing offer somewhat of a gauge for Longo Borghini to test her form on the hills, in a time trial, and against some of her main rivals in bigger events up ahead.

Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (FDJ-SUEZ)

FDJ-SUEZ will have two major cards to play with Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig and Évita Muzic. Uttrup Ludwig only recently returned to racing at the Vuelta a Burgos after taking three months off to recover from a fractured sacrum.

She recently competed at the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya and appears to be on her way to rebuilding her form toward objectives later in the summer. The Tour de Suisse should provide a good indication of where her strengths are and what she needs to improve on before tackling events like the Giro d'Italia Women and the Tour de France Femmes.

Muzic could be the more likely contender for the overall classification at this point, having shown promising results earlier this year; fourth at Flèche Wallonne, fifth at Vuelta España Femenina and second at Vuelta a Burgos.

She recently expressed her disappointment over not being selected by the French team to compete at the Olympic Games, and so Muzic will undoubtedly want to make the most of the top-tier stage racing with her trade team FDJ-SUEZ.

Juliette Labous (dsm-firmenich PostNL)

Juliette Labous earned a spot on the French team for the Olympic Games and so her performance at the Tour de Suisse will likely be one of the first steps toward Paris.

She has had one of her best seasons so far, with a fourth overall at Vuelta España Femenina and third overall at Itzulia Women. Like many of her rivals, Labous took a long break after competing in the Ardennes Classics and Spanish stage races and is likely recovered and ready to begin rebuilding her form.

Team dsm-firmenich PostNL will go all-in for Labous with a powerful support team on the climbs of Becky Storrie, Nienke Vinke, and Eglantine Rayer.

She has also honed in on her time trial strength, so watch for her to gain time in the overall classification on stage 2, while holding her own against the likes of Vollering and Longo Borghini across the challenging hills in Switzerland.

Kristen Faulkner (EF Education-Cannondale)

EF Education-Cannondale is having a successful debut season, with the new Continental outfit turning heads in nearly every race they enter. The team has multiple riders to watch, including another home favourite, Noemi Rüegg, American Kristen Faulkner and New Zealand's Kim Cadzow.

Rüegg won the first race of the season for the team at Trofeo Felanitx-Colònia de Sant Jordi, and then went on to place second at Trofeo Binissalem-Andratx, eighth at Durango - Durango Emakumeen Saria and sixth overall at Vuelta a Burgos.

Her teammate Faulkner has equally shined, winning Omloop van het Hageland, taking two stage wins and second overall at Trofeo Ponente in Rosa, a stage win and 12th overall at Vuelta España Femenina and victory in the road race and second in the time trial at the USA Pro Road Championships. Faulkner also has ample experience at the Tour de Suisse Women, having finished second overall behind Lucinda Brand in 2022 after one of the most exciting races of that season.

Then there is Cadzow, who was 17th overall when she debuted at the race last year but since then the relative newcomer to the peloton has shown considerable growth.  Apart from winning New Zealand's time trial title and the Trofeo Ponente in Rosa the 22 year old has delivered a sixth at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and top ten overall at Vuelta España Femenina.

Le Comité Directeur de l’UCI a également approuvé le calendrier de la Coupe du Monde E-Mountain Bike Cross-country UCI 2025 .

À Aigle, l’UCI a par ailleurs attribué les Championnats du Monde UCI suivants :

Championnats du Monde Pump Track UCI 2024 : Durban (Afrique du Sud), les 8 et 9 novembre 2024 ;

Championnats du Monde Snow Bike UCI 2025 : Châtel (France), les 8 et 9 février 2025 ;

Championnats du Monde Gran Fondo UCI 2026 : Niseko (Japon), du 26 au 30 août 2026.

Enfin, de nouvelles dates ont été fixées pour les Mondiaux UCI déjà attribués suivants :

Championnats du Monde Cyclo-cross Masters UCI 2024 de Hambourg (Allemagne) : du 6 au 8 décembre (anciennes dates : 29 novembre au 1 er décembre) ;

Championnats du Monde BMX Racing UCI 2025 de Copenhague (Danemark) : 28 juillet au 3 août (anciennes dates : 22 au 27 juillet).

Dans le cadre de la professionnalisation du cyclisme sur route féminin et pour faire suite à la décision du Comité Directeur de l’UCI du 2 août dernier , les règlements relatifs à la création des UCI Women’s ProTeams ont été adoptés. Ces règlements visent à introduire une seconde division professionnelle d’équipes féminines, entre les UCI Women’s WorldTeams et les Équipes Continentales Femmes UCI. Avec cette nouvelle division, les femmes disposeront comme les hommes de trois divisions. Il s’agit d’une nouvelle avancée en faveur de la professionnalisation du cyclisme féminin.

Une équipe disposant de ce nouveau statut devra verser à chacune de ses coureuses, qui seront employées à temps plein, un salaire minimum de 20’000 euros par an, un montant supérieur à celui qui avait été fixé pour les UCI Women’s WorldTeams au moment de leur mise en place.

Les UCI Women’s ProTeams seront enregistrées auprès de l’UCI selon la procédure existante pour les équipes professionnelles. Elles devront également disposer d’un nombre minimum de salariés à temps plein au sein de leur effectif (hors coureuses), d’une garantie bancaire et d’assurances équivalentes à celles des UCI Women’s WorldTeams.

Enfin, les deux meilleures UCI Women’s ProTeams de chaque saison seront automatiquement invitées à participer à l’ensemble des épreuves de l’UCI Women’s WorldTour de la saison suivante.

Le Comité Directeur de l’UCI a par ailleurs adopté des changements règlementaires visant à moderniser le régime de l’ enregistrement par l’UCI des coureurs dans les équipes sur route professionnelles masculine (UCI WorldTeams et UCI ProTeams) et féminines (UCI Women’s WorldTeams et UCI Women’s ProTeams), afin de fixer un nouveau cadre règlementaire plus adapté aux réalités contractuelles actuelles.

Ces changements visent à fixer des règles claires pour l’enregistrement des coureurs selon leur situation contractuelle et les conséquences en cas de non-respect des contrats, en introduisant notamment une limitation dans le recrutement des équipes en cas d’infraction, une suspension du coureur et de l’agent en plus des sanctions déjà existantes comme les amendes financières.

Ces nouvelles règles s’appuient sur une plus grande transparence en imposant des obligations de communication, mais offrent également une plus grande flexibilité en autorisant l’enregistrements de coureurs sans contrat, ne limitant plus les périodes de signature des contrats ou de communication de l’arrivée d’un coureur.

Ces règles ont été établies au terme d’un processus de consultation des parties prenantes, au sein des commissions de l’UCI (Conseil du Cyclisme Professionnel et Commission Route) et de groupes de travail dédiés.

Sur un plan administratif, les principes régissant le prochain cycle d'enregistrement triennal du calendrier de l’UCI WorldTour ont été présentés au Comité Directeur de l'UCI. Ces principes avaient été préalablement discutés en détail avec le Conseil du Cyclisme Professionnel, aujourd’hui responsable des calendriers masculin et féminin. Le prochain cycle couvrira les saisons 2026, 2027 et 2028. Tous les événements, figurant au calendrier de l’UCI WorldTour et de l’UCI ProSeries pourront se porter candidats, de même que les nouvelles épreuves organisées dans des territoires stratégiquement pertinents. Les événements seront évalués d’abord sur la base de leur intégration stratégique dans le calendrier en fonction du nombre d’épreuves et de jours de course par pays, avant que soit examinée leur valeur commerciale, leur intérêt sportif, et leur conformité avec les règlements et directives de l'UCI. La procédure d'enregistrement des épreuves du calendrier de l'UCI Women's WorldTour sera également adaptée pour s'aligner sur la procédure du calendrier masculin.

Le Comité Directeur de l’UCI a approuvé le Rapport Financier 2023 de l’institution.

Les résultats financiers de cette dernière s’analysent sur un cycle de quatre ans compte tenu de la comptabilisation des revenus olympiques sur la seule année olympique. Dans le modèle financier de l’UCI, les années non olympiques présentent une perte opérationnelle pour lesquelles l’UCI peut se permettre une perte (opérationnelle) maximum de 5,5 millions de francs suisses par année, cela afin de garantir l’équilibre financier du cycle olympique en dehors de tout impact du résultat financier.

La perte opérationnelle 2023 s’est établie à 5 millions de francs suisses, soit un résultat meilleur qu’attendu, en raison notamment d’une gestion prudente et avisée des dépenses.

La perte finale, incluant le résultat financier, s’est élevée à 3,4 millions de francs suisses grâce à de bonnes performances du portefeuille d’investissements.

En conséquence de ces bons résultats, les réserves (hors bâtiment et immobilisations) de l’UCI s’établissent à 27,8 millions de francs suisses et restent largement supérieures à l’objectif fixé d’un seuil de réserves minimum de 20 millions de francs suisses à partir de 2020. Celles-ci atteignent un excellent niveau pour une année préolympique.

Le bilan financier de l’UCI à fin 2023 est toujours solide et bénéficie d’une excellente assise financière. Cela permettra de planifier au mieux le prochain cycle olympique tout en définissant au mieux les ressources financières pour la mise en œuvre de l’ Agenda 2030 de l’UCI , feuille de route de la Fédération pour les prochaines années.

Le Rapport Financier 2023 de l’UCI sera publié le 30 juin sur le site internet de la Fédération avec l’ensemble de son Rapport Annuel 2023.

Dans le cadre du programme de développement du cyclisme dans le monde menée par l’UCI au travers de son centre d’entraînement et de formation – le Centre Mondial du Cyclisme (CMC) UCI –, le Comité Directeur de l’UCI a approuvé la création d’un nouveau Satellite de Développement Continental du CMC UCI , situé à Lima, au Pérou . Cette infrastructure rejoint le réseau de Satellites existant à Anadia (Portugal), Bromont (Canada), Cambridge (Nouvelle-Zélande), Couva (Trinité et Tobago), New Delhi (Inde), Paarl (Afrique du Sud), Shanghai (Chine), Shuzenji (Japon) et Yeongju (Corée).

Les Satellites de Développement Continental du CMC UCI travaillent en étroite collaboration avec ce dernier et jouent un rôle moteur, aux niveau continental et régional, dans le développement universel du cyclisme et de l’excellence sportive. Les Satellites de développement continental du CMC UCI créent des opportunités pour les Fédérations Nationales des nations émergentes du cyclisme de devenir plus autonomes dans la mise en place de leurs propres projets et missions, tout en favorisant la progression de leurs athlètes jusqu’au plus haut niveau.

La prochaine réunion du Comité Directeur de l’UCI se tiendra du 24 au 26 septembre prochain à Zurich, en Suisse, en marge des Championnats du Monde route et Route Paracyclisme UCI.

2024 UCI Cross Country World Cup Val Di Sole: preview, schedule and how to watch

The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Val Di Sole, Italy will run from 14 to 16 June. This marks the fourth stop of the World Cup and the second European location following the back-to-back Brazil openers.

Nove Mesto saw a host of champion riders making their first World Cup starts of the season … and winning, including France’s Pauline Ferrand-Prevot and Great Britain’s Tom Pidcock . Pidcock will not be racing in Val Di Sole (more below), but Ferrand-Prevot will be back racing in her final mountain bike season (also more below).

In the men’s U23, American Riley Amos will look to continue his six-for-six winning streak in the men’s U23 division. Will he make it eight at Val Di Sole?

The Olympic qualifying period ended following Nove Mesto. National quotas have been announced, and NOC team announcements are beginning to roll out.

In addition to Val Di Sole, athletes will have two more World Cups ahead of the Paris 2024 mountain biking set for 28 to 29 July , in Crans Montana, Switzerland 21 to 23 June, followed by Haute Savoie, France, 25 June to 7 July.

• How to qualify for Mountain Biking at Paris 2024

As National Olympic Committees have the exclusive authority for the representation of their respective countries at the Olympic Games, athletes' participation at the Paris Games depends on their NOC selecting them to represent their delegation at Paris 2024.

France’s Pauline Ferrand-Prevot and USA’s Haley Batten Headline Women’s Lineup

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot heads into her second World Cup of the season following a resounding victory in Nove Mesto, where she crossed the finish line with a breezy one-minute lead ahead of second-place finisher Haley Batten . Ferrand-Prevot announced that this would be her final mountain bike season, the reigning XCO world champion said, “I think I did everything on MTB and I still like it, but it doesn’t make sense to continue more.” Paris 2024 will mark her fourth Olympics, she said, “It’s my last chance to be Olympic champion at home, so it’s good to finish on it [in Paris].” It's expected that she will set her sights on road cycling.

Val Di Sole marks Batten’s second start in the leader’s jersey. The American won the second stop of the World Cup in Araxa and she’s stood on the podium at five of the past six events.

Switzerland’s Alessandra Keller is currently leading the short track standings; she earned third place at Nove Mesto in XCO, following two fourth-place finishes prior.

Also, look for the young Dutch cyclist Puck Pieterse to make a podium dash. She finished fourth at Nove Mesto in her first World Cup start of the season.

France’s Victor Koretzky leads the world cup rankings, Amos looks to continue U23 sweep

Olympic mountain bike champion and, now four-time winner at Nove Mesto, Tom Pidcock is not on the roster for Val Di Sole. The multidisciplinary athlete is instead competing in the Tour de Suisse, running 9 to 18 June. Pidcock has shared that he will be completing the Tour de France, which runs 29 Jun to 21 July ahead of defending his Olympic mountain bike title on 29 July.

France’s Victor Koretzky is the leader in both the short track and Olympic standings, following first- and second-place finishes in Brazil. American Christopher Blevins follows in second in the Olympic standings.

Also, look for American Riley Amos to continue his streak in the U23 men’s category—will the dominant rider go eight-for-eight? The men’s U23 takes top billing as the final event at Val Di Sole.

Amos was recently named to Team USA for Paris 2024, alongside returning Olympian Blevins.

In addition, the UCI awarded the following UCI World Championships :

2024 UCI Pump Track World Championships : Durban (South Africa), 8-9 November 2024;

2025 UCI Snow Bike World Championships: Châtel (France), 8-9 February 2025;

Finally, new dates have been set for the following UCI Worlds that had already been awarded:

2024 UCI Masters Cyclo-cross World Championships in Hamburg (Germany): 6-8 December (former dates: 29 November - 1 st December);

2025 UCI BMX Racing World Championships in Copenhagen (Denmark): 28 July - 3 August (former dates: 22-27 July).

In the context of the professionalisation of women's road cycling and following the decision of the Management Committee on 2 August , the regulations relating to the creation of UCI Women's ProTeams were adopted. The purpose of these regulations is to introduce a second professional division for women's teams, between UCI Women's WorldTeams and UCI Women's Continental Teams. With this new division, women will have three divisions as do the men. This is a further step forward in the professionalisation of women's cycling.

A team with this new status will have to pay each of its riders, who will be employed on a full-time basis, a minimum salary of 20,000 euros per year, a higher amount than that set for the UCI Women's WorldTeams when they were established.

UCI Women's ProTeams will be registered with the UCI in accordance with the existing procedure for professional teams. They must also have a minimum number of full-time employees on their payroll (excluding riders), a bank guarantee and insurance equivalent to that of the UCI Women's WorldTeams.

Finally, the top two UCI Women's ProTeams each season will automatically be invited to take part in all the UCI Women's WorldTour events the following season.

In addition, the Management Committee adopted regulatory changes aimed at modernising the system for the UCI's registration of riders in men's professional road teams (UCI WorldTeams and UCI ProTeams) and women's professional road teams (UCI Women's WorldTeams and UCI Women's ProTeams), in order to establish a new regulatory framework that is better adapted to current contractual realities.

The aim of these changes is to establish clear rules for the registration of riders according to their contractual situation and consequences in the event of non-compliance with contracts, by introducing in particular a restriction on a team’s recruitment in the event of infringement, the suspension of the rider and agent in addition to existing sanctions such as financial fines.

These new rules favour greater transparency by imposing communication obligations, but also offer greater flexibility by authorising the registration of riders without a contract, and no longer limiting the time periods for signing contracts or communicating the arrival of a rider.

These rules were drawn up following a process of consultation with stakeholders within the UCI commissions (Professional Cycling Council and Road Commission) and dedicated working groups.

On an administrative level, the principles governing the next three-year registration cycle for the UCI WorldTour calendar were also presented to the UCI Management Committee. These principles had previously been discussed in detail with the Professional Cycling Council, which is now responsible for the men's and women's calendars. The next cycle will cover the 2026, 2027 and 2028 seasons. All events on the UCI WorldTour and UCI ProSeries calendars will be eligible to apply, and new events in strategically relevant territories may also apply. Events will first be assessed on the basis of their strategic fit into the calendar based on the number of events and race days per country, before evaluation of their commercial value, sporting interest and compliance with UCI regulations and directives. The registration procedure for events on the UCI Women's WorldTour calendar will also be adapted to bring it into line with the procedure for the men's calendar.

The UCI Management Committee has approved the institution's 2023 Financial Report .

The UCI's financial results are analysed over a four-year cycle, given that Olympic revenues are recorded in the Olympic year only. In the UCI's financial model, the non-Olympic years show an operating loss for which the UCI can afford a maximum (operating) loss of 5.5 million Swiss francs per year in order to guarantee a financial balance over the Olympic cycle aside from any impact from the financial result.

The operating loss for 2023 was 5 million Swiss francs, which is better than expected, notably thanks to a cautious and prudent management of expenditure.

The final loss, including the financial result, was 3.4 million Swiss francs, thanks to the good performance of the investment portfolio.

As a result of these good results, the UCI's reserves (excluding buildings and fixed assets) stand at 27.8 million Swiss francs, and remain well above the target of a minimum reserve threshold of 20 million Swiss francs set from 2020 onwards. They have reached an excellent level for a pre-Olympic year.

The UCI's balance sheet at the end of 2023 remains solid and is on an excellent financial standing. This will make it possible to plan the next Olympic cycle in the best possible way, while at the same time defining the financial resources needed to implement the UCI's Agenda 2030 , the Federation's roadmap for the coming years.

The UCI's 2023 Financial Report will be published on 30 June on the Federation's website along with its 2023 Annual Report.

As part of the worldwide cycling development programme led by the UCI through its training and education centre - the UCI World Cycling Centre (WCC) - the UCI Management Committee has approved the creation of a new UCI WCC Continental Development Satellite in Lima, Peru . This facility joins the existing network of Satellites in Anadia (Portugal), Bromont (Canada), Cambridge (New Zealand), Couva (Trinidad and Tobago), New Delhi (India), Paarl (South Africa), Shanghai (China), Shuzenji (Japan) and Yeongju (Korea).

The UCI WCC Continental Development Satellites work closely with the UCI WCC and play a leading role, at continental and regional level, in the universal development of cycling and sporting excellence. The UCI WCC Continental Development Satellites create opportunities for the National Federations of emerging cycling nations to become more autonomous in implementing their own projects and missions, while promoting the progression of their athletes to the highest level.

The next meeting of the UCI Management Committee will be held from 24 to 26 September in Zurich, Switzerland, in conjunction with the UCI Road and Para-cycling Road World Championships.
