The monuments of cycling are continuously evolving, and more so into the women's peloton calendar. After Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Paris-Roubaix in recent years, a women's Milano-Sanremo is reported to be in the making already, and possibly to be raced as soon as next year.
In a talk to the press, RCS CEO Paolo Bellino has confirmed the news: “We are working this year to launch a Milan-San Remo for women, because I think that it’s a spring monument event that should be for the women. Of course, not such a long distance but we are working now to guarantee if for next year. It would be on the same day, so it would be in the same format as Strade Bianche."
This comes as another step taken in the equity between the men's and women's peloton. In the last few years, several high-profile races have been developed, Paris-Roubaix Femmes and Tour de France Femmes being good examples of races create very recently.
“We are discussing with the national federation to see if there are opportunities to work together... I think that in the next few months you will have some good news regarding this event," he added. This race would, if it is inserted in the calendar next year, take place in the same day as the men's race - which would come a day after the Trofeo Alfredo Binda.
“I think that women’s cycling is growing very quickly. If I compare it to tennis and running, athletics, golf, all the sports are growing, and I think that in the next four or five years there will be incredible growth of the cycling movement and luckily in this moment we also have some incredible female riders that achieve incredible goals. We saw in the last season and in the last few events. We are working and I hope that we will be able to do everything next year," he concluded.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
