CyclistWomens Milan-San Remo to make long-awaited return in 2025After two decades, the women finally have their chance to race Milan-San Remo again. The UCI has announced the inclusion of Milan-San Remo Women in the 2025 calendar. It is scheduled for the 22nd March the same day as the mens race though the route and distance are yet to be revealed.Milan-San Remo has been a feature for the mens peloton since 1907, and a womens edition called the Primavera Rosa was previously run from 1999 to 2005. German rider Trixi Worrack was the last winner of the race. In 2022, Paolo Bellino, CEO of RCS Sport, which organises most of the big Italian races including Milan-San Remo and the Giro dItalia, said plans were in the works to launch a womens edition of Milan-San Remo for 2023, but that didnt materialise. The confirmation for 2025 means that the womens one-day race Trofeo Alfredo Binda, which is usually run on the same weekend as the mens Milan-San Remo, has been moved a week earlier in the calendar.The UCI says this is further proof of the growth of womens professional road cycling.The mens Milan-San Remo is one of the longest races on the calendar, typically around 300km, however the maximum a Womens WorldTour one-day race can currently be is 160km. That said, permission can be granted to go longer, as happened with a 170km Giro dItalia stage and a 177km Tour de France Femmes stage in 2023.More details about the race are expected to be revealed soon.
