The Women's Monuments and Grand Tours will see their points scales increased (up to 1,300 points for the Tour de France Femmes), the major classics will move to 500 points and the ProSeries
The UCI has announced a major overhaul of the points system for women’s road racing, bringing it fully in line with the men’s UCI WorldTour structure.
👉 Effective from late 2025 and fully implemented in 2026, this reform marks an important step forward in strengthening the prestige, visibility, and competitiveness of women’s professional cycling.
🔑 Key changes at a glance:
A new five-tier points system aligned with the men’s scale
The four Women’s Monuments — Milan-Sanremo, Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, and Liège–Bastogne–Liège — will now award 800 points to the winner
Grand Tours points updated accordingly:
Giro d’Italia Women: 1,100 points
Vuelta Femenina: 1,200 points
Tour de France Femmes: 1,300 points
Major Women’s WorldTour races and key races (e.g. Strade Bianche) now award 500 points and ProSeries victories increase to 250 points (up from 200). Points increases apply not only to winners, but across all ranked riders
This harmonized system supports an expanded Women’s WorldTour calendar of 28 events, including new additions such as Dwars door Vlaanderen. These reforms reflect the UCI’s continued commitment to elevating women’s cycling, creating stronger incentives for teams, greater recognition for athletes, and a more balanced global ranking system.
