If you watch or attend any of the major Spring Classics, from Strade Bianche to Liège-Bastogne-Liège, you'll notice that they all have races for both men and women. It's the norm.
In the grand scheme of cycling history, this is a relatively recent development – you only have to go back to 2020 to find no women's Paris-Roubaix and no Milan-San Remo. Look just five years prior, in 2015, and you'd also see the women's had no Liège and Amstel Gold Race, while Strade Bianche Donne had only just been created.
