The 2026 Women's WorldTour is already underway, with the Women's Tour Down Under taking place over the weekend, but it's a gradual start to the season, and we still have a few weeks to wait for many of the top riders to start their racing campaigns.

Names like world champion Magdeleine Vallieres, Ally Wollaston and Chloé Dygert have already opened their accounts in Australia, but most of the major Classics and Grand Tour racers are still in pre-season training mode, with most opting to start in February or March.
