The COVID-19 pandemic might have interrupted the majority of the women's road season but the teams are still making plans for the 2021 season after the opening of the official transfer window on August 1.

Women have two tiers - UCI Continental and UCI WorldTeams - with the latter being the highest level in women's cycling.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
