Events
The race calendar for the 2024 season was announced in June 2023, with twenty eight races scheduled.[3] The calendar is largely similar to 2023, with the dates of races moved to accommodate the 2024 Summer Olympics and 2024 Summer Paralympics.[3] Rumoured events such as women's editions of the Giro di Lombardia or Milan–San Remo, or promotion of the Thüringen Ladies Tour to the World Tour calendar did not occur.[4]
