Already looking forward to next year's edition. Thanks Zwift!

Possible changes:
  • Allowing 7 rider teams instead of 6. teams would need to figure out how to field a bigger team when there are an ever-increasing number of races on the calendar, and no magically larger budgets.
  • Having a TT stage. Left out of the first edition due to concern that fewer people would be on the course watching. Obviously TTs would require more equipment for every team. Then there's the issue that there are only a few specialists who have the support for the fastest equipment and aero testing.
  • Increasing the number of stages - unlikely because according to the race director: "at the moment [the teams are] happy with eight days. Even though women’s cycling is evolving the economic model is still fragile and teams aren’t that big either."
