Women's cycling world cup
The World Cup in road cycling women ( English UCI Women Road World Cup ) was a 1998 to 2015 by the International Cycling Union UCI discharged series of the most important one-day races of the season and was next to the UCI World Ranking as the most important annual ranking in road cycling women.
At the races, points were awarded to female riders and UCI women's teams , which were included in an overall ranking. With the aim of increasing the attractiveness of the competitions, the UCI introduced additional special ratings in addition to the overall individual and team ratings for the 2014 season. A sprint and a mountain classification were awarded on the basis of intermediate sprints , as well as a junior classification on the basis of the finish line.

Scoring
Individual evaluation
The overall ranking of the Cycling World Cup for women riders was based on the allocation of points in each individual race.
The points scale was revised with effect from the 2014 Women's Cycling World Cup and is as follows for the one-day races with individual starts:
position | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4th | 5 | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | ... | 20th |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Points | 120 | 100 | 85 | 70 | 60 | 50 | 40 | 35 | 30th | 25th | 20th | 18th | ... | 2 |
In the team time trial, the riders received points according to the ranking of their team as follows:
position | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4th | 5 | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | ... | 20th |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Points | 35 | 30th | 25th | 20th | 16 | 15th | 14th | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | ... | 1 |
Team evaluation
For the team evaluation, the four best placed drivers of a team were evaluated in each race after the finish and their points were added to a total value, which was then included in the team evaluation.
For the team time trial, however, a different point allocation also applied to the team classification; if a team completed the team time trial with fewer than four drivers, no points were awarded:
position | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4th | 5 | 6th | 7th | ... | 20th |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Leader jerseys
After each race, the points gained for each driver were added to the current status. The respective leading rider in the overall ranking of the Women's Cycling World Cup was then presented with a special jersey. She is obliged to wear this jersey in the other races of the Cycling World Cup for as long as she holds the lead in the overall standings.
The leaders of the special ratings introduced in 2014, as well as the overall leaders, were awarded a rating jersey . The look of the rating jerseys was based on designs by Iris Slappendel , an active cyclist who won a UCI design competition.
