Under-23 Women There was no separate race for Under-23 Women. The riders in this age category competed in the Elite Women race, and received World Cup points based on the standing in the combined Elite/Under-23 race. So for example finishing first among the Under-23 riders but fifth in the combined Elite/Under-23 classification would give not 40 but 20 points.

The leader of the classification wore a blue/white World Cup leader jersey, distinct from the Elite Women's red/white jersey.
