2023 Schedule, with added 2022 placings

Van Vleuten has in fact already revealed her entire schedule for 2023. She plans to kick off her season at the Setmana Ciclista Valenciana (1) in Spain next week before she heads to Belgium for Omloop Het Nieuwsblad (1). She’ll then compete in Strade Bianche (2) before flying to Tenerife for a long training camp. The Tour of Flanders (2) will then follow, as will Amstel Gold Race (4), Flèche Wallonne (2), Liège-Bastogne-Liège (1), La Vuelta Femenina (1), Giro Donne (1), Tour de France Femmes (1) and, finally, the World Championships (1) in Glasgow, Scotland.

So, same again then, apart from presumably losing Dwars door Vlaanderen to a slightly longer training camp, and Romandie after the Worlds.
It'll be interesting to see if this year's results match last year's, and whether that would provoke a non-retirement.

Hopefully she'll be able to go through the season without any injuries for a change, although they usually don't slow her down all that much.
