You can name the woman paid over $30K/year to race if you wish.
But no women to be used as examples for the OP (but the OP can answer), because they don't have the average speed or power, or weight (average) that makes them good data points for testing equipment in road racing.

That and when you are talking pro teams women's teams don't do the distance or the courses, and very few choose to ride over sidewalks and curbs and -in general- their equipment is much less under stress. So not really all that useful for testing.
