Fully mixed fields has been floated before and has it's own challenges.
What are the challenges (genuine question)?

The main thing is letting people have a fair race against their equals. Men being generally naturally stronger than women cos the testosterone means that good women cyclists can be stuck competing against men who aren't necessarily just slower but also sketchier in a race. Just ask any woman that's done a road crit when it's women's cat 2/3 on circuit at the same time as men's cat 4. People should be able to enter the race knowing they will have a fair competition that will come down to skill and training.
