What’s Different?
The headline change is the arrival of the Copenhagen Sprint in late June, a new World Tour race for men and women. It signals the vast popularity of cycling in Denmark thanks to Jonas Vingegaard and his compatriots. Otherwise there are not any big changes.
The Giro d’Italia starts on a Friday, as planned to accommodate the Albania grande partenza. The Route d’Occitanie is back after an Olympics-imposed hiatus and the one-day Andorra Morabanc Classica is there with firmer plans to make it happen. The one-day Muscat classic in Oman’s capital is on the UCI calendar… but not the Tour of Oman, presumably the stage race will be added but it’s notable by absence. The Tour Colombia is not going ahead. There have been doubts about the Volta a Valenciana but the organisers have committed today to the race as way to show the region can be open after devastating floods. The Trans-Himalaya race in China gets promoted from 2.2 to 2.1.
Plenty of the quirks and charms remain. The Four Days of Dunkerque no longer lasts six days it shrinks to five… but there’s also the Classic Dunkerque 1.Pro race on the eve of the stage race. So they’ve cut the stage race by a day and added a one-day event alongside which will brings more UCI points. The winner of the new classic takes 200 points instead of 20 for a stage, helpful in the third year of three year promotion-relegation cycle.
New classic? Yes, it’s remarkable how many new one day events are branded as classics. Elsewherethe growth in the women’s calendar is notable but so is the nomenclature with many “Ladies” events, although there are plenty of feminina, femmes and donne suffixes too. Or see the jumbled-sounding “Women Cycling Pro Costa de Almería” race, but it’s good to have it on the calendar.
As ever the relatively easy part is applying for inclusion on the UCI’s international calendar, the hard part is all the work on the ground from sponsorship to safety and some events will fall by the wayside between now and the due date.
