Counting Races - 2020
(as envisaged before the pandemic)

These are the races from which our fantasy cycling teams will be gaining points throught the 2020 season.

This is the first year of a new nomenclature for UCI races and an expansion of the second-tier calendar. The season is also distorted to make space for the events in the quadrennial Olympic Games.

The season came to a halt at the end of the penultimate scheduled day of Paris-Nice as the whole sport shut down in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. This is the calendar for the season as originally envisaged. The season as actually raced was radically different.
