After much speculation over the last few weeks about what a revised racing calendar would look like once the COVID-19 pandemic eased up, or whether there would be any racing at all, the UCI released schedules for both the men’s and women’s WorldTours on Tuesday. Both calendars run from August 1 to November 8. All dates, of course, are provisional.

The highlights are men’s and women’s Strade Bianche leading the way on August 1, Paris-Roubaix moving to October 25 and including a women’s edition of the Hell of the North, all three Grand Tours–with the Tour de France leading the way August 31 to September 20–raced over 72 days, and the two Laurentian Classics keeping their original slots.
