Ok, so we're not going to create a race thread for ALL races this year, especially since we're only about 10 people reading here :)

This thread is available for you to write about all the races which don't have a race thread.

Actually, due to the disappearance of 2 French WT, there are now less World Teams than last year.

And EF starts with only 4 riders... The two defections raise the average age of the team up to... 21 y.o...

With only 112 riders starting on the first day, that's the shortest startlist of the 2.Pro raced this year. Al-Ula and Andalusia weren't much more populated, but still a little bit more. (The one-day races are significantly more populated.)

Out of the five 2.1 events raced so far, it only beat the shortest (Provence) by 3 riders and Bessèges by 1 one rider.

We can recognise the French touch in this podium 😃 😮‍💨
