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.

la Flèche du Sud 🇱🇺 13–17/5/2026

This 5-stage race got upgraded to class 2.1, but it looks very much like the teams didn't get the message: there won't a be a single World Team, nor a single Pro Team!

Actually, Visma comes with a 50% WT / 50% Conti team. Per UCI regulations, it counts as a WT, as on a class .1 race, you can include up to 4 Conti riders in a World Team on a class .1, while you can only include up to 2 WT riders in a Conti team.
