New race in Denmark: These are the men's and women's 2025 World Tour calendars

It is thanks to the success of many Danish professional cyclists, but above all that of two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard, that the Scandinavian country will also appear on the World Tour map in the future. However, not too much is known about the new race, the Copenhagen Race, apart from the fact that it is on the schedule for both the women (21 June) and the men (22 June), starting in Roskilde and finishing on a city circuit in the Danish capital.

Aside from the additional race, little is happening in the UCI's most important race series. A few dates, such as the Cyclassics in Hamburg, will return to their original dates after being postponed in 2024 due to the Olympic Games. A major all-round change was not to be expected either - because UCI President David Lappartient has finally announced it for the following season. From 2026, the World Tour calendar will take a significantly different form.

In 2025, 36 races will be part of the men's World Tour - totalling 171 race days at the highest level. They are spread across 13 countries and four continents. The opening race traditionally takes place in Australia, while the last race will once again be held in China.
