TheUCI ProSeries is the second tier men's eliteroad cycling tour. It was inaugurated in2020. The series is placed below theUCI World Tour, but above the various regionalUCI Continental Circuits.
In December 2018, theUCI announced various reforms to the structure and organisation of men's professional road racing.[1] One of the major changes is the introduction of a new division of races called the UCI ProSeries. With the introduction of the ProSeries, theUCI .HC road races disappeared from the calendar. In October 2019, the UCI published the 2020 UCI International Road Calendar, including the ProSeries.[2] The inaugural season of the ProSeries was planned to include 57 events, which were formerly World Tour, .HC or .1 events, but many were cancelled due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic of 2020–21.
In events of the ProSeries,UCI WorldTeams may participate, up to a maximum of 70% in European races and 65% in other races. The rest of the teams participating may beUCI ProTeams,UCI Continental teams, or National teams.[3]
The inaugural UCI ProSeries calendar consisted of 57 events, of which 30 were one-day races (1.Pro) and 27 were stage races (2.Pro). Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, multiple events were cancelled, postponed or introduced in both 2020 and 2021 and the ProSeries calendar has been revised several times. The calendar features events in 19 countries on 4 continents:Argentina,Austria,Belgium,China,Denmark,France,Germany,Great Britain,Italy,Japan,Luxembourg,Malaysia,Netherlands,Norway,Oman,Portugal,Slovenia,Spain,Turkey andUnited States.
