Pro tour calendar for 2008
When we have the cyclingpassions calendar for our monthly toilet pictures, we have the UCI official Pro tour calendar to plan our training tours or Holiday road racing events.
There is a major change compared to last year, for the first time the tour starts outside Europe, the staring location is Down under and will start in South Australia. This will be the first event ever that features outside Europe for the UCI pro tour.
Also, the big 3 are still missing in the calendar, since the start of the pro tour the Tour de France, Giro and Vuelta are not implemented in the UCI pro Tour schedule, however, between June 22 and august 22 there is no race planned so that the major teams can compete in the tour de France.
There is also a Team Event, just like last year it features in Eindhoven in the Netherlands, this will be the last test event for the Tour de France, last year most teams started in the same setup as they would start in the tour de France.
