Cancelled events

Due to COVID-19-related logistical concerns raised by teams regarding travel to Australia (including strict quarantine requirements), the Tour Down Under (18–23 January) and the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race (30 January) were cancelled. [3] [4] On 8 June 2022, the Benelux Tour (29 August – 4 September) was cancelled due to a pressurised calendar. On 17 June 2022, the Tour of Guangxi (13–18 October) was also cancelled due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. [5]

Teams

The eighteen WorldTeams were automatically invited to compete in events, with the top two UCI ProTeams listed on the 2021 UCI World Ranking (Alpecin–Deceuninck and Arkéa–Samsic) also invited automatically. Other teams were invited by the organisers of each race. [6]

Notes
