Events

The race calendar for the 2025 season was announced in June 2024, with twenty nine races initially scheduled. [2] The calendar was similar to 2024, with the return of Tour of Scandinavia following a hiatus in 2024 due to a lack of funding. [3] [2]

Following the announcement, the RideLondon Classique was cancelled by organisers, as it was not possible to run the race on the June date offered by the UCI. [4] [5] In October 2024, the final calendar was announced with the addition of two new events [1] – the previously rumoured women's edition of Milan–San Remo, [6] and a new one-day race in Denmark, the Copenhagen Sprint.
