RedheadDane's Cycling Christmas Calendar - 5th Edition

[RedheadDane]

Yup, I'm back! Same format as last year, but with a little twist:
I'll select a race one day ahead - using my highly scientific method - and then I'll write a few lines of information about it, then you can see if you can guess it.
Please note that there will not be a prize for getting it right. Well, you could buy yourself some cake, but you can also buy yourself some cake if you don't get it right.

Happy Holidays​

Highlights

Here's the first riddle. Will be revealed on 1/12.

Distance: 225.9 km
Vertical meters: 3200
Gradient final km: 0.0 %
Average speed winner: 43.873 km/h
Won how: Sprint of 3 riders

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Well if it were 255.9km, it would fit the data for the Amstel Gold race perfectly, but as it is, I've no idea.


Given that you have quoted it: the idea of giving average speed to three decimal places is ridiculous: suggests that they know the distance ridden by the winner to within 1.5 metres.or the time to the nearest eighth of a second. PCS's fault, not RhD's, but a pet peeve of mine.

I'll consider not adding the average speed.

BTW, I was actually originally planning to write some short statement about each race, but for several races I kinda struggled to come up with anything other than "He went solo for a rather long time."

It is indeed the AGR. Or more specifically, the Men's AGR.

Distance: 137.9 km
Vertical meters: 1102
Gradient final km: 0.2%
Won how: Sprint à deux

AGR was an amazing race with a great winner.

No clue about the other race. Maybe a Vuelta stage cut short?

I was thinking a TDU stage as we generally have 120-160 km stages but no dice

Remember: it's only 1-day-races, and it's not only men's races.

Fair enough. Omloop Niuewsblad WE?

Ah good to know, because I checked TDF, Giro, Vuelta, Catalunya, Basque, Suisse, Dauphine and Romandie 😂

Is it men and women or also junior and U23?

Men and Women WT.
+ World's (RR)

(@CyclistAbi is gonna be disappointed Roglic doesn't feature. Well, Roglic will just have to win a WT 1-day race if he wants to feature. And... I don't think he knows about this.)
