Please tell me these post-Tour exhibition races don’t count as pro wins. I know they are fixed and there for showing off the riders and picking up some cash, so I’m assuming they are not considered “real”
Nope. They dont even count as wins aha. Let alone pro.
As things stand in the current day:
1. UWT (Milan-San Remo, San Sebastian, Montreal Grand Prix etc)
2. UWT (Tour de France, Paris-Nice, Tour Down Under etc)
1. Pro (Milan-Torino, Scheldeprijs, Gran Piemonte etc)
2. Pro (Artic Race of Norway, Tour of Britain, Tour of Oman etc)
1.1 (Ordiziako Klasika, Muscat Classic, Le Samyn)
2.1 (Volta a Portugal, Amissa Bongo, Tour of Columbia)
are the races that count as pro wins. And ofc a GC in a stage race counts alongside stages and classics.
