A rest day in a 7 stage race? Does this happen anywhere else? I'm guessing it is a concession to the early season status, allowing it to be thought of training with an edge rather than a race. Would the same reason apply to the Mallorcan races being 4 one-dayers rather than a 4-stage race?

2017:

Tour of China I: stage, rest day, stage, rest day, two stages, rest day, stage.

Tour of China II: four stages, rest day, stage.

Wow! Thanks, I had missed that. Crazy scheduling: were there huge transfers (did they really tour China?) or just end of season laid back?
