Caruut said:What you seem to be describing is the race. You've just listed every aspect of what makes a particular race that particular race and said it's the parcours! Fair enough all those features define the race, but parcours just means something else.
There are also old races that could be revived, if existing ones don't want to join in.
In other news, absolute female dog move by the UCI, pretty much sums up the organisation to me:

They've registered domains for worldseriescycling.com, .org and .net. Why bother? Firstly it would probably be a short legal fight for WSC to get them back, and secondly, this fight is not going to be decided on who gets the best domain name. Epitomises the petty, greedy small-mindedness of the UCI.
yes, I know what parcours means, but on this occasion although i was comparing the actual parcours of for instance Lombardy to some sterile race in China i was extending it to encompass all that comes with it..
