The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) 2010 World Calendar includes races in the UCI's top flight ProTour calendar, as well asother major races such as the Grand Tours and certain one-day classics.
The Tour Down Under in Australia kicks off the 2010 calendar on January 19, 2010, and the final race of the year is the traditional season-ending Giro di Lombardia, Italy, on October 16, 2010.
There are a couple of changes and additions over previous calendars, most notably the move of Ghent-Wevelgem from a Wednesday to a weekend date - Sunday, March 28.
Canada also features for the first time, with two ProTour races back to back in September - the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec (September 10) and Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal (September 12).
