Counting Races for 2021 Fantasy Cycling Teams

These are the races from which our fantasy cycling teams will be gaining points throught the 2021 season.

Last year, the season came to a halt at the end of the penultimate scheduled day of Paris-Nice as the whole sport shut down in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, re-starting in the last week of July with the Vuelta a Burgos and squeezing in most of a racing season between then and mid-November when the Vuelta España ended. This season was also affected in response to the pandemic: there were no Australian World Tour races to start the season and several other races were cancelled or rescheduled but we managed a season of some sort of normality in Europe and even a rescheduled Olympic Games.
