Understanding the calendar produced by the Union Cycliste International (UCI) every season is not easy.

The World Cup series of one-day races and the three-week "Grand Tours" of France, Spain and Italy enjoy an unparallelled status.

These are marked in bold, as are October's World Championships.

The other races here have been picked from the long list on the UCI's full calendar to form a guide to the races that matter.
