How to Plan Around Race Classes
- Use the race class first to separate headline objectives from smaller calendar fillers.
- Match leaders to the profile: climbers for mountain stage races, sprinters for flat classics, and cobbled specialists for northern classics.
- For stage races, check the stage count before committing your best riders, especially around Grand Tours and week-long tours.
- For one-day goals, the date and profile matter more than stage count, so keep specialists fresh for the races that fit their best attributes.
