Giro d'Italia

Held in the Ardennes since 1892, "La Doyenne" ("the old one") is organized by ASO, owner and operator of the Tour de France, Paris-Roubaix and other major events.

Part of the UCI Historic calendar, La Flèche Wallonne ("the Walloon arrow") begins in Charleroi and travels east to Huy.

Many riders will use the 'race of the two seas' as preparation for Milan-San Remo.

The 101st Milan-San Remo will be held in 2010.
