  New Tours
  
  Three new tours have been created and some division have been or will be shifted towards a different division. Norway Tour has already been mentioned in the previous article and will take the place of Monte Rosa Tour. Mont Rosa Tour will move to division five in season twenty-eight.
  
  Division two is pleased to announce the arrival of a tour in France with finishline in Paris. Although we are sceptical with the setting of Paris as finishline and the lack of imagination in the name of the race, we believe the community received it with joy in particular the French community. We hope the cobbles of Haute - Normandy are promising and give the riders some challenges. Four stages from Le Havre to Paris with a king stage arriving in Dieppe that will most likely decide the race and a third stage that could present a last chance for the riders that want a tour victory. Paris is home for the parade race, a sprinter will win here a crowd will cheer but, the winner is already known.
  
  Giro di Sicilia is the new tour in division four. An Italian race on the island of Sicily with four stages and passing all the big cities of Sicily. Catania is the start and from there we go to Syracuse, Messina and finish in Palermo. The first stage will be vital. If you have enough seconds there you might be able to win the race. But there are still bonifications in the other three. A sprinter will surely win here.
  
  World Tour
  
  Division A
  
   Barcelona – Quanca
  
  Sunny Spain was home for the thirteenth edition of Barcelona – Quanca. The race is around the mountains in the inlands of Catalonia and passes some high peaks to torture the riders.
  A great move by the Scandinavians made sure that the top nations Belgium and the Netherlands were gone for the victory. Arnold Tollefsen was the strongest in the end and shook off his companions and finished alone in Quanca. Second was Addison Tungate and third Bjorn Eskildsen.

  Division B
  
   Chos Malal – Loncopué
  
  Argentina was host of the division B race through the mountains of the Andes. The Andes is just beginning but, they are still very high and the descents are very dangerous and steep. Winter is coming and the riders will face some cold winds on the mountains. It was a surprise attack of Venancio Bento who took off very early and was almost the complete race up front. In the end two riders tried to pass him but only Mitja Skerjanc could do so, securing a win with that move. Venancio was rewarded with a second place and Innokenty Tipalov was too late to overtake him and finished third.

  Division C
  
   Zürich – Lugano
  
  The Swiss Alps are home to the World Tour race in division C that send the riders from the north of Switzerland to the south.They start on the flat terrain around Zurich and travel through valleys and over mountains to their final destination Lugano. Many good climbers leaded their nation but, they were reliant on their support. In the end Vid Lazic had the best support, Croatia dominated the race and released Vid on the final climb. With minutes ahead he was finally followed by Olimpio Djukate who celebrated a nice second place ahead of Birhan Habtemariam.

  Classics
  
  
  
  VCK Classic
  
  After nineteen seasons the VCK Classic finally could present a trophy. All the previous winners were invited to finally receive theirs on the podium together with the winner of this edition. The hills around Velje were again the scenery of a nice race with many break aways. The final group was created with only 20 kilometers to go. One by one the riders dropped out and at the finishline it was a sprint a deu between Monwabisi Bikitsha and Olaf Moens. The rider from Cremtec won it with an inch to spare. Olaf Moens was furious. Giles Kehrwecker was too tired to celebrate when he finished third.

  Helsinki GP Mini
  
  Helsinki GP Mini celebrated its eighteenth edition. Many sprinters from division two traveled to Finland for this classic and little brother of the famous Helsinki GP. It uses the same course through the town of Helsinki and only changes when the riders leave town for a loop around the county. When they return they are treated with a local circuit that they have to pass six times before they can sprint for the victory. The complete group was together when Ronaldinho Viana raised his arms for victory. He beat Antonio Gabbrielli and Eddi Autzen. Ronaldinho made a double for his team radu. They both won this race twice now.

  Baltimore Invitational
  Maryland, the Chesapeake Bay. We are at the east coast of America. Baltimore to be precise. Baltimore hosts the one of the two sprint classics of division four. All sprinters all prepared for this duo of races as the other classic is following quickly after. But for now, Baltimore is in the spotlights. Named after Cecilius Calvert, Lord Baltimore. The flat roads through downtown Baltimore was a delight for sprinters. It is more like a big criterium through town. And in the end Conrad De Graef was the best sprinter in the end. He was just ahead of Garcia Parilla and Leopoldo Gastulo, who was the first from Peru to secure a podium place in a classic,

  Critérium La Provence
  Top division had a great classic in the South of France, the Criterium La Provence. Unlike the name, it is not a criterium like Baltimore. Here the rider have to climb many big mountains in the Var region. The epi center was at Lac de Sainte Croix. With some big climbs that would shatter the peloton. Three riders started the final climb just seconds ahead but kept a lead and moved away from the peloton. It was Edward Delicano who shined and showed his great form. He beat Reginald Laurence and Bonificio Ballestero just 50 meters before the finishline. All riders were exhausted in the end and the ceremony had to be postponed fifteen minutes because they were out of breath.
