Yes, it\u2019s November and the days are getting shorter, the weather is getting colder and the days of Tours de France and Classics are a distant memory. (Btw, Tadej Poga\u010dar pretty much won everything this year, ICYMI.)<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s a good mix of races to watch on Flobikes.com<\/a> in the next few days. Maybe even stuff you haven\u2019t watched before. Hey, it\u2019s probably better than the new Kim Kardashian show, All\u2019s Fair, which critics are saying is the \u201cworst TV series of the year.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n 2025 UCI urban cycling world championships<\/p>\n First things first\u2026BMX, baby<\/p>\n The UCI urban cycling world championships are taking place from Nov. 4\u20138 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event, which includes BMX Freestyle Park and Flatland along with trials, marks the first time any UCI world championships will take place in Saudi Arabia. Riyadh will also host the 2026 edition, reflecting both the country\u2019s growing investment in international sport and the global rise of urban cycling, according to the UCI. (\u2026)<\/p>\n Flobikes<\/a> is broadcasting the races on Saturday and Sunday, starting at 5:25 a.m. EDT, so turn on the coffee machine and give it a go!<\/p>\n Fake and fun crits with all the stars<\/p>\n The 2025 Saitama Criterium by Le Tour de France returns for its 11th edition on Nov. 9, closing the cycling season with a circuit race in Saitama, Japan. Twenty-one Tour de France riders, including stage winners Jonas Vingegaard and Jonathan Milan, will line up alongside leading Japanese teams. Vingegaard, a two-time Tour winner and 2025 Vuelta champion, and Milan, this year\u2019s Tour green jersey and double stage winner, headline the field for the post-Tour showcase that has become a fixture since 2013.<\/p>\n Speaking of Kim, I can promise you the acting in this little event will be a little better. Hell, you will probably see Vingegaard outsprint Milan. But whatever, maybe good viewing while riding the trainer?<\/p>\n The only problem is it\u2019s being broadcast at 12:45 a.m. EDT on Sunday, but hey, maybe if you\u2019re up, why not.<\/p>\n Superprestige<\/p>\n On Monday, the Superprestige heads to Niel, Belgium for the Jaarmarktcross. The course\u2019s trademark mud, sharp climbs and lively crowds make it one of the series\u2019 most popular stops.<\/p>\n Last year, Laurens Sweeck and Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado took solo wins after strong performances, and this year\u2019s field will again have to dig deep to conquer the demanding circuit. The racing returns to Niel on Nov. 11 \u2014 a fixture known as much for its energy as its mud. The racing comes after a weekend of European<\/a> \u2018cross champs\u2013so the pros may be a little sore. But a couple of \u2018em will have a brand new white and blue jersey.<\/p>\n
