- The organiser describes a one-day cycling race in and around Herning; location and format must agree with the named event. [Official history](https://www.gpherning.dk/en/en-fanzone/history)

- The organiser identifies Herning Cycle Club and describes a town-square start and finish; these provide corroborating identity evidence rather than immutable requirements for every edition. [About the race](https://www.gpherning.dk/en/about)
- The UCI lists the 2025 event as an individual road race, helping distinguish it from a motor-racing Grand Prix or a standalone gravel-discipline event. Classification must remain edition-specific. [UCI event record](https://www.uci.org/competition-details/2025/ROA/75656)
