UCI World Tour
Let an agent explain the UCI World Tour, its calendar, teams and licensing, relay results and rankings from official sources, and place it within the structure of professional cycling.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
