UCI .HC road races
The 1.HC and 2.HC road cycling races are the second tier of events in the sport, after the UCI World Tour (or its predecessor, the UCI ProTour). The races are governed by the UCI and part of the various UCI Continental Circuits. The 1.HC events are one-day races, whereas the 2.HC events are stage races. 'HC' stands for the French phrase hors catégorie, which means beyond categorization.
Team participation
In .HC events, UCI WorldTeams may participate, up to a maximum of 70%. The rest of the teams participating may be UCI Professional Continental teams, UCI continental teams and National teams.[1]
