Criterium International
With three stages packed in over a long weekend, Criterium International is often called a "mini Tour de France" because it boasts the essentials of road racing: a time trial, a road stage and a climbing stage. Dating back to the 1930s, the race has settled into northeast France and provides a good barometer of who’s on form going into the Ardennes classics.
