UCI race classifications

The UCI rates races according to a classification scale. This is indicated in a rating written as two parts. This indicates both the type or style of race (the first half), and its importance or difficulty (the second half)

A higher rated race will result in the sucessful riders receiving more world ranking points.

Road racing

There are two possible codes to indicate a road race: '1' for a single-day race, and '2' for a multi-day (stage) race. They are seperated from the second part of the classication by a decimal point.

Mountain biking

There are two possible codes to indicate a mountain bike race: 'E' for a single-day race, and 'E' for a multi-day race. There is no decimal point in a written mountain bike classification.

Cyclocross

All cyclocross races are indicated by the code 'C'. Again, no decimal point is used in the written form of the classications.
