The British Cycling Premier Calendar Road Race Series is a season-long competition run by British Cycling. It comprises a series of road bicycle races for the country's top domestic road riders.

Organisation and events

In 2010 points were awarded for the first 20 places in each single day road race and for the top 20 overall in stage races as follows: 100, 85, 75, 66, 58, 51, 45, 39, 34, 29, 25, 21, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2. For each stage of a stage race (including prologues) the top 15 riders are awarded points as follows: 30, 25, 21, 17, 14, 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Nowadays the series includes an award for the highest placed U23 rider in the final overall standings. Riders may have up to 10 counting races.[1]

The 2013 series consists of six races:[2]

History

The series was called The Star Trophy until 1975 when it became The Pernod Star Trophy to reflect new sponsorship. It reverted to the name Star Trophy in 1983. It was renamed The Premier Calendar in 1993. In 2014 it became known as the Elite Road Series.[3]
