The Giro d’Italia traditionally dominates the month of May but an alternative race calendar kicks off this week at the Tour de Hongrie, with Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers), Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal-QuickStep), Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe), Marc Hirschi (UAE Team Emirates), Caleb Ewan (Lotto Dstny) and Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-AlUla) all in action.
A series of French Cup and one-day races include the Tour du Finistère in France on Saturday and the Antwerp Port Epic a week later in the Netherlands. The 4 Jours de Dunkerque is scheduled for May 16-21 and then Tour of Norway ends the month with four days of racing between May 26-29.
