This story forms part of our North American week on Cyclingnews.

The North American road calendar has lost an unfair share of major races over the past decade, losing all of its major one-day races and with only one top-level stage race for men, Tour of Utah, and for women, the Colorado Classic. Cyclingnews' staff looks back at the five races we miss the most.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
