The men's and women's WorldTour cycling calendars face significant logistical challenges and environmental costs, with teams required to fly long distances for each event.
For 2025, the men's calendar has 36 races across four continents, while the women's has 29 races across three continents, impacting their carbon footprint.
One rider traveling from Girona to the Tour Down Under emits 4.87 tons of CO2, leading to a collective team output that implies a necessity for over 30,000 trees to offset the impact.
Long-haul flights for both teams and accompanying staff create a substantial contribution to the carbon footprint of cycling events, raising concerns over environmental sustainability.
