The 2018 UCI World Tour was a competition that included thirty-seven road cycling events throughout the 2018 men's cycling season.[1] It was the tenth and final edition of the ranking system launched by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) in 2009. The competition began with the opening stage of the Tour Down Under on 16 January and concluded with the final stage of the Tour of Guangxi on 21 October.[2] Belgium's Greg Van Avermaet was the defending champion.[3]
As expected, there is no place in the BMC line-up for Greg Van Avermaet, though the Belgian is expected to attend the UCI Gala on the final evening of the race, where he will be crowned winner of the 2017 WorldTour.
