Zuri-Metzgete
Züri-Metzgete (Zürich German; English: Championship of Zürich; German: Meisterschaft von Zürich) was a European Classic cycle race held annually in Zürich, Switzerland, and continues as a mass participation event. Although perhaps not as prestigious as the five one-day cycling “Monuments” (Milan – San Remo, Ronde van Vlaanderen, Paris–Roubaix, Liège–Bastogne–Liège and the Giro di Lombardia) it is a race with a long history and a tough parcours. The Züri-Metzgete was a round of the former UCI Road World Cup (which ran from 1989–2004) and a round of the UCI ProTour, the World Cup's successor, for two further years. The 2007 edition of the race was canceled after organizers failed to attract enough sponsors. In 2008, the race was held on September 7, but the format has been changed to an amateur competition.
