Most popular events

Measured by the number of hits on the event page. We've included both gran fondos and sportives. 

1. Granfondo Vosges
2. Marmotte Granfondo Alpes
3. Les 3 Ballons
4. Tour des Stations
5. Alb Extrem
6. Ötztaler Radamarathon in 2 dagen
7. Santini GF Mt Ventoux
8. Tour du Mont Blanc
9. Ronde van Noord-Holland
10. Schleck Granfondo

Of these 10 events, only 4 did actually occur: 1, 2, 4, 7. The first position of the GF Vosges is not very surprising - it was the only gran fondo in that region that happened. The position of the Alb Extrem could be explained by its high position in our CWIX 250 gravity index for sportives. Same goed of course for the Tour du Mont Blanc, which tops our CWIX 500 (voor gran fondos). We can't really explain the popularity of the Ronde van Noord-Holland.
