As the name implies, the routes of all stages of the race are rings. Over the years, these were: a ring around the Kremlin (“Kremlin Ring”), an Olympic track ring in Krylatskoye (“Krylatskoe Ring”), a Garden Ring , a ring on the Sparrow Hills (“Sparrow Ring”), a ring along the Luzhnetskaya Embankment (“The Luzhnets Ring ").
The first stage is the prologue, an individual race with a separate start. The remaining stages are group races with a massive start. The last stage - the Garden Ring, traditionally held on May 9, Victory Day .
By analogy with the “ Tour de France ” and other major races, on the “Five Rings” color jerseys are presented: yellow - leader's jersey, purple - the most stable rider's jersey, etc.
In 2016, the race was not held. In 2017, the race returned without the classical stage of the Garden Ring.
