Oldest Bike race

Whilst many believe "la Doyenne", Liège-Bastogne-Liège (or
Luik-Bastonanken-Luik if you prefer) is the oldest bike race, this isn't
in fact so.

Milano-Torino was first run in 1876 whilst the Doyenne didn't appear
until 16 years later in 1892 when Léon HOUA won the first three
editions before it was shelved until 1908.

Nor, incidentally, has Milano-Torino been run every year, but
nevertheless, it's still the oldest on the current calendar.
