You left out an option. What if I don't have a favorite (or favourite) professional road cyclist? What if I'd rather go watch local (amateur) racers in what's called a criterium, or crit race.

What if my favorite cyclists competed in the 40 + and 50 + divisions. A friend of mine is SIXTY-THREE and still competes. 💪 He does quite well too. Name withheld for obvious reasons - but pic below. Also a link to a video. Rather than just getting one chance to watch 'em...they compete on closed loop circuit passing by again & again. Starting with the juniors & working up to CAT 1 racing, the competition last all day.
