Ha, didn't know about the Hammer Series! Just shoes how hard it is to rock the status quo, as @jeff80 rightly says the history and misty-eyed factor means the classics stay the classics. And rightly so given the exciting parcours (looking at you, Roubaix) and prestige of winning one, I don't think that can be artificially created no matter the money.
F1 is probably a good/bad example of that, where fans give less of a shit about the modern circuits compared to Monaco/Silverstone et al.
