That explains why TheHoeke didn't want to take part at ICL.

If Vaconsolei is free...

i'll give it a go.

Thanks

Yeah, welcome! I'll PM you with the info tomorrow

cool,

Let's take look at next year's calendar.

GP Bruno Beghelli became HC in 2014, that one will be added. I'd also like to add a cobbled classic in the final season part, but I don't want it to be Belgian again, who knows a good 1.1 race?

Which other races would you like to see added and why?

I/Euskaltel have three suggestions (not that I expect or want all three in there):

Prueba Villafranca-Ordiziako Klasika:
A Basque race that produced a nice race when used in EHST with a nice balance both awarding attacks and leaving the big names to chase.

Klasika Primavera:
Somewhat similar to Ordiziako in terms of profile, but with harder hills that will probably produce a larger selection in a "full" peloton. My guess is that Primavera will produce best gameplay in a race with several strong teams compared to EHST who only have a few strong teams.

Circuito Getxo:
Mentioned because I as Euskaltel manager have to suggest all possible Basque races.
A flat classic finishing on a tiny hill.

I wouldn't add any more races personally. We've struggled to get through certain parts of this season as it is with people continually becoming inactive or busy.

If you do want more though, I'd say Tro-Bro Leon would be a good addition. Tour of Utah? I second Klasika Primavera too.

I agree that we might not need more races, but that doesn't mean we can't change a bit in the races we have.

We have an extra team (Drapac) and more teams will sign additional free agents, so I tihnk we need more races.

One of my prefered ones is Roma Maxima, but we may have enough Italian races already.

Anyone found me that end season cobble classic yet?

I believe the GP Jef Scherens is slightly cobbled, if anyone could check that for me.

Kampionenship Vlaanderen (or however it's spelt) is late season and cobbled.

But i'm firmly against more races, but nothing wrong with some rotation. We don't need to season to move any slower and it's not like every race is full

Yes, I know Jef Scherens is, but I'd prefer a non-Belgian race

How about La Drome Classic for a french race, the last climb before the finish gives some interesting races 3rd for Klasika Primavera

Drome Classic would give nice overlap issues with Kuurne, Lugano and Almeria on the same day

I suggest we get rid of a few races too though. Could even consider changing the WT calendar (e.g. scrapping Beijing). Especially since WT will only be 16 teams.

No one says that the race days have to be the same as irl

Definitely second Getxo, a bit sentimental towards it thanks to my story Can we possible add another Australian race? Herald Sun Tour? Possibly have NZCC as well. Roma Maxima would also be a good addition and maybe Dwars Door Vlaanderen.

Or downgrading Beijing and scrapping another chinese stage race as Beijing probably have the best route.
Perhaps three Chinese stage races are a bit more than we need...

I'd suggest scrapping Qinghai as that is pretty long (and boring) and the replacing Hainan with Taihu (as we have in reality already done this season) as a completely flat stage race with no hills or TT's or anything is a good opportunity for sprinters to battle for GC based on bonus seconds which could be fun.

Dwars doors Vlaanderen
Roma Maxima
Herald Sun Tour

Is all good races to add. And 3 races is too many for China, Qinghai wasn't good so that should be removed

Dwars Door Vlaanderen already is in the game

I think Hainan will be removed, since it's not even made.
