I now have finished the (hopefully) final version of the calendar:
Calendar - looking good. A few clashes with the GTs, which I am in favour of. Now I guess it is only down to picking the routes, which I can't be of any help - other than to suggest we have a TTT at the Vuelta as we haven't had one before. After starting in Qatar, maybe we could start a GT in Africa sometime? |

You should just run another TOTC 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I like the idea of starting the Vuelta in Morocco followed up by a (prologue esque) TT in Gibraltar

I'd just like to express my transfer situation:
I am not open to money deals. There are still decent riders to be found as FA, some I have my eye on, and my budget is a bit low, so I won't be looking to expend my budget to bid on a rider whose skill I could potentially get for half the price.
I am open to swap deals of a certain nature, but the following are not available for swaps: Keough, Yamamoto, Chaves, Arredondo, Brambilla

What is the Virginia Chrono Tour, five Time Trial stages?

It's only 4 stages, I made a mistake when compiling the list.
The race is in and around Richmond and will feature a prologue, a TTT, a flat ITT and an hilly ITT incolcing the cobbles passages that were used in the WC. |

Okay, good idea, nice TT variety. For a optional CT event. For a mandatory WT event, this race is pointless for 90% of the WT peloton then. How many riders have to participate?

No you don't. You also didn't build a classics squad even though there is Paris - Roubaix on the calendar. Do you want me to remove Paris - Roubaix?
Only 5 riders will have to participate at VCT. |

Ok, five riders is an okay-ish number. 4 would have been even better. I hope the TTT will be extra long so that at least every man in the squad has a noticeable effect. (Not that we'll stand much chance against Prorace-Froome supercombo..)

I planned it to have it with 4 riders, but the TTT was fucked up with only 4 riders entered.
Anyways now all WT profiles in the calendar thread posted, except of the GTs. Those an the CT races will follow some other time. |

Well considering the game takes the team's time on the 5th rider that's pretty normal

Is Asmara Cup the shortest classic ever or a really really long TT?

It's not a TT. At TTs you see a clock next to the profile type. |

K, thanks. How does the finale look like? With the profile being so short, I'm not sure if it's a proper short nice climb or more terrain for a reduced sprint.
