On the other hand Post Danmark Rundt being C2HC is nice, though I don't think it will suit my focuses as well as Herning.
Missed that change... Would have loved to see it as a C1/HC race still, especially considering it's one of few stage races where the time trialists are the favourites (probably only Olympia again now on the PCT calendar), and I have a good amount of them 
But hey, you can't have it all

Why would you think that because Denmark is moved, there is one less time triallist stage race? It's just that the HC flat time triallist stage race slot is now taken by a different race. Maybe one of the 'promoted' races will be changing its route

Sri Lankan race, that is quite cool, congrats jph! The two biggest races will still be raceable for us, so thats obviously most important.

Nice changes in the calendar, cool to see more and more exotic teams getting their home race. Great job SN and rest of MGUCI.
Happy to see the P-KV-P being changed to stage race suitable for time trialists, as something like that was missing in the PT calendar. I guess Roman is not so happy though...
Looking forward to profile on new african PT stage race, that should be something special for newly promoted african team.

No big change in the PT which is probably as it should be, Tour d'Afrique looks interesting though, with those countries involved it has the potential to be pretty tough.

Had a closer look at the calendar and I especially liked how you managed to sneak a race for every MG nation basically, great work.

Nice looking calendar. Great work!
Looking forward to Tour de San Luis mostly, personally.
Well that should've been obvious |

That Africa Tour... I smell very good stages.
This seems quite interesting for me, and I can feel the HC planning hurting already. |

Really like the look of this for all divisions, and it seems like more countries than ever are involved in the calendar, which is great to see.
Looking at the Pro Tour, I'm especially looking forward to see what SAA Tour d'Afrique will look like thinking of the race profiles. The same goes for Praha - Karlovy Vary - Praha as a stage race, new races are always interesting! |

Already started selecting some C1/C2 races for next season. Surely interesting to see what the C2HC bands will become!

Already know which 4 races will be my goals, just need to decide which one will b my win goal and how well we will aim to do in the other ones, that and my standings goal might be decided by how many points they are worth.
No idea what the rest of my Calendar will look like though, will probably decide that after seeing the C2HC bands and seeing race profiles. Safe to say I'm looking forward to this new season and think we can do better in it than we did the one just gone.

Excited by the races selected for this seasons MG. As previously stated the Tour of Africa looks as though it'll be a good race despite knowing nothing about the race. The number of Asian races in the HC/Continental catergories is probably the most I've seen, especially with the introduction of the race in Thailand. Thanks for bringing back Java too SN!
