ING disappointed with the UCI's choice of the calendar Have to ride Langkawi and Bayern, no Trentino, and almost no one-day's
We applied for CT races a while ago, and we're a bit disappointed with the outcome. We applied for about 6 one-day races, and only got three. On top of that, we have to ride Algarve, Bayern - Rundfahrt and Tour de Langkawi. Not that we hate one of those races, but we didn't prefer them, and their all quite a few race days, especially Langkawi.
Here's our CT calendar for 2012:
- Volta ao Algarve 
- Le Tour de Langkawi 
- Omloop het Nieuwsblad 
- Strade Bianchi 
- Critérium International 
- Brabantse Pijl
- 5 Jours Dunkerque
- Ronde van België
- Bayern - Rundfahrt 
- Skoda - Luxembourg 
- Tour de Wallonié
- Vuelta a Burgos 
- Tour de Limousin
- Vuelta a Burgos
- Paris - Bruxelles
Too many flat races for our liking...
And btw, here's a review we've given on the team of Lierse, our rivals. I recommend to read it, although our rivals ruined our layout a bit. I guess that's because they're our rivals

You can always just send 6 riders to Langwaki if you don't want to waste race days, or send all your crappy riders there  |

@mv I know, but it's also waste of CT days I get.
Langkawi = 2 smaller stage races+ 2 race days or 1 bigger stage race+ 4 race days 
@Luigi I didn't apply for Langkawi! He gave me a list of races I'm invited, and I could then give him a list of races I wanted to swap. He didn't guarentee that he would be able to do everything that I asked, since there are other teams too.

After the recent succes of our rivals, we're going to do a similair thing as a prize. When 3000 views, a prize with choice A,B & C will be announced. The choices will be mysterious, but at least one of the choices is a very good one.
The only thing you have to do is being the first to say claim(or something similair) after we hit 3000 views. The only thing is that we need at least 100 views more than Caterham when the time comes. So we have to reach 3000 views before Caterham hits 2900 views. And if that happens, claim your prize. It will take a while, but good luck!

As promised, when we reached 3000 views, we would give away a prize. Good news, we've already reached it! 
Congratulations to SSJ2Luigi! He can now choose one of the (mysterious) options:
A) 31
B) 17-22
C)
D) A mystery box appears. Nobody knows what's inside. The only thing we know is that there are 2 big letters on it: CT
You can now make your choice Luigi. Choose wisely, some of the letters might be very useful for you and the other visitors.

I think B is Tour Down Under. Thought A was Gran Premio M.I. but you don't have that on the calendar |

SSJ2Luigi claimed the prize, and chose for the option with the French flag. So now we have to give him his prize, a link to the Wikipedia page about French: Spoiler Kidding 
No, we will give him his real prize. He might have hoped for the Tour de France squad, but I guess that that's too big, although it might return in later prizes, when it's a little bit closer to July.
But the real prize is that we will now reveal the Paris - Roubaix squad. It's one of our major sponsor goals, and we're there with the strongest team possible.
Team Leader
Tom Boonen
Free Roles
Lars Boom 
Thomas Voeckler
Sprinter
Stefan van Dijk
Domestiques
Grega Bole 
Maarten Wynants
Johnny Hoogerland
Tom Leezer
Hope you're happy with your prize

A) is an age, guessing Tom Boonen?

@Mvhoogdalem + @Ollfardh
Ollfardh is right, A is an age. Might be Tom Boonen, might be completely somebody else. I won't say it yet, since there's a big chance that it returns in later prizes.
And TDU was definitely B, that one wasn't hard I guess
