Surely we need even more WT events ?

Tour of Britain and Tour of California, but they would need to move them from their current slot in the calendar I think to do so.

3 Days of De Panne shouldn't, it is too close the the Tour of Flanders and would not attract a star studded field, although it does attract some big names.


I think the Tour of California is a great race but are the really not going to Mt Blady this year? If what I saw is true (and hard to tell as the TOC website is complete shit) I dont really know what they are thinking. The route looks ok but having a signature stage as good as Baldy is a good think IMO.

They're hitting Mount Diablo which is harder then Baldy actually

I think if the ATOC were to be a WT event they wouldt need to have at least two mountain stages

Watched every stage of Tour of California... Not even a one spectator at roads 110-30 kms left. Bad covarage. Think that if they won't increase the race they cant get to WT.

Bad coverage? They have the best coverage of the race bar Tour with the Tracker.

Spectators? Ummm there are races in WT with far less spectators..

I think that Tour of Qatar should be in WT. Already a lot of good riders, and there is no tour for sprinters and TT specialists Smile

Tour of Britain is basically the Tour Down Under with crap teams. With the popularity cycling is now getting in Britain I think it could be in the World Tour in a couple of years.

Races like the Tour of Britain or Amgen Tour of California would lose their interest for me if they become WT races.

Small US or British teams make these races so special. And this would be gone if they are WT.

I assume that was a joke? None of those should be WT as the WT stands at the moment. ToB would be a okay choice but it changes what teams they can invite, that was one of the reasons Drapac went Pro Conti this season so they could get a invite to TDU.
Strade Bianche would be a logical choice
Hells 500 Crew and 6 x Everester
Don Rd Launching Place
Melbourne Hill Rd Warrandyte
Colby Drive Belgrave South
William Rd The Patch
David Hill Rd Monbulk
Lakeside Drive Emerald

Dunno if it was a joke, I'd rather call it sarcasm. There are already waaaaay too many WT events.
If I were to make UCI reforms myself, there wouldn't be more than a dozen of one day races on the WT calendar, not sure about 2 or 3 GT mandatory for teams, and perhaps 5 or 6 week long stage races. Like the one that many riders might actually target, not the ones used as preparation for something else.
All the rest would be Pro Conti, with a dozen of WT teams and the rest of the field made of local pro conti or conti teams.

Drop: Beijing, one of the Canadian races, Catalunya.

New: Oman (great mix of hills, TT, flat and good weather), 1 US-race (I like USAPCC more than Cali), a hilly classic in GB and perhaps replace Poland with a bigger Eastern European race in Poland, Slovakia, Czech..

Apart from Britain having much more interesting routes, more roadside fans (as of the last few years) and taking place during the actual cycling season

The question wasn't which organizers want to go WT, but what races do we want to be WT Wink
Yeah, Strade Bianche.... Forgot that one, love to watch that race, WT as well Smile
