C1 races will be the main races of choices for PCT teams, but CT teams will also be welcome to apply - PCT teams will just receive priority should a race be oversubscribed.

Do all riders finishing the Tour de Vineyards get ranking points? 
Asia seems to have a lot of stage races, The Tour of Poland looks to have had a serious downgrading, Brixia I guess is C2 as well?
And the Strade Bianchi I guess is C2? My favourite new real life race going in the opposite direction in the ManGame.

Great looking calendar! I love the Asia and Africa races and even an Ukrainian race, that is a must win, however i can only guess terrain so far. 
Thanks for an awesome work, looking forward to C2 calendar and profile for all races.
Looks like man-game circus is everywhere around the globe now.

Great races, we've found our win goal. If it's flat, then Sprinter + Mongolians, if Hilly then Puncheur + Mongolians, and if it's TT, well you get the idea. |

Brilliant. Nice to see several German races added. Plus some new Dutch as well. Do I count at least 3 NZ races now? Should definitely had gone kiwi. |

Im sure Vespa would love it if the entire calendar was in Italy, but that isnt going to happen. Of all 30 PCT teams, only 1 officially has Italy as a sponsor - and thats only the secondary - so of course, the calendar needs to reflect that (Even when then also classing Vespa as Italian)
I dont see Poland as a prestigious race in ManGame terms, it was out of the game for 3 seasons afterall. Toss up between it and Taiwan in C1, and I felt there was more of a need for Poland in C2.
Brixia I havent seen made for PCM12, but there are Italian mountains present in C2. Strade Bianche could perhaps replace the Giro del Piemonte as a CT race, they both would serve the same purpose as flat rated race with hills in it. I much preferred Bianche for the ManGame when cobbled roads were used rather than the more realistic gravel.

Wow, stunning calendar! So many different countries and continents, and we're looking forward to race them all. I assume the Asia tour will be more prestigeous than ever before. This will indeed be an interresting season! |

There are a lot of promising races there, I'm probably going to spend some hours analyzing which ones I should race. I like that the races are so evenly spread this year as well. It might make the race schedules less realistic but at least every team has a home race where they can focus their season.
Can't wait for that Race Profiles subforum to be filled

Great stuff, can't wait to see all the profiles. Of course, I've already found two races we will 100% sure be at the start line. Many exotic races is also cool, I'm sure we'll want to be in a handful of them.

Quick questions - is the Tour of America going to be a three week race? And will there be a C2 equivalent? |

Yes to both.
Johan92's fantasy American GT will be used.
C2 will include the Middle East Tour by nils erik. It may be cut down to a bit less than 21 stages though.

Wonderful mix of races. And 5 races from the Nordic is as well good to see - especially for my team. |

Dont forget the C2 calendar which is still to come
---
Tour of America will be the only 21 stage C1 or C2 race. Depending how popular it is this season, a C2 21 stage race could follow in future - but CT teams are welcome to apply for Tour of America! Would be nice to finally have a larger field for that race
