But Paris-Roubaix and all the other races who was Pro Tour races last year will go as usually but the it is them you arranges the race who decides which team who gets to starts.

Yep - the ProTour with that calendar is now defunct - there is no point to it, except a stupid political battle by the UCI - they're like schoolkids

Yes, there is a point!!! We've gone back to the organizational stone age. it's screwed up this way. it's bad for the viewers that don't understand, it's bad for the quality of the races that decreases (Grand Tours excepted) and it's a huge clusterf*** that no one is in charge of.
Cycling right now is about as organized as the Somali government. Considering there is no Somali government, take your own conclusions.
