Upcoming races

So Oman has just been opened, I'm in charge of that one again.

Then I'm also in charge of the early session classics.

Looking for suggestions. NO MORE than 1 race a day, but trying to squeeze in a few before Paris - Nice for the lovely premiums to enjoy.

Obviously it all has to be run by Dave, but so far I have

Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 23rd Feb
Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne 24th Feb
Le Samyn 27th Feb
Strade Bianche 2nd March

So am I missing any I should think about looking at? It needs for have around 75% of teams already in the game, else it means adding loads of new riders. I don't mind doing that, but I don't want to overload the place.

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

+1 for Strade Bianchi

I'd love a bit of Africa Tour action, but understand that something like the Circuit of Asmara (24th Feb) or Challenge de Tripoli (28th Feb) might not be the most straightforward to follow.

Well the GP Ouverture has already taken place.

The Costa Etruschi doesn't seem to be happening this year, BUT the Trofeo Laigueglia is in its 50th year, its on the 16th Feb though, so not within the date period

GP d'Ouverture La Marseillaise (France) - opening French cycling season
Gran Premio della Costa Etruschi (Italy) - opening Italian cycling season
Any of these 2, get a couple of french and italian early's in there, just to get a taste of france and italia before paris-nice and milanao-san remo

HOLD UP.

I am talking about adding ONE DAY races to the Early classics. Thats all at this time, anything between 23rd Feb and 2nd March.

So anything to fill in those dates I'm willing to look at ONE DAY races though, nothing else.

I'm not looking to add more tours at the moment and woman's races MAY be in the pipeline for a test 4 26

Think Tom's right, there's an 'early season classics' comp and I'm sure Omloop and K-B-K are in there. By all means add Strade Bianchi, it got some star names last year like Cancellara so it'll probably be a solid addition.

March is already pretty full with the Paris-Nice, Tirreno, Volta a Catalunya and the major classics so it might not be worth adding anther stage race until maybe the start of April where there's a gap before the Tour de Romandie. Pais Vasco maybe? Actually, that's a world tour race, why isn't it in there already?

Gkam the two on the 23/24th are already in the game as the early classics, so strade bianche could be added into those

How about the Vuelta a Andalucia/ Ruta del Sol from 2.17.13 - 2.20.13? I don't think it overlaps with any of the races on your calendar. I myself have no interest in women's races being mixed in.

More of a tour than a classic, but will have a look.

I do like their funding though http://www.mynbest.com/1/1/xt1/0/10/92

DAVE.....Wanna pay £500 and I'll go report from an official car everyday 10 I'll pay my own flights 19

I've been working of the UCI list for European and World tours to get the above races. Thats how I know which teams are racing.

But I think the appetite is there for a few woman's races as a trial ahead of maybe doing a few more in 2014

Agreed, if you're going to add anything, add some women's races.

I rely on Inner Ring's calendar http://inrng.com/calendar/

You might get some ideas from there.

If it were MY game, I'd be packing as many races as I could in, but its not up to me. There are at least 12/13 or the 22 listed teams already in the game

10 stage race starting 21st Feb 39

Also still working on the idea of a couple of womans races, maybe one classic Gent and one tour, just to test the water.

But at the end of the day, all ideas need to go through the boss man 3

What else does it entail? I'd be happy to help out if anyone stumbles or is just short on time....
