Apologies and thoughts?

Right, Its MY fault that the Early classics has become a bit of a joke. From the outset it was going to be Omloop and KBK, that was it.

Seen as the season has been going quite smoothly so far for most, I thought I would reward the premium users with an extra couple of races and squeeze them into the early classics as a bit of a bonus for you.

Unfortunately the KBK was cancelled, do to conditions outwith my control. I may act like god, but I do not control the weather. Sorry 3

Now Le Samyn is looking like a bust aswell, because I cannot get a start list, I have even emailed AND phoned the hosts, to no joy I'm afraid.

So......

What would all your premiums say if Le Samyn was switched out for G.P. Camaiore.

Thus giving you an extra day to plan teams, I have the full startlist, which I can update RIGHT NOW. Giving you three Italian races, back to back, with very similar teams. It would look like this

G.P. Camaiore 28th Feb
Strade Bianche 2nd March
Roma Maxima 3rd March

If this is not to everyone's taste. Thats ok, but as of right now, Le Samyn is looking like a wash out I'm afraid

I'm ok with either. picking a le samyn/strade bianche/roma maxima purist team is hard but actually quite a fun problem. switching with Camaiore would be easier but not as interesting. and like you said, the KBK curveball really wasn't anyones fault unless you have the power to control the weather (or do you?). chapeau to you gkam for going above and beyond what you needed to do just to keep us players happy 1

Drop Samyn, I agree. Startlist angst and weather issues mean it makes sense.

For next year, can I just point out that it rarely snows in Langkawi... 3

I would be fine with dropping samyn. I would be happy to stick with strade and roma.

I agree on switching Le Samyn for G.P. Camaiore.

I'd be happy to drop the Samyn, with or without a replacement, if it allows pushing the deadline a bit further out, especially for purists. It's a bit tough to pick teams when there aren't any startlists. It should probably be agreed and done quickly though, for the benefit of those playing in further-flung timezones.

Cheers Gkam - I'd be happy to scrap Samyn if we can't get a startlist on time, and since Camaiore has a fair number of starters in common with Strade and/or Roma, I wouldn't have a problem with bringing it in.

Ive just emailed you back Gkam, and im fine with either choice as ive sorted my teams from the current info available

However, due to having a pretty full startlist for all those other 3 races, and many riding 2/3 if not all 3 it would make life easier
