Please consider adjusting the calendar so we always have at least two and preferably three racing days per week? The week with Milano - Sanremo is always sloooooow. Thanks. I've spent all my $$ on riders and now have nothing to do except sort and resort my riders.

it's fine the way it is, it's all about tactics (my cyclists lost more fitness in the last race last week)

While the tactics argument is valid, I agree with Lee. This week seems so very long. There should at least be 2 races in any week. Maybe push back one day the last Tirreno-Adriatico stage?

With the new RE, there will also be a new calendar with new (and maybe more) races. When we create the calendar, we will try to take this into account.

Our vuelta ao Algarve? (Contador came here the 2 last years( won in 2010, an this year came Tony Martin nº 1 WCI and won) ;D

Awesome - I remember that there were plans for new calendars when the new race engine came along in the past. Really happy to hear that is still happening!!

But no promises

While Peloton was away I joined another cycling game that had different races for each division, and everyone wanted to race the Grand Tours. It actually discouraged new managers to find out they were racing in fictional races instead of the GTs and 1-day Classics.
So it might be wiser to focus on varying the calendar with some new races each season. Even adding/changing 10% of the stages/races each season would keep the racing fresh, imo.
Like change one of the GTs (maybe keep the ratio of Flat/Hill/Mountain/Downhill/TT steady) each season or every other season, and change 1 or 2 short tours and a couple classics. That would be a lot of new stuff for managers to adapt to.
Also, maybe look at adding a couple of new race formats (a Mountain TT, an U-25 only race, a Cobblestone race (checking for Flats more often?) in the coming seasons.
I know getting the new race engine up and running is most important, and that should entertain everyone for a while, but adding new stuff would be awesome as the seasons go by.
Really nice having the Peloton back. It's ruining my sleep again!!
