Race schedule next year

[Genomico]

Just to give my opinion and to see if more people agree or not:

I think for next season it would be nice to have a little difference in the race schedule. So e.g. you can move all races one day. (Last season we didn't do this, because the last race of the season would then be on a Monday and we would have almost 2 full weeks in between seasons. But you can move all races one day and keep the Giro di Lombardia on a Sunday so you still keep one week in between seasons).

I think moving all races 3 or 4 days would be even better. Then you have a lot of difference compared to last seasons. Well, whatever will be decided, I think it's nice that there is a little difference in race schedule, so not all races are in the same weeks again. A change in tactics and see riders participate in other races than they did last season would be nice in my opinion.

I suport you. Last season i made a topic about this also.

I think moving all races 3 or 4 days would be even better <= best choice.

More races no?
Specially in the 2nd week, with only Milano-SanRemo...one race in one week is a omicide

That would be a nice slot for De Panne Tour or Vuelta Murcia. Please don't make me go a whole week between races again! Only one race in nine days is so depressing...I almost started talking to live people again!

Nikeboy is trying to set races 2 days earlier next season.
Why should races be moved in fixed days? In my opinion it's better to have a new look at the calendar and create a balanced schedule.

As long as the time between seasons stays maximum 1 week, I'm for anything.
So allways move races forward, not backwords (not later).

He wants to move the races backward after MSR

I support this idea. I think that a new schedule and some new races will bright more the game.

backwords meens longer pause period between seasons, and that's not good.
Moving a few races forward would meet everyone's needs and keep the paus to max 1 week.

Moving races without fixed days would be even (much) better.

For me it is every season different.
Cyclist are getting better, some quicker than others. So the ones who are the best for e.g. TdF are perhaps not the best next season.
It doesn't matter whether the season starts on monday or tuesday or on wich day MS starts or whatever.

It's the dynamic of the game that makes it intresting. Every season over and over again.

I would say in weeks with only one up to three races, add one please! The more the better.

Keep up the good work IP
