No, we have 10 U21 races like previous season (7 single races and 1 small tour). I understand my numbers aren't 100% clear. The first line are all the 96 races (23 + (11x3) + (2x5) + (3x10) = 96). A sprintrace for example can be a single race or a race in a tour. In case of the U21: the sprintrace is a single race, the ITT is part of the small tour. So the calendar is ready for the new season? What will the first raceday be? And is it time to brainstorm for new ideas for the next season ?

The first race will normally be on Tuesday March 14, if El Gringo can make it with the season update next sunday and then upload the calendar. If I am not mistaken, the first race will be the Dubai Tour. And yes, it is always time to brainstorm for new ideas. We are really open for new ideas.

How about adding a kind of fun races during the 2 "winter weeks" where we can enlist our team in some cyclocross races? Might help in getting more managers from Belgium, Netherlands,.. ?
And new in cycling this year is the Hammer Series, were you participate as a team, is our calender open for something like this (maybe spread over the whole series, add 3 days which make "The Hammer Series")?

there is only one "winter" week, every premium member can make funraces but there is no equivalent for cyclocorss in peloton terrains.
never heard of the hammer series , but spreading stages of a tour spread over the season has been discussed here earlier. Personally I see to many drawbacks.

So the new calender is known. And it seems to be a nice one. But can we have a peek at the first weeks, or perhaps already the complete calender so we can already make some tactics? It is a discussion every time a new season starts. But not knowing what will be the calender, or knowing it so late is cause of teams not engaging for the first races. And perhaps too for not having new managers in the game. (A game that does not work - for outsiders - is a game not played) On the otherhand it seems a bit unfair that a few of the "calendercreators" knows what next season brings us and all other managers don't know. So love to see the new calender (or at least the first 3 or 4 weeks) Thanks. And thanks for the effort of creating a new calender.

We have to wait on El Gringo first. Maybe he made some adaptments.

No, there are enough U21 races already. Now you'll have to choose between the ITT and TTT to send rour best TT'er to. We try to change someting every season.

possible problems: 10-06 Sa 559 U21 Portland Youth Challenge United States NO 65 40 21 29 0 0 11 flat flat U21 U21 is sprint or U21 is put for 2 times? Can a sprint race have 11 attackpoints ? So NO is only U21 , the first U21 is just in the wrong column + what Ab said New excel planningsheet available for download : here a simplified version (for older excel versions and open office) will be available on request. edit : the link above is broken , try this one instead (click).
