A nice. The nationality of the riders determines the participation. Btw. there are many Romanian, Spanish and UK riders as well. An idea to include them somewhere?

Like naspa said are a lot of romanians cyclists in this game. 3-4 years ago Romania was number 3-5 in number of cyclists/results. Most of the time we have 3 teams in first 2 division. I dont find now the statistics with number of cyclists per country Semtex for example have 3 romanian cyclists I have 20 cyclists Almost all teams from div 1.1 have at least 1 romanian .

9th of january : national championships for riders from the Netherlands - 16th of january : national championships for riders from Belgium i put the tactics for this 2 In Belgium was difficult to put my attackers , a lot of my stars are from this country, also i have a very good captain (my number 3 captain) so i could attack 5 times in all 4 races. Was nice to have a ITT too And from Netherlands i have 2 of my young stars but i dont have an awesome captain from this country. Hoping in a top 10 because my young stars dont have sprint and tt. from Portugal i have ..... Roberto Portugal

I understand your feelings that a certain country or a race type is missing. I also was thinking about how many races should be made. Since this is the first attempt and I have no idea about the number of interested and participating teams I wanted it to be something exclusive. Better starting small and succesfull then too large with few people interested? With 4 races in 6 countries we have 24 champions allready. Add three more countries with TT and SP and we end up with 54 races which seemed over the top.
But there is one week left in S22, the 13th of march. We could add two more countries that day? Or we could add SP and TT races. But maybe final sprinting is allready included in the new engine and no separate race is needed? I guess it makes more sense if we pick those countries rationally? Maybe Schizm can come up with a list of #riders for each country and we pick the top 2 missing ones?

nice idea polly, happy to see what you do for the game. You can't do good for everyone, so don't feel bad about countries missing.

My reaction was an attempt to make it even better. I think there could be less races per country (some years a sprinter is lucky other years a climber) and more countries in.
Bet let me (us - I hope) be clear about this in very first place: thanks Polly for what you do for me (us) and the game!

I wasn't offended at all. I was thinking about all the options too. As a solution I like Vazilii's suggestion a lot.
So with Schizm's numbers (thx) I swapp Germany with UK in the opening post and then the final week we can have one national championship race for Romania, Germany, Spain, Poland and Norway.
BTW: 10 more free spots for Holland championships next week.
