All spring classics are almost the same. I agree that an Amstel gold and flanders should be relatively flat for this game, but a Fleche Wallonia and LBL look a bit like half mountains. They are no longer typical hills. (10 to 15 km mountain) Lombardia and a San Sabastian are relatively as difficult as an LBL? Do you look later in the year, the Volta Limburg Classic, Milano-Torino 2019 is 20 km or more mountain again? That's funny, right? It doesn't really matter to me, it's just monotonous. Don't think of it as criticism, but as constructive.  Again : I do not agree... Flanders is not flat : hill ... steep hills (up to 20%) but short... LBL are NOT mountains : they are hills -- longer hills then flanders, but not as steep. LBL : Longest climb : Col du Rosier 5.9% 4.4km (NOT 10-15km!!!!) second longest : Cote de la roch en ardenne 6.2% 2.8km!!!! and the a lot of climbs between 1 and 2km... Big difference with mountains!!!! |

Is there an excel planning sheat for this season? Yes, there is! In fact, there are even 4 of them (just like last seasons):
normal version 1: ( click) normal version 2: ( click)
edit: there was an error with Milan-San Remo, somehow that was a duplicate of Milano-Torino in the database I got. I now corrected that race

My compliments on the attack points in the big tours.
For many managers this is always a pain in the ass.
Difficult to save riders in such a big tour if you bring a leader, who wants to save riders and possibly also a u26 rider.
Leadership is really so crucial in this game, novice managers can't even afford an LS 10 and have to be happy with an LS 5.

All spring classics are almost the same. It doesn't really matter to me, it's just monotonous. I agree with this. It is realistic compared to real life but there are too many similar races close to each other in my opinion. With Nieuwsblad, Kuurne, Samyn, StradeB, Setti stage 3, E3, GentWG, DwarsDV, RondeVV, BrabantseP, AmstelG, FlecheW, there are 12 out of the next 22 races almost similar to each other (without counting U22). |

That is absolutely right, but that also gives chances to the other teams than the top teams to win races. The situstion is the same for everybody and no managers has riders to win all of these races. Therefore I am a bit surprised that some of these teams have their line up ready for the entire week on sunday evening. If you are in the bottom half of the league and you have a real good cyclist with chances to a win, I would be sure to avoid some other good riders, which is really possible this week. |

I agree with you. That is a nice aspect. But in this situation it seems over the top. This week will probably have about just the same winners as the week having E3, GentWG, DwarsDV... in two weeks.
Imagine having a rider with good hill, some mountain but no flat. Twelve hill races upcoming but not a single one really fits your rider.
But making a good calender sure isn't easy, respect for anyone trying. |

Yes it's a bit of an overkill this season. But still respect for putting the time in making it.

True, making a calendar is more difficult than it looks.
I made last seasons and if you want to make one suitable for everyone it means a lot of thinking, planning, balancing, check back, adjust and math.
And of course be creative and try to be objective and don’t look to much at your own riders.
But that costa that much time that you can’t do it every season.
So volunteers are always welcome.

Indeed, otherwise the season looks great.
Especially in the big rounds I find it a huge addition to play with less attack points.
The white jersey is for the best youngster, but how do you know who has the best youngster if you can't attack with them.
