We are actually very close to that
You say some exceptions, like the Tour of Beijing only at 3 (Hangzhou cancelled, good). We have a few more. Down Under, Poland, Eneco join Beijing at 3 usually. Which IMO is more than ok.
And we have 2.HC exceptions that make sense too. Look at the full 2.HC list
Qatar
Oman
Langkawi
Criterium International
De Panne
Trentino
Turkey
Dunkerque
California
Bayern
Belgique
Luxemburg
Qinghai
Wallonie
Denmark
Burgos
USA Pro Cycling Challenge
Limousin
Hainan
Some of them are clearly "worth less" than others. The status isn't the same for Hainan and De Panne. Langkawi and Burgos, Qinghai and Trentino. Some of them as cat 3 would just be a joke (since both Alk and I agree that Beijing should stay 3)
As for Turkey don't care... Trentino should have been 3 clearly, if it wasn't.. brr. Turkey can be 3, (although high status for a few years is clearly wrong, same as good squads by the PT teams.. .good money and weather, so there, send a few guys who can't ride (Ubeto for Lampre..) and some other dudes But still lots of PT teams there, so 3 certainly ok) but then put it in at the correct time.. .overlap with LBL.
Kraftsystemrevision! Include the distance!
Basics reform: Give blue a chance!
Don't punish bugusers. We all have to use bugs, since most of them are declared as "features"!
Got a carrot from FL. But they threaten to take it away now.
