The times for the tours are not decided now:

4 times for Andes ? 10, 15 19, 21 or 10,15,18,22 or 5 times 9, 15, 18, 20, 23 ?
There are 2 tours parallel to Andes:
Campania and South Africa .

Caucasus : I thought 9,14,18,21,24
Hungary : 10,15,18,20,23

We have 5 cat 2 one day races in November.
And again every single tour is cat 2.

Stage races at Cat 2: What do we even have category 1 for anymore? IMO in Winter Andes and December Tour should be category 3. The January Tour, loser of the Dec. competition=cat 2. EVERY OTHER STAGE RACE=category 1 Ups, forgot Pavé and Sachsen, they of course can stay higher. And the christmas thing
Otherwise the whole thing somehow loses it sense... winter fantasy tours automatically at 2. What do we even have category 1 for then? Ah, for one day races
I say change it to what it should be, category 1!

One day races: Even if we have most of the fantasy tours at cat 1, IMO there need to be more one day races at category 2. And a third one at cat 3 IMO. Haven't had time this year to look at stuff really, but Poke made a list of deserving stuff... look at that and add more cat 2. Or look at last year yourself (ok ok, you really do more than enough already... I'll try to look at last year instead after this post) and add some more cat 2 one day races. If you change the tours to cat 1... then 8-10 cat 2 should be enough. If you leave the tours at cat 2 the absolute minimum for one day races at cat 2 is 25. And 6 cat 3. So 31 double features at times:)

Edit: Done. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4649
Here you can find Poke proposals and now Donkey proposals. Enough good looking stuff in 2014 that can be added as cat 2 in 2015!

I always said for winter tour that the 3 tours which won the votes should be cat 2 without any tours in parallel and the others only cat 1 with a higher tour in the same time !

I can adapt it

No Campania Tour in the morning?

Adapt. And add cat 2 one day races!

wird irgendwie noch was reale gefahren, oder ist nur fantasy angesagt?...

Auxilium has designed the Tour du Rwanda which is a real one and is in reality from 15-22 November.
Our program has been decided for one month and the only window, I see, is from 14.-19.Nov., only 6 days.
I believe, it could be possible to ride 3 or 4 Rwandas in this time.

Donkey not really happy.
Leso now added that not very good pavé race, but as cat one. What we needed was more RSF classics, meaning cat 2. And actually not pavé classics... But we needed a pavé race too actually, to get to our 2 per month thing....

Anyway, would have been necessary to have way more cat 2 one day races this month.

As a reaction to that I propose that for 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 there will be 0 tours higher than cat 1 in November. And that still wouldn't compensate the lack of cat 2 one day races in November 2015

My rating for your November calendar is: 1 Worst possible.
