More?
The Donkey is getting to it too now:
+
Crawford - Montego Bay
Hobart Hills (It's actually very similar to my beloved Napier Bluff Hill Circuit, we should pay attention not to put too many similar races in, but 2 is ok)
There's actually 3 more I liked, but since nobody has nominated them to avoid making things more complicated I refrain from bringing them into play too.
+ category:
GP Canyon de Chelly, from 2 to 3: Was 3 2 years ago, since FL insisted on kicking it from his preview and I insisted on demanding it staying in the calendar, downgraded it to category 2. But really want it back at 3. Like it, don't know why, maybe because I've never won it. One of those leso races he put in as cat 2 and nobody knew why, but by now I've gotten used to it and while I haven't been able to ride it for a while, it actually usually turned out to be more interesting than it looks on paper (or on the screen, for those that don't print out profiles) Plus it's been there for a while now, cat 3!!!
Napier Bluff Hill Circuit: Great race the first time we rode it in 2018, still a great race in 2019, so for 2020 I'm for category 3!
- category:
GP Brescia: Ok ok, if we manage to get it down to cat 2, I promise that next year I want demand it's complete removal, will wait 2 years. so demand that it 2021 at the earliest. Reasons for my continued campaigning to get rid of this race: I loved it at first and was the one proposing it for winter classic status. Designed by LCB, the ultimate designing genius at RSF. He really did design fantastic fantasy races. Bolkow Bolkow, Letzebuerg, Brescia. High quality! Anybody knows him and can contact him, tell him to come back and design one day super races for us. But.... nowadays there are 2 problems. 1) It's not the original anymore. Redesigned by leso because it had no coordinates. So it changed from this:

to this

Last year in the end decided to put on the new version, but I really really prefer the old one, but since leso had used the new one in 2015.... can't overrule leso just like that. Using the old one, I'm more than happy to never demand it's removal (or let's say at the earliest in 2022) With the new one... cat 2 now, in 2 years I'll campaign for "no more Brescia".
Second reason, another European winter classic that needs to be ridden in early November, but if we get the old one, as I said, I'm ok with having it. So the Donkey demand: Either down to cat 2, or use the old version (if somebody has the energy to redraw it even better, with coordinates better) then it can stay cat 3
- Kisoro-Kabale: Another one of those lesossies upgrades from once ridden to cat 2. I have no bloody clue how this got to be cat 3 actually, 2017, so during the glorious reign of yours truly already, must have been drunk or somebody wanted it at cat 3. Checked, as usual was this FL who despite my repeated protest kept listing it at cat 3, without ever actually really demanding it.... I thought he really liked it, since then I realised that he doesn't actually read my posts. Down to 2, there's nothing really special about it, except the ugly profile due to the altitude. No problem with it as cat 2, but cat 3 seems to much to me.
OUT
I'll join the anti- San Benito Matagalpa train.
There's another 1,5 I have my eye on, but will think longer about it.
