Your biggest problem really is here. By having 20-21 days each SAM and CAM get so late that you don't want to have offseason classics there anymore, understandable, since real races start again. But making all these excursions a bit shorter, might make sense. And would be fairer to Asia as well, since in its 21 days a bunch is stolen by the christmas specials. 6 days to be exact. Or is it because you don't have enough Asian races? If that's the case I could be convinced to design some... don't know, in India maybe?RSF Offseason Tour
16.10.2024 - 05.11.2024: MED - Mediterranean (South Europe, North Afrika, Arabic Region, prefer non European races)
06.11.2024 - 26.11.2024: AFR - Africa (Sub-Saharan Africa)
27.11.2024 - 17.12.2024: OCE - Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, ...)
18.12.2024 - 07.01.2025: ASIA (India, South-East Asia, Indonasia)
08.01.2025 - 28.01.2025: SAM - South America
29.01.2025 - 18.02.2025: CAM - Central America, Mexico & Caribbean
Shorten all the other ones by 6 days too, exception the first one since that already started. 06-20 AFR
21-05.12 OCE
06-21 ASIA
Make 22-1. mixed, since it has all those Christmas-New Year specials
2-16 SAM
17-2 CAM
Then in February again open, mix southern Europe, rest of the ridable world.
Tarse-T-T or Ehime or something else?
The turkish one would almost fit in the MED spot, where it should be anyway, but 7.11 close enough. And I guess rideable, don't think it snows in early November? Ehime would take the first ASIA spot, November average high 18.1, minimum 9.6, in December 12.6 and 4.8, so in ealy december might be something like 14 and 6/7 or so? already better. than the 18.12 spot
With the shortened thing above then:
Africa with 3 classics for 4 spots, You have one open. Taken by T-T-T potentially. (7.11.)
OCE 3 for 4 spots, you have one open.
ASIA 8. Ehime 15. Colombo 18. Aizawl. If no Ehime, you have one open.
SAM you have 1 for 4. BUT it might become 2, Itaburito would lose my minus vote, probably that of others too, if Poke does indeed change it a bit, and puts the goal a bit further from the last monster pavé climb.
And then you have the CAM races to distribute in the open spots. Which you still could move around a bit if you want of course, if Itaburito comes back in, you'd need one more spot anyway, then just put a spot on the Sunday after the Down Under Classic (which of course is just a criterium), and then you can have one CAM race there. 15-19 the 2 last off season classics then, no problem, before Down Under.
Edit: Depending on Itaburito and if you have enough pavé races for Nov, might make sense to assign Presa Allende one of the open Nov spots, since Itaburito would be in January. IF you have pavé stuff for Nov, no problem to have both PA and Itaburito in January, but if you don't, Nov for Presa A. would be sensible, since you should be able to find pavé races for January, SAM and CAM!
