February Races

Are the tours of Qatar and Oman or the Vuelta a Andalucia going to be included in the fantasy season? Other races in Feb which would be good to include would be the Volta ao Algarve and the Giro di Sardegna but these clash with the tour of Oman and the Vuelta a Andalucia.
It seems a shame to have a month completely race free and after a fairly good start in the TDU, I don't want to have to wait until Paris-Nice to get my team racing again again.

Hmm, personally I dont mind the break, its time consuming picking your team every day, all the more so for the big races which mean 3 weeks consistent effort.

you can always go purist for those ones... only one team to pick then

What about just Het Nieuwesblad and K-Brussles-K as bonus stages at the end of February

These appear to be more realistic than the week long tours especially if there is concerns over the accuracy of the results and timing.  39

tour of qatar/tour of oman aren't beyond the realms of possibility since they're ASO and we can be fairly sure the results will be up quickly and accurately. i'll need to look into it a bit though.

See I think all world tour races should be added unless there is a crossover. So tour de Romandie, Eneco Tour and Tour of Bejing could all be added in my opinion

But its all up to Dave, he does a great job at running this game as it is, i just like the day to day, so miss it when there are big gaps in the schedule

At the end of last season peer pressure caused the powers that be to add a race on at the end so i imagine the system is already in place to add or remove races.

Mind you i know as much about computers as Andy Carroll knows about putting a ball in the net this season.  19

I have to admit it seems sensible to have at least a couple of races, no matter how short, included for February, but i will leave that upto the powers that be.  39

Why don't we just practice and see how we would have done. You get all the results on the Internet anyway.

Dave, what's the chance of being able to add these races next year? Seems like Algarve would be more fun 'cause there's both a mountaintop finish and (!) a time trial.
