Upcoming races
So Oman has just been opened, I'm in charge of that one again.
Then I'm also in charge of the early session classics.
Looking for suggestions. NO MORE than 1 race a day, but trying to squeeze in a few before Paris - Nice for the lovely premiums to enjoy.
Obviously it all has to be run by Dave, but so far I have
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 23rd Feb
Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne 24th Feb
Le Samyn 27th Feb
Strade Bianche 2nd March
So am I missing any I should think about looking at? It needs for have around 75% of teams already in the game, else it means adding loads of new riders. I don't mind doing that, but I don't want to overload the place.

So basically we will have to manually search for non-riding riders for our purist teams to comprise all the races
Nah, there are proper unlimited windows so you can make purist changes after the first two and between the last two.
For standard teams you'll have to work out who's riding the first, last or both as it'll be one list covering both races.
That's how I understand it anyway.
Right. ALL the riders for the Omloop and Kuurne will be listed in the startlist.
So you will have to pick between.
There will be 4 transfers between them for normal teams, but purists will have to work it out.
Then it will be unlimited as I change the startlists around for Le Samyn and you will have to pick between the riders for that and Strade Bianche with 6 transfers between.
At the end of each race, I will remove the none riders for the next race, to make your transfers a bit easier
So just to clarify for my purist team, between kuurne and Samyn I can make transfers? but no transfers between the 1st two and the last two races
Correctomondo
Would it be possible to have the Giro del Trentino in the game?
Thanks
Thanks : ) It'd be appreciated
Thanks : )
If Dave wishes to add it im more than happy to run it
Giro del Trentino is added
How many transfers between Omloop/Kurne?
Right, I'm going to make you ALL do a little thought into your teams, I'm going to publish the start lists and you will have to work out your teams OFF game, because I cannot add all the riders in.....
I'll have all the riders for Omloop/Kuurne in the start list, you will have to work out who's in what race yourselves
Then I guess it makes sense to have unlimited windows between those then and keep Omloop/Kuurne as one thing.
The the Omloop and Kuurne are looking similar, the others are totally different
Sounds good, I assume squads for Omloop/Kuurne will be pretty similar?
Id potentially have 6,6,6 and give people something to think about, but its your call
How would you like it set out?
I have it
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 23rd Feb
4 transfers
Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne 24th Feb
Unlimited
Le Samyn 27th Feb
Unlimited
Strade Bianche 2nd March
Yeah Gkam, is it a proper purist comp or are there unlimited windows in between?
This is gonna be fun picking purist teams for this block of races.
How many transfers between races Gkam?
Well the way its space, gives you a few days from now till 23rd/24th and then couple of days till 27th, then few days to 2nd March. BUT, then its straight into the Paris-Nice on 3rd March
I think there are plenty of races. The balance is about right. Best not to overcrowd the game in my opinion. Its good to have them regularly and its also good to have a few days off or even a week inbetween, especially when picking up to four teams over two races at one time.
Keep up the good work guy's
I agree with the above comments....We dont need swamping with races....a few days in between is good sometimes and then the game still remains something to look forward to and it does not become a chore....
Whats the old saying..."Less is sometimes more."
I know the notable racing without having to look them up
It was just fitting in races with similar teams so I didn't have to do wholesale changes to much.
That's why I have ended up with the four and its still going to be quite a bit extra work
Cycling Starlists usually has all the notable races have a look through that.
I haven't found any other one day's to add. So its going to be as my opening post
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 23rd Feb
Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne 24th Feb
Le Samyn 27th Feb
Strade Bianche 2nd March
Ahh ok some good races there
Click the competitions button, it'll list everything.
So What, officially, are the races?
Alot more than just a csv. But don't worry, I have the whole season covered for any of the other 3 who might not be able to do a race/stage for whatever reason
I DO the csv's everyday for free already
I'm looking at other suggestions. But struggling to find any others in that time period that will fit in.
So it looks likes it'll be the four listed above for the early classics, subject to a stewards enquiry by Dave
