This whole discussion and calendar thing is so that we get races with decent and more participation
[...]
But anyway, Austria only two editions is weak I think, should be 3? morning-afternoon-evening.

I agree on the first part but when looking at Giro parallel participation (Dunkerque, Norway) I don't understand how you get to your conclusion to be honest.

Arg, sorry, Schart & Chem,

Well I read that you asked for 13 Chem, but bw and AAD asked for 14/15...

And evening, yes, they didn't ask for anything, but look at the Giro parallel tours:

Dunkerque:
10h: 4 teams
20h: 8 teams

Norway:
15h: 6 teams
21h: 11 teams

So evening deserves a slot for sure and between morning/afternoon also afternoon looked more promising to me... but I didn't see Schartners comment, so maybe if I had seen that, would have changed it to morning, so sorry for that. Hope Sibiu 12h and Wallonie 9h is interesting for you.

ok, can understand your arguments. no problem.

I thought Austria was a more known stage race that deserves 3 editions? But after checking the profiles I don't think it will have many participants so two could be enough indeed.

It isn't (and never was) popular for its design but because there are many Austrian managers in the game and because there are a lot of German managers in the game that go there for holiday
