September 2011

[Berlin Marks]

Stage 1, 3 and 4 of Settimana Lombarda aren´t really mountain stages. They are middle mountain stage, this could be important in the struggle for green.
Hope this can be changed or said the organizer that this are mountain-stages?

Buhmann?

[Rockstar Inc]

a change while the tour is running would really suck

[flockmastoR]

[auxilium torino]

thanks, saint Leso!

another theme
From 7 to 11 september, Brunei Tour






more as cat.1 must not be!

in my opinion, Padania div. 1-5
and Brunei div. 5-6 will be perfect

[Robyklebt]

Agreed!

[Robyklebt]

But 2 more things

1: Ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly titles in Brunei. Just cut the stupid and fairly useless 2011. Everybody will realize it's 2011 when racing the race. Everybody will see it was in 2011 in the palmares, there the date is written. Plus, it's actually WRONG. Like the Giro. We didn't ride the Giro 11, that's not the name of the race. The race is Giro d'Italia. At RSF just called Giro. The name isn't Giro d'Italia 2011, not Giro 2011 or Giro 11. It's WRONG to call it like that. There is no reason to put the year into the title, since the year will be clear to everybody even in 1000 years who looks at the palmares. So, instead of making Brunei look really ugly by calling it TourBrunei2011, why not just use common sense and:
Tour Brunei st. 1 etc etc

2. Again Brunei is a really extreme sprinter tour. Like the last Tour D5-6 got, Qinghai. I realize that all the big D1-4 teams feel mistreated if D5-6 are offered a more interesting tour, and poor little D1-4 isn't allowed to compete. "Boring" sprints, ok, they can have it. Fully support Brunei as D5-6 tour. BUT, let's not limit it to that, let's give D5-6 or even only D6 another tour later in the month. And NOT a sprint tour this time .

Actually Hokkaido as a really unimportant tour would be perfect... doubt Leso will do it. but what he has to do is: Hokkaido at cat 1, makes no sense at cat 2 whatsoever.

mmh, it was 3 now.

[Pirkio]

i don't want to say nothing becouse is in the world tour for true.. but make the padania tour is like do one tour for racism

[Robyklebt]

I'm boycotting it of course

Mmh, how about a fine of 100k for all who participate and then all south Italians get the money? (Can I become a honorary south Italian for a few days?)

[auxilium torino]

Visconti ride also Padania tour...(the real race), and is sicilian...
Only idiot think that this is a racism race, sorry, piero, but is a sports event, no more

[Woddeltown Team]

Can anyone explain it to me why Padania is a racism race?
Or is it only for italians?

Other question:
how about races from September 11th to the end of the month?
Is their anything planned and not written into the calendar (because oh Lesos time) or ist their only Hokkaido and WC?

[Radunion]

The Italians may correct me: The race is organised in cooperation with the Lega Nord and Padania is is the country they would like to create in northern Italy.

Interesting that a political party creates a cycling race to promote their ideas. The question is whether the UCI should include such a tour in the calendar (would it be different if it would be organized by a centre or centre-left party?), and how should the teams and riders react. This is not the WorldTour, so nobody forces them to take part.
