After the big storm about the horrible anti TT and pro climber month, let's see a bit..

Japan: Decembertour. for climbers. Was clear. and can't be criticized, since WE decided that.

The other stuff: (just talking about GC)

Allez Cola: Pure climber
Ijien: Mountain, but could be something like 80-70 too
Myanmar: TT guy 70-80 normally, or 60-xx possible.
Laos: No bloody clue what that is for. Climbers with downhill looks good actually.
Sri Lanka: Pure climbers
Guadeloupe: Hubers
Shalom: Huber
Samoa: TT guy, 70-80 or 60-xx, similar to Myanmar

So...
2 stage races for Hubers
2 stage races for other kind of TT guys, but looks more 70-80 then 60-90 to me.
2 stage races for pure climbers
2 for unpure climbers (meaning 1 strong flat helps, in the other downhill is definetly needed)

So, 4 stage races decided in TTs, 4 not in the mountains or downhill or hills in general.
Poor poor TT guys only get half of the small tours. (Yes, yes, TT guy is not TT guy, but climber is not climber as well)
