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.
