May is coming and it's time for the GIRO! Let me know which time you prefer. 10-15-18-21 in the PDF. Those are the times not used last year. But can be changed of course if there is demand for a different time

For anyone who cannot ride GIRO (or for comebackers during Giro) I tried to make the parallel program attractive too. We have Dunkerque + Norway with 2 editions each. Let me know if any particular preferences there! If someone knows, he misses the Giro, it might be nice to at least choose the time(s) of the parallel tour. I also put in quite a few real one day races (more attractive because of the prestige and the category), so the parallel programme remains interesting, even though it's normal that participation is a bit lower than in the Giro.

Clear preference towards 14h for the Giro, but I could also switch to the morning edition if times stay as they are

I will demand 19H once again last year 19h was wanted by most teams and (nearly) no teams preffered 18h

18 h really doesnt fit mehr i would need a 19 or 20h edition but with only 4 editions 20h once again unlikely

normally i would ask for 19h like Hansa, but this time even 19h is probably to early for me, if late evening stays at 21h, i will probably just go there if the profiles are good enough for my team

22h would be perfect!
but 21h would also fits to me, but 22h even better. 23h for 3 weeks maybe a bit late but still better than 21!
anyway. i can live with all of these three times.

well if we got 21h, 19h seems a bit to early. but just in my eyes.

keep on the great work!

14h sounds fine, 15h okay for me too.

would prefer 22h, too

El Donks prefers 15h, but can deal with 14h

14h better, 15h would be hard for me

For GTs, I always prefer 9am over 10am due to the length of the races.

If morning teams prefer 10 I go with it but I prefer 9 over 10

I can design Dunkerque.

I dont know if I can start. But probably good to give an answer anyway. 21h and 22h both ok for me.

Would prefer 19 (1) or 20 (2) if both not possible then 21 (3) - 18 and 22 would mean pretty sure no start for me what would suck

I'd like the Giro at 22+.

Can we have the Eroica race on the 28th instead of one day after the Giro?

Giro at 9 would be nice (better than 10), but I'm not sure whether I can ride it.

For me as the designer of the races-series Monday 27th is ok. (I'm a bit surprised because Taka said the series sucks and now he'd like to have his own date?)

riding a random fantasy race after the giro and putting a race that is in an actual series in the game the day after is better for participation.

Did I say the series sucks? @bombe. Can't remember.I like gravel races a lot. I don't think of your races the same way I think of you.

And not like it's your own tracks so stop bragging about it

I don't really care about your rants ... and whether you think at all or what you think about me ... rsf is not about you alone ...

But the real Eroica Montalcino is 26th - so now its 27th in rsf near the real date - because of the Giro.
Also better to have it on 27th because after 28th are 2 Kat. 2 races and Montalcino is around 200km if I remember right.
So I prefer (and thats what Gip seemed too) like it is in calender.

Last Giro stage is a short flat stage anyway.

Stage: Denain - Huy

could we get this fantasy race ( on the 3rd maybe?)

it was requested as offseason classic because its a great race but denied because its in europe.

but the possibilty to ride it in mai again was offered maybe we can do that this year?

I would prefer 15 for the giro

From my side, there is nothing against riding it
