Races in Nigeria :
Flat race, with possible sieb only in categorized climbs. But almost no real flat part on that race, very often between 2/4% and -2/-4% :
Easy race for sprinter, if no sieb on the 12% on the 3cat :
No real sieb there (only a few 5% far from the line), but one dirt road section * to tire the teams :

A short tour in Eastern Malaysia.
4 days, 5 stages.
Starting with an easy half flat stage. Only one sieb km in the kom :
Second half stage is very short, and hilly with 3 short steep climbs, tow of them being close to the end :
Second stage is hilly with a tricky finish, two very steep kms at 6 and 2kms from the end, probably enough to climbers against classics :
Third stage is a rather short and slightly hilly ITT :
Fourth and last stage is long and brings us back to Kuching on flat roads :

Another short tour, 3 days, 4 stages.
In Bay of Plenty region in New Zealand :
First stage is a hilly circuit just at the outskirts of the main city :
Second stage is for sprinters, even if the first half has some hilly roads :
We start the last day of racing with an ITT, slightly hilly at the beginning and then all flat :
We finish the tour with a hilly stage. So steep at the end that climbers could make it :

Races in Vietnam.
Flat race, not so easy for sprinters with a few climbs mid-race with possible sieb. And a last 5% in the last categorized climb not far from the line :
Easier circuit here even if there's also a 5% in the hill, and a bit of dirt road :
2 hills early on in the race where sprinters could loose contact. Then all flatish to come back :
A hilly race with a flatish end that could profit to hill sprinters :

Tanzania !
Flat race because just a few sieb kms, but not so many 0% parts :
Easy flat race, 7 riders :
MS possible there, but a few hills on the way with 6%, and a 5% close to the end. 3/-1/2 finish :
2 ridiculous steep climbs/downhills at the beginning and then more or less flat; with a 2% finish :
2 serious climb in that hilly race; but the last downhill might make the difference at some point, it's long steep and technical :

3 races in Angola
That one is hilly, with a steep climb @km121, followed by a shorter and less steep one. Then there is a flatish part that should give a chance to hillsprinters against offensive classics. 8 riders
That "flat" race is mainly downhill, with a few 5% (even a 6% on the 4cat) mid race before and during the long downhill. Finish on a 0%, for a MS ? 8 riders
That "flat" race is mainly uphill. The 2cat (5kms @7.8%) will probably make a selection and some sprinters might never come back. Then, it's still a bit hilly and harder to sieb even if plenty of 4-5%. Strong and organised sprinter teams can achieve a MS. 9 riders

Races in Cameroon/Tchad now :
Flat race with only one km of sieb (7%) in the 3cat (with a few 5% after it). Also, in case it rains, the two downhills are steep enough for a dh sieb. Race is short, only 7 riders. Sprinters could have issues but a MS is highly possible.
Hilly race along the nigerian border with plenty of short steep hills/downhills. Finish on +2%; 8 riders.
A long race starting, crossing and ending in a national Park. The hills at the start and mid race have brutal steep %. But the last km >6% is at km136; will it be enough for sprinters to have a chance ? 9 riders.
A quite long and flatish ITT for specialists. A few hills in the end, but nothing steeper than 4%.
A really easy race for sprinters team. Only a 6% in the catgorized climb. The possible very high temperature could still make that race quite demanding for the riders. 8 riders.

2 races in Erythrea, with lots of downhill.
The real downhill ends about 40kms before the finish line. It gives a long way for sprinter teams to organize a MS.
The real downhill brings the riders to the finish line (-1%). And that long downhill is a beautiful and technical road (go check filfil road online !).
Before that, a few siebs are possible; but nothing impossible to overcome for most sprinters !

Races in Indonesia :
A hilly race with a hard final circuit. Steep climbs, especially the cat2 (9-12-12-12) ! Climbers could even have their chance there !
Hilly race in 3 parts. First : lots of downhill with a few climbs, sometimes a bit steep. Second : a long valley. Third : a few short hills with sieb and a +2 finish.
Mountain race where strong classic riders could have their chance
7 riders only
A hilly circuit 8 times. Tiring for sprinters, a better chance for classic riders with a sprint ability or a strong offensive rider

A few races in Argentina :
Hilly race, even if there are almost no hard sieb kms. Plenty of 5%, a 7% on the last kom. 5/4/-4 for the last 3kms.
A flat race with a two KOM with siebs early in the race. Then a long gravel * section. a few 5% near the finish line to spice the things.
Pure flat race with only a 5% (KOM). Last 3kms are -5/1/2

A few races in North East Brazil :
A few hills in the first part, and then a circuit with a 5% :
Hilly race, with a few steep climbs :
Flat race, with a few siebs in the first half of the race (and a bigger climb) :

A few races on Trinindad island :
A flatish 7kms circuit, all good for sprinters :
A hilly race, where sprinters who can handle the 5/5 of the last climb could eventually make it; if no serious sieb eliminated them earlier in the race :
A hilly circuit, with a 5% in each lap. Probably an open race

And now races in Ecuador ! But not in high altitude !
5 laps of 40kms, for a long hilly circuit. 6/7/8 at the top of the climb.
A flat race, where pure sprinters could be quite far behind after the first hills. Will they come back during the second half of the race, and at what cost ?
And a flatish ITT for specialists :

Races in Venezuela :
Flat race in the North East, only sieb is in the first 10kms of the race :
Two laps of 10kms, ridden many times. never truly flat, but only a 5% every 10kms. Sprinters could make it
A quite flat race as the hills are far from the finish line, but only 7 riders/team could make it harder for sprinter teams, and their trains !
A hilly race, where climbers could have their word to say with 7/7 with 3kms to go.

A few races in South USA, should be soon ok for the calendar, weather wise :
Easy flat race for sprinters. Only a few hills, really early in the race :
Another flat race, pure sprinters might like it, but 7 riders only :
A (light) hilly race in eastern Oklahoma :
A harder hilly race in Arkansas/Oklahoma, with a few steep climbs, and an atypical finish on a scenic 'skyline' road on the crest of the mountain. 7 riders :
