Suggestion for the offseason calendar

[Gipfelstuermer]

I'm for pavés tour back to Monday 20thand Brescia on Sunday 26thlike usual? Chrono des nations and the Pavés tour should be ok parallel.

Yep, agree with that.

Also for October: Langkawi needs to go but Cro Race will be there. Taihu can also go as we can focus on the autumn classics there. If it means we add another small tour end of October, I am OK with that.

Nov/Dec/Jan looking good at first sight. Dec Tour one day too long I think?

I am also always in favor of more tours. You can also use tours from the Women's World Tour.

As it's difficult for some teams, including mine, at the weekend, could we push the larger fantasy tours so that there aren't too many days at the weekend?

E.g. Andes from the 6th not from the 8th and januartour from the 5th instead of the 3rd. For some smaller tours it would be easy to shift them to at least one day on the weekend.

Updated draft. r TAKA and Gipfelstuermer's suggestions included, Bugatti's not. In my opinion, there are enough tours in the offseason, esp. as there are not many high cat. one day races (little money, little points). No need to add more, the balance worked well in the past. And as far as I know, the Women's World Tour (which we don't simulate in this game), has offseason too, right? The weekend thing i didn't incorporate and leave it up to the calendar guys to figure out, if it's a valid argument or not.

Right, but I mean the womens giro or tour or something like that. Not a race that is on real date.
the gpx data from those races should be avaliable and maybe it don't take that much time to create them.

I guess that's something for another thread to discuss, like this one: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=10364

Thanks! Had it in mind when I did the first draft and then totally forgot about it

Maybe someone who's in favor of more tours could do an update of your file to propose a different version with more tours (and times balanced accordingly ofc) ? To see what it would look like and it brings some interest from the calendar planner and not only from some players interested in riding more tours.

I don't have time to do it this week, so if someone wants to, that'd be great (you can use previous remarks about tours and dates, also propose new adaptations ofc !)

Everybody feel free. There are no restrictions.

I just remembred the NC's should be in October, 31st is the day for them I suppose?

We also have Okinawa tour planned for late October, as it's the best time to visit the area.

What is Okinawa Tour? That real UCI 1.2 race, Tour de Okinawa, that is ridden in November in reality? Normally the real date then...

Okinawa: as seen in-game in the well hidden editor, it's a rather unfortunately named fantasy stage race by Tukh!

from the November 2023 thread

I think it was planned for Nov 2023, but then never ridden ?

[cataracs]

It's one of the oldest stage races in the databse. But didn't know it was based on a real race

Can it actually be considered fantasy now?

I guess it was fantasy from the beginning, and its existence aims to confuse us year in, year out

[Hansa]

In realitiy it was cancelled in 2024 was ridden in 2023 dste for 2025 hard to find as i dont speak japanese.

No relation to the real race. My race was really just unfortunately named, because I didn't realise the real race existed.

Fantasy Okinawa! In October, one Donkey down.

But those stages look fun to ride, will be an exciting tour.
