    I am going to have to redo my diagram...

    Some absolutely honking races in the WT from next year
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    10 I gather.

    Some really very very dull races there. Oman, ToC, Turkey...

    I'm particularly looking forward to the Rund um den Finanzplatz
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Strade Bianche is a welcome addition.

    The CEGORR has potential to be a decent early season one-dayer after the TDU.

    (that's not to say it should be World Tour!)

    I think the prospect of being involved in a coup will entice others.

    Maybe that would stop complaining about boring racing?

    Yes they have to race at each of the old ones from next year, which is why a lot are unhappy. 30 men and 32 races does seem a big ask.

    The new additions will only need 10 WT teams. How this is to work is unclear
    Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy
