I hope next year we can add this race and the Coppa Sabatini to the race calendar. Both races have been run for more than 60 years, the start lists are usually very similar and not too different from Milano Torino and Lombardia and they are pretty established in the cycling world. And who doesn't love races suited to climbers?

A really nice race. I volunteer to help get this and the Copa Sabatini on the game calendar next year. I guess I can get the teams, start list and help with the scoring. These are really nice races and I think they really belong on the Autumn classics competition.
What a show by Ulissi at the end of the season. I'll follow the GP Beghelli and post the results later. So many races that could be part of the end of the season!
No they can't, we can't run more than one race per day in the classic's.
You're right, of course. In this case, the Gran Premio Bruno Beghelli and Paris Tours were on the same day, but I wouldn't have expected you to choose the GP Beghelli over Paris Tours. I realize Paris Tours (1896) is way older than the GP Beghelli (1996). They, of course, appeal to very different types of riders.
What I mean is adding more than the 4 races that were put up this year... We could have had the Gran Premio Città di Peccioli - Coppa Sabatini (1952) and the Giro dell'Emilia (1909), and even though it isn't a classic, the Chrono Des Nations (1982), without the conflict of them being on the same day and, honestly, the start lists for many of these races are very similar, and, of course, I'd be so happy to get you the information you may need to fit them all in, if, in fact, all you need is the teams that are participating, the names of riders that will be starting, their birthdates, maybe a picture of their jersey and any other information you might tell me is necessary. The scoring would be easy to do, of course, so I'd be happy to help with that... Just would love to expand the end of the season a little and wouldn't mind helping out...
Yes, but its all about balance, the season has now ended in the game, apart from two stages left in Beijing.
Time to get working on 2014, lots of different things coming in
