Re: Re:
Well we're not saying it has to be 250+ long. Imo the best would be around 220 kms. Nothing crazy.Valv.Piti said:Eshnar said:In 2014 and 2015 the race was exactly 200 kms long. Only this year was shorter.Valv.Piti said:Why are you guys so obsessed with making the race longer? I know its the general consensus among nearly everyone in here (especially in the race design thread and if you are opposing such things, you are in for a bad time...), but it has probably been the best one day race the last 3 year, managing that with under 200 km. I don't really see the need to make it longer. However, as you point out, the race was a little bit too neutralised after Monte S. Maria, but at least we got one of the best finals I can remember in some time.
Oh, I thought it was just under 200 kms, not that it makes any difference really. But sure if it goes WT, the length will probably be reverted to 200 or above, but I think this race is a good example that a classic can be extremely hard AND super entertaining not going Flanders/Roubaix-mode if the route is hard enough
