Which races should be in the World Tour?

[Michele]

Well, the difference was that people cared about it. Classics riders built their season around the goal of winning the World Cup. No rider goes into a season today even thinking about the overall World Tour ranking. It has no significance in todays peloton.

if the WT has to stay that large, then i would scale down some of the minor stage races (ToBeij, Tour of Poland, Eneco Tour) to 3-stage events a la Crit Int.. Also the 2 canadian races could be combined to one.
