I thought the main reason to have the current calendar is try to keep it closer to reality but since a lot of the races are fantasy there shouldn't be absurd to have a team of stage makers creating races ad-hoc for the MG.
It's not something that can be changed in one year to another but little by little the calendar could be changed to better fit in our made up world.
Russia was just one example but there are more interesting nations like Netherlands, Belgium or Germany that are quite under represented in terms of race days x rider.
Also, I don't intend to eliminate all the races from countries without (many) riders representation (UAE, Burundi, Guatemala) as these kind of situations also exist in the real live.
This is not to be applied mathematically on the calendar as there are multiple reasons for doing the calendar as it is now but I just thought it could be eye opening for some to have this info

While I believe it would be good to diversify races a bit more it is important that we keep the "historic" races. It's much more fun (imo) to race them than fantasy races.
I also think rider numbers for some nations are higher than realistic as SN has been adding riders to help teams from exotic nations, thus (without looking in depth on the statistics) making some numbers skewed

Can anybody point out some interesting cobbled races that have been made for PCM14?
Always useful to have some hard cobbled options to use as either classics or stages within stage races.

I think La Geant de Province and La Descent Pave are good options, but I remember seeing them somewhere in the Man-game, so I'm not sure about that.
Apart from that I can't find anything, but in my spare time I've been fiddling around with the stage maker and was making a cobbled race, I don't know, it might not be good enough for this, but I can post it here if you want.

Finishing off my PITS re-make this weekend. If you have an idea of an area/country i can whip up a couple of ideas to work on.

I'd quite like a harder Danish cobbled race. We had the Kobenhaven race this year, but I'd like to see more cobbles involved. Perhaps the race can go under the GP Herning name, since that used to be a MG cobbled race.

A Danish Cobbled Race would be even better at a Continental level.

Well, maybe it will be 
A Russian cobbled race would be good too. Edit: Russia sorted by Belgium

I've been thinking lately about the sets of training and some possibilities to add more variety.
Some special profiles for the main attributes to be able to give more fire to some rider in expenses of some secondary attributes. You could win one point of MO for example, but this will deduct one point in flat, hill, sprint, etc. It could be implemented just for the last year of training. You could choose between building a specialized rider or a more all rounded.
To give an example, Climber v1, from 4>M for pot 7:
Normal
| FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RE | RC | CO | SP | AC | FI | DH | PR | | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
Specialised
| FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RE | RC | CO | SP | AC | FI | DH | PR | | 0 | 3 | 1 | -1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -1 | -1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
This could be a way for the lower teams that it's almost impossible for them to go into training to create unique riders.

But in your example the only thing that is really affected is the HI and TT. Cobble and sprint are seldom interesting for climbers.
But I do get your point. I'm not a fan, but aknowledge the input.

Don't take the example but as you said, the point.
