I tried the search function and couldnt find a thread dedicated to this, so here goes.
It seems that there will only be 6 rounds for the 2010 season, surely this is an odd move on behalf of the UCI?
I think the racers may enjoy a shorter season with less traveling but any mistakes will be much harder to make up for with less points on offer overall.
The only real plus point I can think of is that smaller teams will be able to get their riders to more events and have more of an opportunity to get experience at a higher level...
Anyone who depends on racing to make money is going to be pretty pissed off though I can imagine
What are your opinions? a good or bad move by the UCI?
