It was also attract the adrenaline and hard core pros with a point to prove to themselves and others. And if it is to be international surely it needs a catchy English name (the mandarin name would just be for domestic consumption and riders from mandarin speaking foreign nations like China only anyway.Ben Gorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215358295386075741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-83829345956943756352012-02-29T20:25:08.727-08:002012-02-29T20:25:08.727-08:00Thanks Hans!

I am sure not all these roads are doable and I understand some safety issues with falling debris, but I really think it could be executed as safe as any Giro d'Italia. If done right it could even be used as a training race for the Giro and Tour. If held in early May, about the same time as the Tour of California, then it might be perfect for attracting A-Squads rather than the B-Teams.NONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312011183953017842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-16996947850432510722012-02-29T19:47:37.468-08:002012-02-29T19:47:37.468-08:00Incredible input Drew, thanks a lot.

It's too late to change anything for this year now, but we'll see what kind of noise we could create on the media, and maybe push for a better route next year. With the way Taiwan is catching sports fever like influenza, we should seize the opportunity well. Like I replied to MT, as long as we can make it to TV and talk show, the buzz will be there.Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073275169438559834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-82710421073677771022012-02-29T18:59:00.605-08:002012-02-29T18:59:00.605-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.NONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312011183953017842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-25797982287450654562012-02-29T02:00:05.609-08:002012-02-29T02:00:05.609-08:00Great ideas.

November is clearly the best month weather wise as it is usually still very warm and dry with nice cool air over the mountains.<br /><br />Sorry, but the Taichung route needs to include The Fence. It would define The Taiwan Tour (Triple T) internationally and gain infamous publicity for the Triple T (like the name?).<br /><br />Meh .. I'm not a cyclist so take with a pinch of salt.Ben Gorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215358295386075741noreply@blogger.com
