I think it's about time we did. Hopefully the Tour of Britain will join that list one day. One of the Flanders races could make way.

I don't agree with the upgrading of Middle Eastern tours. This is driven only by the money that can be extracted fromm Arab governments. Considering recent events in Turkey I'm surprised that event was upgraded. What about the safety and security of riders and teams?
