• I think the race will definitely start in Geraardsbergen again. They've got a pretty good relationship with the town. It's also one of the easiest places in the entire world to get to with the Eurostar from Britain and 4 of the worlds biggest airports pretty close by (Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and London).

    I'm fairly sure the race won't finish in Turkey next year even though I think everyone enjoyed Cannakale but I think a similar beach resorty type town.

    The control cars drove back through Romania so I'm thinking Trans Alpina or the Transfagarsan or both. I remember Mike saying he wanted to include the latter.

    A Black Sea finish would be cool and with much of it being close to Bucharest it would be convenient to get out of. It also satisfies the transcontinental element.

    Personally I wouldn't want another southerly slog through France so a checkpoint somewhere a bit easterly like the Black Forest would be cool. Also having the first checkpoint close by keeps the racing interesting.

    I also wouldn't say no to one of the nice unpaved passes

    Geraadsbergen to Kitzbüheler Horn could be an nteresting parcours but longish first leg and might make the race a bit short?
