Seems like a step in the wrong direction.

I tend to think it is the right move. USA racing is about crits. Road Races are Euro/Pro things and those that really are into it should move to where it matters. There are so few Road Races, due to burdens on promoters, and the length/time they are more a "that's nice" kind of thing these days. "Real" road racing is hard to find in the USA. IT think they are done more for the love of the sport than points.
