April 2026 +1,743,889 8,264 points At the start of the month there were 4 clear goals, RVV, Scheldeprijs, Gran Camiño and Amstel, with RVV obviously being by far the most important one. We got off to an incredible start with Zhansultan Dosmagambetov crowning his spring campaign with the win at RVV....

Most likely also joining here though a few sitter days will be needed for sure. Lineup not entirely sure yet, but probably something like this: 1: Graziano Alborghetti Probably won't be able to win the team a third Maglia Rosa in a row, but will try his best to at least win the white jersey 2: Tlalo...

C4F completed now. Very interesting morning race with lots of action and I still don't quite understand why I won in the end. Bis SWP action like at Amstel, Karatay riding 35km of tempo, getting dropped by 15s on Roche aux Faucons, getting back because no one in front wants to ride. Then still wins ...

Stage 17 also done now

Stage 19: https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/giro2619.png?0 Stage 18: https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/giro2618.png?1777104085405 Climb is a little over 1km and since it is a little bit over 12% on average too decided on 13%. Final km at 0, even with -0.6% over the km. But the final about ...

Stage 20: https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/giro2620.png?1776960345842 Stage 21: https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/giro2621.png?1776942724107 Annoying finishing circuit with 8.5km length. Added a 0 after every 2nd lap to make up the extra distance. Final km on paper only a 1, but has a bit...

Romandie done now from my perspective. Stage 3 still a bit awkward, but imo the least bad solution now. Also points not exactly as in real life, but no way to do it correctly here. TT and the last 2 stages should give 30 points to the winner, the other stages 50

Updated Romandie a bit. Stage 1: Stays as it is Stage 2: Updated La Rasse and Ovronnaz according to LFR information, kept the final km as 1, but am now a bit unsure about 1 or 0 there Stage 3: Still stuck here a bit. The final climb is about 4km long, from the gpx I get something like 4.9%, 6.3%, 4....

Its from LFR, there are detailed informations per 0.5km with the GPX file. I checked for some other races and found that info the most precise (compared to redesign of the climb from top reversely) + the altitude info matches the official numbers mostly Prolog: yes interpretation, didn't check the ...

Too lazy to create the race now, but profiles for Romandie ready I few comments after a quick check: Prolog (stage 1): last km has 5.4% stage 2: laps look ok, but last km is 0 not 1 stage 3: Laps are fine, per km detailed finish (Vuillens) show 5.8-6.3-4.2 (you have 4-7-4-3), last km +1 looks ok, t...

A bit of a difficult topic. From my perspective as a spectator for both cases it was nice to see, because it promised a more exciting race for Strade and in Hansa's case could have done a lot of damage for what I see as a simple misclick.I much prefer to compete against the best teams with everyone ...

March 2026 +1,765,474 6,773 points Paris-Nice and lots of classics were on the radar for this month. Third at Strade Bianche from Oleksandr Piskun was a good start, especially without anyone really targeting the race. Paris-Nice started off very badly, but two stage wins in the second half of the t...

Maybe we should reassess Paterberg/Koppenberg for next year? For this year I don't think it would be good to change it since everyone already planned for them as they were the last years and it might significantly change how they play out

According to procyclingstats Giro C.M. di Reggio Calabria is cancelled. Will it be cut or are we using last year's version then?

I think only the new side of the Oude Kwaremont (4 3***) is new this year. All other hills already there last year, just in different order. As it was a rather quick design, I decided to not change any of the climbs

Yes. I think Paterberg is the same as last year's RVV and E3 like this

Faster than expected since most of the final part seems to be identical to last year. Feel free to point out any mistakes I may have made

If no one else does, I will try to design E3. Could probably have it done by tomorrow

FPC is investigating this case

I would also be in favor of more 14h classics. Especially if the race is very long

After 4 podiums in the past it is finally over. Artem Palamarchuk wins MSR in a sprint of a somewhat reduced group. Pretty uneventful race until Cipressa. There Palamarchuk 1s ahead of Schreyvogel. Thought I should just wait for him to do the end together, but somehow got tempted into trying without...
