A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE OUR LAST POST, ONLY A WEEK AGO Michael Redrocks wins our first ever green jersey in Romandie In what was supposed to be his last race, Michael convincingly won the green jersey. A first for the team and with that he achieved something that we were actually planning/hoping t...

Following the surprising announcement from Michael, of which the team wasn't aware at the time, we now announce our revamped and official lineup for the Real Giro: X1 Michael Redrocks 85 64 59 48 56 61.6 55 X2 Oscar Avalos 48 58 72 54 80 57.4 41 X3 Cesare Baddetti 50 86 80 48 51 75.5 54 X4 Dave Barl...

I'll give designers 1,440 mintacts to finalize their mintacts.

Having said that, every mintact length is allowed. If I wanted a 30km minimum, I could have coded that myself.

We are all done now and eagerly waiting until we're able to inscribe :p

Checking now, and already raging. Can somebody explain to me what the point of 10 km mintact is? No, nobody can. Because there is no sense at all in it. It's blind, stupid, idiotic, there is ZERO thinking behind it. But ok, humor me, try to explain why it makes sense. You won't be able to. Also 40 ...

I probably disagree with the mintact on most stages, but didn't bother checking, too often here the brain is not used to make the mintact, so fuck it. I'll happily complain during the race though. And I'll be there to offer soothing and calming music for you not to rage quit the Giro :) I'll be the...

Should be done now and ready to publish! With the asterisk being Hansa's message + the roadbook. Good. I changed it from 1B to HCC though ;) The B stands for Bonifications, while the HCC is an additional KOM category, which has different KOM points without changing the standard bonifications. Grr, ...

we still have no roadbook so for now we are sticking with last years classifications: stage 7 final climb set to 1B instead of 1 stage 9 final climb set to 1B instead of 1 stage 14 final climb set to 1B instead of 1 stage 16 final climb set to 1B instead of 1 stage 20 final climb set to 1B instead ...

After immense pressure from the press, the team conducted an extensive study (checked the starting list for the 2025 real life Giro) and has decided to change the order for our riders. I hope you're happy!

Why Harry P. and what is an Evanesco?

He earned the nickname Harry P. after he was the first one to defeat Voldemort in La Vuelta.
No clue what an Evanesco is either though...

Falcor with an embarrassing lineup. Is something like that even allowed at the Giro? Afternoon Giro. Seems better suited to some lesser time. The real Giro has class. That means..... compare the announced lineups of FL and Tukh to yours, what is different?

Their #2 riders are losers?

THE LAST DANCE OF MICHAEL REDROCKS After the team announced that Magnus Jensen and Luca Parri will be leading the Giro team, the rumours surrounding Michael Redrocks have gotten louder. The team can now confirm that, after long talks taking place earlier this week, Michael has decided to retire bef...

Finally the Real Giro thread is here! Falcor will start here too of course. Lineup isn't definitive yet, but it won't be until we see the field. Our provisional lineup includes: X1 Magnus Jensen Arguably the best classic of 2026 so far, Magnus starts the Giro after already having won Tirreno-Adriati...

Last stages from me. Any feedback for stages 1-9 is free to be sent in my direction. Once Tuk finishes stage 17 we should be done with Giro. I just do nasty spot checks :lol: Generally very happy with this crew, using the Giro resources fully it seems. Ultimi chilometri, dettaglio salite etc. Next ...

Hm, Again not much here, mostly Blockhaus climb important. Not climbed all the way to the top, gpx file pretty much matched the climbfinder profile, so generally didn't have to change much this stage. You have 2x 13 in there. Check "climb details" on the Giro site, no 13%. Cyclingcols very similar ...

MICHAEL REDROCKS MAKES IT 3 CLASSIC WINS IN 1 WEEK Crazy times for the team, as we go 3/3 in the last 3 classics, with Redrocks now adding La Fleche Wallone to his palmares. We entered the stage as co-favo. Redrocks with good legs, but Pelle Holmström (RC Hachen) seems to be an even bigger favorite...

Stages 5,6,7: https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/giro26stage5.png?0 Not much to add, last 6km looked very weird from the gpx, other designers and myself unanimously decided to change it to how it is now (6/3/-5/-2/0/2). https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/giro26stage6.png?0 First 141km not mu...
