Had a look at Omloop & KBK participation. Omloop 10: 12 14: 14 18: 17 21: 20 KBK 11: 14 15: 16 19: 12+11 22: 17 Considering these are pave-heavy, not highest category races, so probably amongst the least popular of the classics, I conclude: We can afford a 5th edition for (most of) the classics on t...

And another small one:

It would be good to be nice to be able to push races from 'planned' back into 'draft'.

But maybe after all it is a firefox issue (just came to my mind), can you confirm that e.g. the 2026 Strade Bianche is working for you? And if so, how the header looks like for you? Tested it and it works (Edge). File is the same as you posted, but didn't have to adjust xml version and gpx creator....

Strade Bianche 2026 80% of the race as last year, some gravel streets not ridden this year. I took the same sectors as in last years edition except for Vidritta which is just partially ridden this year 2 instead of 4 km so I downgraded the two km to *. Comments/Feedback/Critizism welcome Thanks. He...

https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/laigueglia26.png They changed route, so found out that the old design was inconsistent with MSR ratings. Now the design has: Capo Mele 4 3 (MSR direction) Capo Berta 5 5 (MSR direction) Cipressa 5 4 6 5 2 (MSR direction) Capo Berta 3 4 4 (reverse direction) Ca...

Apart from the user friendliness mentioned by Roby, one feature that is really missing compared to the old editor is:

- Reverse Copy/Paste
- Reverse Circuit

It's very relevant for real races who do all sorts of crazy circuits...

So far it was also working fine for me.

Maybe you were unlucky and came across a corrupted file, but normally the LFR gpx files work for me.

Anyway, thanks for the solution in case the same happens to anyone else.

Does this also mean, that we could ride more than 1km on sectors with a lot of flat, straight, unchanging streets? So e.g. 3km as one sector? Probably not, attackers would gain too much time against a rolling group. From a technical perspective, it would be possible, but if it makes sense from game...

https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/drome23.png Same as last year https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/samyn26.png New circuits. Same pave classficiation. https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/umag26.png Different circuit compared to 2023. + Laigueglia made some changes. Let me know if you ar...

Lepelstraat 1 5 instead of Boembeek 5.

Otherwise identical with 2025.

PDF has an error. First day at PN shows different times

Thanks for flagging.

Would be a new concept to change the starting times from day to day

Based on this, I would suggest

P-N 14-20
T-A 10-18-22

Is that the final decision?

Yes. Confirmed with Final PDF now.

FYI, looks like Faun-Ardèche Classic will be ridden as cat.1 with profile from last year.

Since I still can't figure out how to do this I have to stick to my inferior method. Here are stages 4,5,7,8: You put: [img ]LINK[/img ] (without any blanks) With the link being: "https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/PROFILENAME.png" One additional question; stages 4 and 7 are labeled "Flat.

New difficulties compared to last year:
2x Eikenberg 6**
Tenbosse 5
Parikeberg 5

Not 100% sure about classification of those. Tenbosse could be 4 but was even 6 in the past in some races, so opted for 5.

Schappy, I would be surprised if FPC fines you for this, because the behavior has previously not been fined as far as I know. So in a way it is also 'OK' to do this.... The same is true for other teams who are trying to walk a fine line without directly insulting and trying to avoid fines. Meine per...

Just writing this down as I've been asked for it a few times: For each real race (or stage), announce here that you plan to design it, and then you start your Design process: How to design a profile in 10 Steps 1) Build the stage in a navigation app (e.g. ridewithgps.com ) based on the official race...

Ok, trying to summarize - T-A afternoon being most popular does not mean it needs to be repeated, i.e. rotation is seen as more important. - One edition P-N in 'working hours' - People disagree on what 'working hours' are - If you offer 2 parallel stage races, they might only be able to ride one of ...

So you are working hard on changing my mind. Very good. Of course possible to give P-N a working hour slot (morning or afternoon), but there are a few problems: - If we give it to the morning, it will end up exactly the same schedule as last year (Morning + Evening for P-N / Afternoon, Early Eve & L...

Le Samyn not included this year? Seems like a big enough race especially if a fantasy one day race is the only alternative... Punishment for calling it Ename Samyn Classic this year. Just joking. Will be added. Also not a fan of no P-N possibility for managers riding during working hours. Change my...

Very bad situation to post March preview before all February races are designed, but it was time for it. For the stage races, here's my logic: T-A more popular, hence 3 editions again. Last year 15-18-22. Consequently, 2 time slots get rotated out, 1 stays. Afternoon was most popular, so Afternoon s...

Almeria same as last year but the IS km101 instead of km122, tried but couldn't change it. Figueira same as last year but the climbs are cat 1&2 instead of cat 3&4. Thanks for checking the two. There are actually some other route changes in Figueira on a loop in the first 100km. That's why I hadn't...

15h and 22h looking good now. Fingers crossed calculations are correct
