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

Thx Schappy.

It's fixed now for 10h race.

Will try to fix it for 15h and 22h before the race already.

Enough reasons to cancel it. Once there are written unambiguous rules for World Championships provided, it can be re-considered. Ok, so the final pdf is not right, are there any more changes? Apologies for this, but the reasons only appeared on 28th January, when the Final PDF was already created. ...

https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/cadel_evans_25.png same as last year https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/trofeo_palma26.png new route this year https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/hulst26.png new circuit with lots of steep section, so I propose 2*** -2*** 4** -4 0. Hopefully makes for ...

Final PDF. 5 editions per stage race for me the absolute max in terms of participation. Even with 4x TDU only, almost all one day races parallel were with single digit number of participants. So 5 is the absolute max at the moment. Getting there for VCV, Oman, Besseges relatively easy, only affects ...

Came here to vote for Bogarin, but couldn't find him in the list, so voted for Zafzaf. Puts me in a nostalgic mood.

I always find it difficult to offer only one version of a tour. The majority of managers should have the opportunity to take part every tour. In an ideal world perhaps, but then we need 200 players instead of 100. Also in reality teams have obligations, too. World Tour teams have to ride World Tour...

Also don’t quite understand it for Besseges. Morning was requested and there was no Veto. Taka suggested 18 and the other two who requested Besseges did not specify which time, but I think OL often rides early evening, if I remember correctly. Also it's easy for people to switch between 18/20/22 th...

19 algarve 22 uae
22 algarve 19 uae
Both seem fine to me

Thanks for clarifying. I think then 19 algarve 22 uae would look good.

Let's speak about the tours again... Besseges was requested by many but you were unable to agree on a time. Normally, I should not include it then. But here is my proposal: Valenciana 10-22 Oman 15-20 Besseges 18 With UAE and Algarve it's also tricky. Have Hansa asking for 19 UAE and Let's Go asking...

The PDF said Alula Tour 10h, now its online 9h? Both TDU and Alula are 9h atm... that doesnt make sense. I think mixing in 10h makes sense.

Thanks for spotting this. It's corrected now.

Not for myself and Alk:

Got some info from Alk regarding World Championships: 1.) Performance improvements are required before next WC, e.g. by limiting the Refresh-Time for Spectators (or perhaps even for team managers). And potentially mechanism to limit number of sessions? 2.) For U24 WC some development is required to ...
