Vuelta finished.
Maybe some Ol, Gip, Hansa critic possible?

I havent looked at any Vuelta profiles. Maybe i find some time on sunday.

A quick look from me now on the first part of the Vuelta (no time to check all % of climbs; mostly key parts and last kms) :
First of all, the lack of details of official website, makes it quite difficult. Also for flamme rouge, who made design mistakes because of that lack of info in the past few weeks (it's been corrected/updated as of now, but it's possible that updates will be needed later in August, before the Vuelta starts.

stage1, looks ok for me even if you have 2 more kms than the real distance (I don't know from where).
stage2, you lack 4kms maybe there ? but design looks good. Final climb : looks quite flatish, a few 6% here and there max. found different profiles online; hard to tell exactly where is 4-5-6%; but agree last km seems to be a bit steeper; but I'd say a 6%, not a 7%. not very important anyway; key thing is to have only orange km and a few 6%, that's it.
stage3 : official website says 135kms, flamme rouge and your design have 140. if flamme rouge is right, last km should be 5%
stage4 : some changes done here by the organizers; stage has to be longer with a different last 40kms. slighlty uphill on the finish line too (2-3% ?)
stage 5 : 20kms for flamme rouge, 24 for official website. here it makes a difference. a little bit of % in the last kms on official profile
stage6 : all good for the kms there !
stage7 : 1km missing maybe. profile looks good, last climb very irregular, could be checked km/km and have different interpretation as usual on such climb.
stage8 : maybe a few kms missing. last km could be a 0% maybe
stage 9 : looks ok, last kms could be reviewed if details available. looks like last km more flat, but a km before a bit steeper.
stage10 : might miss a few kms again. last climb with a flatish end, looks ok.

Thank you, will change some stuff quick

This post probably better off here.

Hi all,

I usually never post in calendar coördination since I have no involvement with it at all, but now I come to you with a bit of an odd request:

Would it be possible to add a TTT as a fantasy race before the Vuelta starts, ideally without overlap with Denmark or Pologne? This would be either 11/8, or anywhere between 18/8-22/8. I'm asking because a lot of new teams, including myself, have never ridden a TTT before and the one in the Vuelta scares me, since it looks like there's waaay more tactics involved compared to a regular TT... So a fantasy TTT would be a great practise for all the new teams, so they don't all lose several minutes in Vuelta .

Thank you in advance for taking this into consideration!

Thank you

I designed a TTT, if needed.

All stages at Denmark are signed as mountain. dont think thats right

It is, for making the points realistic

[TDM_Luxembourg]

You could classify all stages as "Mountain" to reflect that, but now it's bit of question of Taste, because the description of "Mountain" is not ideal for Denmark So either points or description will not be perfect^^ So you can decide.

yes, in order to have the points for the points jersey most realistic in combination with the intermediate sprint:I have designated all stages as mountain stages.
In real race, IT has no points for this jersey. In C4F it is now possible, because I cannot set the IT bonus to TTT: something for the administrators?
Then the points for the sprint jersey is the most realistic.

I think we should aim to get real points on small tours as well. Until we have it, I see no reason to change the race type to get closer to the real thing. Saying this, it is only realistic if we can add it to the editor. The solution for the GTs is certainly not feasible. When it was last discussed, there were some voices against it. So we need developer time as well as some kind of agreement for this.
