03/04 : Flèche d'émeraude, same profile than last year.

10/04 : Paris-Camembert, should be the same profile as well. Check this in 2 weeks just in case.

I know that's not the most famous race in April, but profiles are interesting. Not a bad tour without TT for 8 stages.
KOM and IS and not available yet. 4sprint days, 1 mountain stage, 3 Middle mountain stages.


Flat stage to start.

2nd flat stage.

King stage ! Summit is a dirty road (*) !

7/7/5 + downhill, climbers could be here again ...

-5 to finish. 5% few kms before. Probably some surprises ...

3% to finish, sieb possible few kms before

Flat

Flat, I remember 1 or 2 years ago they did a hilly and cobbled circuit in Instambul or somewhere else to finish this tour ... not this time !

Another "crap tour" but profiles were available, and if you want to make a low division tour in April, seems interesting !






The three first stages are really easy and short. So we could use 2 in 1 day, make them half stages (st2&3 should be good, short stages) => a 3 days tour.
Last stage is really hilly and interesting, that's the best part of this tour !
I added some KOM (too much in last stage ?) to make it interesting for red jersey. They used to ride this tour with 5riders/team, I changed it to 8 (I can change it again if it's needed).

even for a low-div tour i think inventing intermediates isn't so good at all...

but i guess it's a good idea to ride this tour in the lower divs

You're right, but
Actually that's not " 100% invented" because in the details they say there is a Climber jersey and they give details about the points given at the summits. But the places of the KOM are not specified ... that's why I decided to put it like this. But if they add the details later, I'll change it to make it 100% real. Seems ok explained like that ?

100% ok

5 riders per teams could be funny

hm why not just leave it as it is (no half stages) and cut the riders to 6 (or 7) ? This half stage races are always very confusion, especially for new managers.

Ok, why not ... but no risk of new teams buying 6riders, strong, only for this tour ?
Anyway, I'm waiting for leso opinion, and I change it if necessary (not even sure he wants it in the calendar )

No problem with that, new teams don't start with SM team bank account
And maybe let a 4 days tours is good

if i good remember, every team should be minimal 9 riders to inscript for a race,

Yeah this should be, dont know if its reality

It still is

Thanks, and is good so, very good!

Check Races and time !

Schelde cat 4 and on the wednesday.
Brabant is HC this year, could become cat 4 too. Looking at the winners list in the last year, I'd say give it 4 directly, but if you prefer 3, wait another year and see ok too.
Primavera parallel to Roubaix, not Appennino.
Amstel, Appennino and Tro bonbon are actually all on the 15th. Why not put 2 of them on the 15th? The third, one, ok, other day.

Tours, no 24h. Maybe not the one with the longest stages but why not give it a chance.
My beloved afternoon is a bit 14h "lastig"...
Not fully convinced of the 2 biggest tours, Pais Vasco and Romandie... IMO offer one of them at 24 and the other at 23. And no reason to have 10-18 double really. 10-15-18-21-24 and 9-14-17-20-23 seems more logical.. with the one with shorter stages getting the 24h thing... Ok, then nothing for 22h which is a popular time too... mmh... yes yes, whatever you do it's never right. But 10-18 double doesn't really convince me anyway.

Rund Um Köln 2012

I have excluded several intermediate Mountains and sprints

An other not major tour, but profiles are interesting !
I think I did some mistakes in the first stage (but it does not change the race spirit) and probably in the circuit in other stages due to the lack of details. But this should be ok.

29/04
In // to the main race, you could put this one :


ps: the ape: Romandie for you ?
ps2 : leso : I guess you don't want the Borneo Tour ? Enough crap tours for april ?

I demand Classic-Race-Design-Ban for Aux. Why? Mostly because of "milanosanremo" in our Palmares. Even "Red Mountain" or "Rund um den Misthaufen" looks better. Actually EVERYTHING looks better. MSR is the only thing in my Palmares, where we have no capital letters or space between words. So, as small "punishment" dont allow him to design "rondevanvlaanderen", "amstelgoldrace", etc, etc...
These are only a few races...so no big thing.
Encore, i dont really trust Aux' designs and the mintact at MSR was horrible too.

Right. Absolutely right. And wasn't he the guy who always complained about races had different names as in the years before?
I don't see that his MSR is linked to the palmares of the past few years.

So I hope PR , RVV and the rest later on are for the ape and Gaurain.
