Montreal and Almaty 21-23 is set up for atleast one of these races to have a near empty attendance (<=5).

Solution?

Don't think for Almaty(which isn't sure anyway, see the ??(but ok seems very likely)), 21-23 usually does well enough.
Montreal with 5x Vuelta, ? times GB... yeah... but solution? I fear Quebec and Montreal both risk small groups at all times.

Turns out the turn out for the day as a whole was bad but I was right in saying that the 23h would have a <=5 attendance. Prob should've said that abetter time would've been something like 9-14-18-22, but part of that is said with hindsight.

Actually the turn out of 23h was the best of the day after 21, morning and afternoon were horrible.

Did you allready find the file for china, and when will this come online?

Jef Scheerens... 186km, Loop was 14,4km, I made 14 and added 4km at the start.

No cobbles this year (I mean, I never found cobbles checking the whole circuit with streetview). Criticizable of course!

It's a sprinters' race anyway, so I don't think that no cobbles are a thing .

Did you allready found it?

[Robyklebt]

If I say yes, do you plan to design it?

Doing Tour of China II

Taking the tracks from la Flamme rouge, even if on some stages they are next to the road. (the typical china/google problem, for security they have everything a few hundreds meter off, long live paranoia)
Redid stage 1, made an own track, looked like there it might make a difference, since their track at one point is nowhere near a road... unless it's a new one that is on now maps.
For the rest everybody that expects accuracy will be disappointed. Spent the absolute minimum time possible on this (well no, redid stage 1, but don't think it increased accuracy at all

[Robyklebt]

Missing in September:

Isbergues: A bit different than the version we have.
Gooikse Pijl: I suspect Feiting doing it?
World Championship: Luques says he wants it double checked.
Almaty: Stage 2 looks the same, stage 1 on the other hand doesn't.

[olmania]

I do Isbergues if that can help

[gaurain rx]

I'm on Gooikse Pijl yeah... Just wonder how to cateogirze the dirtroads! (or mudroads)

[olmania]

Not 100% accurate in distance because I get 3 more kms. But with all the circuits it's not easy to cut it well. it's the best I can do with a "fast" design.The spirit of the race is intact I guess, a few short climbs, and a flatish technical circuit at the end.

[Robyklebt]

Thanks.

Put online, but changed the name. Not having exactly the same name creates problem with the palmares according to Luques.
And put 8 riders, despite it being designed for 7, real races cat 2-3, 8 riders was the consensus or Luques decision (one of the 2, don't remember which one) at the start of the seasn.

[luques]

As for the WC, I don't have any problem to put it online also as it is, but without looking with the editor seems to me that the main hill is costantly changing his %, some laps are more steep, some others less.



In any case if nothing is changed on the weekend is up.

So Gooikse Pijl... Dirt Road from km 9.6 till 12.3... I did it 10 --> 12 rsf wise... so, it's at the moment : 0*/0***/2** ... Not sure it's so good cause it might also depends of the weather! Streetview images were taken on a rainy day and the road looks really muddy... If you wanna check. I'm also totally open for every km ** !

Famennes- Ardennes

[Robyklebt]

Almaty 1 done

20 km longer than they say, but the parcours they post is 29 km long.... and 7 laps? So??
Stage 2 seems the same as last year, will see if I find time to check about the early part over the weekend, normally should, the laps are different each time...on on Sun/Mon then.

[Robyklebt]

Redone, now the laps should be ok with altitude.
Was in a nice mood, so to avoid mass depressions and lots of crying I made short mintacts, 22 km for U24, and just under 30 for the road race.




TTs
As usual with TTs mintact from km 1 (If making it shorter helps, I don't care, would care a bit for the road races (even if not sure I'll even ride) because I think there it's in the right place.

[Robyklebt]

Almaty on, used the stage 2 from last year, which isn't perfect but after all it's the same stage, so if it was ok in 17 it is in 18
