IS only give 3-2-1 seconds in rsf i think.

That's true! I forgot. I'll change it then.

Dommage que ça soit orienté grimpeurs.
La seconde étape avec des 4-5% aurait été pas mal.
La 4ème est trop puissante mais bon ^^

Hello Dickson!

I now ruthlessly criticize your tours.

Nigeria: Like it, nothing to complain. So it's horrible, what's the point of making a tour if the Donkey can't complain? Fooled you, I can complain: Put the name of the Tour in the stage title! If I check my glorious palmarès in 2039, and I see: stage 1: a-b... blah, what tour was that?
Rwanda: Good too. But, and this counts for Nigeria too, would be nice if you could post some information about the important percentages. Plus, how many riders per team. And tour name in stage title!
Ethiopia: Ok too, but lots of info missing. How steep is that overly steep climb on stage 2? Dirt road.... *`? **?`***? What is it`? And has little chances to end up in the calendar this year, I'll try not to make it a pure Takalendar after all. And right now I have my eyes set on Nigeria and Rabat really. Same counts for Rwanda. And have I mentioned the tour name that should be in the stage title yet?
Kabylie: This one has little chance to ever land in the calendar (as long as I'm the one having to choose at least) Too climber heavy, without seeing the percentages (you write classics have chances, tell us the %!) seems a climbers tour. And I like tours that offer things for more different type of riders. But good, you already listened to my complaint about the name of the tour! It's in the title!
Rabat: Very nice, fits very well parallel to the Andes. Not chosen right now because ìn no particular order: a) Andrha Pradesh was proposed before I relooked at all your tours. b) Témara.. no accent i nthe title, it makes the finance table buggy. So change that!
Manila: Interesting, but hm, 2 seem clear for climbers, then one for superclassics, a TT and a nominal sprint, somehow seems all a bit hard, incl. the sprint, the peloton will be full of classics, chances to be siebed and left behind on the Taytay hills seem big. Yes, a 1 day race or in a tour with 2 other sprints it's a sprint, but here not sure at all, but ok, hill sprinters then. This one has chances to come in of course, but as RfM said, seems just somehow too hard to have the right balance.

Nigeria, fixed. Moved timetrial to stage5 to keep the GC fight active (Since I couldn't find the old TT stage file anyway)

Rwanda fixed.

Ethiopia removed.

Kabylie, best tour, of course, added info. But getting reworked. Removing TT and adding 3 flat stages...

Rabat, Temara fixed.

Manila...The TTT could decide the GC at the end, but stages could be very climber friendly indeed

All tours are 8 riders per team btw.

[Robyklebt]

No need to "remove" (what does it mean) and redesign, maybe one day Ethiopia would fit well.... and if it's never ridden it's just never ridden, no need for removals...

[cataracs]

No, that was like a test or something. Or I was too tired when posting that. But I have no idea where these roads are, couldn't find any file on the computer.

Stage2: Short stage, 140km only. Begins hilly the first 30km, but then all flat to the end, with some 3%'s and 4%'s. Sould be a mass sprint finish.
Last10km: -2 4 0 -3 -1 0 3 0 0 0



Stage3: Final day for sprinters to fight for their stuff, should be easy MS again.



Stage4: HC. But the climbs aren't actually hard, so for classics?
Boukhelifa: 5 4 3 2 5 2 4 6 2 7 0 6 1 6 4
Barbacha: 4 7 4 5 4 7 3 2 5 2 0 7 7 7 5 -1 -3 0 -5 3 3 3 4 5 3 4 5 2 2

3 Days Tour in Nevada.

1st day, two time-trials. a prologue, then a 35km long, flat team time-trial.





Day 2, we go from Carson City to Menden. with a hilly first part, but then a flatish end. (RKL 2012 type of races if I remember right)

First hills not very hard, just a few 5-6%. However Mount Rose in the middle of the race is 10km long and very steep: 4 5 4 14 15 7 8 12 5 3 5 6
South Camp Peak is 50km before the finish: 8 1 3 5 2 7 5 Thendownhill and flat, but a 3 3 4 passage in the last 10km of the race.


Final day, we go back to Carson City from Menden.

The end is slightly harder this time, with steep two final hills.
Geiger Grade: 7 8 14 10 5
Bain Sppring: 6 8 12 9 13
and only 30km left after that.

5 Stages, 4 days.

Etape1a:(half stage) Hilly. 64km.

Mont Damous: 5 7 11 5 6 6 5 5 3
After the climb there are 10km of downhill and 20km of flat left. Classics/Hilly sprinters, maybe if enough sprint teams they could comeback aswell?

Etape1b:(half stage) ITT. 29km.

Flat and simple. Could be too long for riders without reg.

Etape2: High Mountain. 214km.

Long race with 8 categorized climbs.
Ain Romana: 8 5 8 7 6 5 4 8 2 10 10 5
Final Climb: 7 0 8 10 8 12 10 13 12 11 9 4 0 -2 9 7
Climbers for the stage, Climbers with tt/Classics wit tt for the GC, most likely.

Etape3: Flat. 147km

Should be mass sprint this time.
The hill in Kolea is 4% max. There's a 6% 15km before the finish but shouldn't be enough for classics. Maybe if enough hilly sprinters teams they can win.

Etape4: Flat. 135km

Short hill in the middle of the race: 3 2 3 6 11
But then more than 50km of flat left, so sprint most likely.
