Re: Olmania Production
Races in Nigeria :
Flat race, with possible sieb only in categorized climbs. But almost no real flat part on that race, very often between 2/4% and -2/-4% :
Easy race for sprinter, if no sieb on the 12% on the 3cat :
No real sieb there (only a few 5% far from the line), but one dirt road section * to tire the teams :

A short tour in Eastern Malaysia.
4 days, 5 stages.
Starting with an easy half flat stage. Only one sieb km in the kom :
Second half stage is very short, and hilly with 3 short steep climbs, tow of them being close to the end :
Second stage is hilly with a tricky finish, two very steep kms at 6 and 2kms from the end, probably enough to climbers against classics :
Third stage is a rather short and slightly hilly ITT :
Fourth and last stage is long and brings us back to Kuching on flat roads :
4 days, 5 stages.

Re: Olmania Production
Another short tour, 3 days, 4 stages.
In Bay of Plenty region in New Zealand :
First stage is a hilly circuit just at the outskirts of the main city :
Second stage is for sprinters, even if the first half has some hilly roads :
We start the last day of racing with an ITT, slightly hilly at the beginning and then all flat :
We finish the tour with a hilly stage. So steep at the end that climbers could make it :

Re: Olmania Production
Races in Vietnam.
Flat race, not so easy for sprinters with a few climbs mid-race with possible sieb. And a last 5% in the last categorized climb not far from the line :
Easier circuit here even if there's also a 5% in the hill, and a bit of dirt road :
2 hills early on in the race where sprinters could loose contact. Then all flatish to come back :
A hilly race with a flatish end that could profit to hill sprinters :

Re: Olmania Production
Tanzania !
Flat race because just a few sieb kms, but not so many 0% parts :
Easy flat race, 7 riders :
MS possible there, but a few hills on the way with 6%, and a 5% close to the end. 3/-1/2 finish :
2 ridiculous steep climbs/downhills at the beginning and then more or less flat; with a 2% finish :
2 serious climb in that hilly race; but the last downhill might make the difference at some point, it's long steep and technical :

Re: Olmania Production
A short tour in Western Jamaica.
One easy stage for sprinters to start, then a difficult second day with a short hilly stage and a difficult ITT.
Straight after the ITT comes the king's stage where reg will probably be important and gaps will be made in the difficult final climb.
Last stage is more open, between a breakaway, sprinters, hillsprinters and fit offensive riders in the final circuit.
A couple of races in south east Turkey, that could be ridden three days in a row f.e :
A sprinter's race in Jordan, where the hilly first half of the race could create some trouble for pure sprinters teams :

Re: Olmania Production
3 races in Angola
That one is hilly, with a steep climb @km121, followed by a shorter and less steep one. Then there is a flatish part that should give a chance to hillsprinters against offensive classics. 8 riders
That "flat" race is mainly downhill, with a few 5% (even a 6% on the 4cat) mid race before and during the long downhill. Finish on a 0%, for a MS ? 8 riders
That "flat" race is mainly uphill. The 2cat (5kms @7.8%) will probably make a selection and some sprinters might never come back. Then, it's still a bit hilly and harder to sieb even if plenty of 4-5%. Strong and organised sprinter teams can achieve a MS. 9 riders

Re: Olmania Production
Races in Cameroon/Tchad now :
Flat race with only one km of sieb (7%) in the 3cat (with a few 5% after it). Also, in case it rains, the two downhills are steep enough for a dh sieb. Race is short, only 7 riders. Sprinters could have issues but a MS is highly possible.
Hilly race along the nigerian border with plenty of short steep hills/downhills. Finish on +2%; 8 riders.
A long race starting, crossing and ending in a national Park. The hills at the start and mid race have brutal steep %. But the last km >6% is at km136; will it be enough for sprinters to have a chance ? 9 riders.
A quite long and flatish ITT for specialists. A few hills in the end, but nothing steeper than 4%.
A really easy race for sprinters team. Only a 6% in the catgorized climb. The possible very high temperature could still make that race quite demanding for the riders. 8 riders.

Re: Olmania Production
2 races in Erythrea, with lots of downhill.
The real downhill ends about 40kms before the finish line. It gives a long way for sprinter teams to organize a MS.
The real downhill brings the riders to the finish line (-1%). And that long downhill is a beautiful and technical road (go check filfil road online !).
Before that, a few siebs are possible; but nothing impossible to overcome for most sprinters !

Re: Olmania Production
Races in Indonesia :
A hilly race with a hard final circuit. Steep climbs, especially the cat2 (9-12-12-12) ! Climbers could even have their chance there !
Hilly race in 3 parts. First : lots of downhill with a few climbs, sometimes a bit steep. Second : a long valley. Third : a few short hills with sieb and a +2 finish.
Mountain race where strong classic riders could have their chance 7 riders only
A hilly circuit 8 times. Tiring for sprinters, a better chance for classic riders with a sprint ability or a strong offensive rider

Hilly race with a steep and difficult climb about 50kms from the finish line. 8 riders.
Flatish race in the South of the island. 5% max. 7 riders.

Re: Olmania Production
A few races in Argentina :
Hilly race, even if there are almost no hard sieb kms. Plenty of 5%, a 7% on the last kom. 5/4/-4 for the last 3kms.
A flat race with a two KOM with siebs early in the race. Then a long gravel * section. a few 5% near the finish line to spice the things.
Pure flat race with only a 5% (KOM). Last 3kms are -5/1/2

Re: Olmania Production
A few races on Trinindad island :
A flatish 7kms circuit, all good for sprinters :
A hilly race, where sprinters who can handle the 5/5 of the last climb could eventually make it; if no serious sieb eliminated them earlier in the race :
A hilly circuit, with a 5% in each lap. Probably an open race

Re: Olmania Production
And now races in Ecuador ! But not in high altitude !
5 laps of 40kms, for a long hilly circuit. 6/7/8 at the top of the climb.
A flat race, where pure sprinters could be quite far behind after the first hills. Will they come back during the second half of the race, and at what cost ?
And a flatish ITT for specialists :

Re: Olmania Production
Races in Venezuela :
Flat race in the North East, only sieb is in the first 10kms of the race :
Two laps of 10kms, ridden many times. never truly flat, but only a 5% every 10kms. Sprinters could make it
A quite flat race as the hills are far from the finish line, but only 7 riders/team could make it harder for sprinter teams, and their trains !
A hilly race, where climbers could have their word to say with 7/7 with 3kms to go.

Re: Olmania Production
A few races in South USA, should be soon ok for the calendar, weather wise :
Easy flat race for sprinters. Only a few hills, really early in the race :
Another flat race, pure sprinters might like it, but 7 riders only :
A (light) hilly race in eastern Oklahoma :
A harder hilly race in Arkansas/Oklahoma, with a few steep climbs, and an atypical finish on a scenic 'skyline' road on the crest of the mountain. 7 riders :
