Hi,

Considering the lack of designers and the need of races, let's try to design some races.

AGF Tour, originally more stages with 2 hilly ones but considering i don't have maps anymore for the two last stages... I decided to cut it.




(let's click on it in order to see profiles)

Named agfetape.1 / agfetape.2 etc.
8 riders, 1 ITT, 4 flat stages, 1 cobble one, quite easy tour.

GP Palaiseau

156 kms, circuit from km 26 to the end (26km each, 5x) , a lot of ups and downs around Polytechnique and Palaiseau.

File : cel.gpx (under Poke's name)
148 kms, the start is in Champs-Elysées, quite easy during the first half then go to the west of Paris around Vexin's area.
Some sieb kms around the road. Fight between sprinters and classics.

172 kms in the Seine-et-Marne, which is located in the east of Paris.
First 135 kms are really flat, starting from Melun (close to the Seine) then moving to the north of the department until going to Torcy/Lagny where we will see nautics sports during Paris 2024.
After that, going on the south east until Crécy then pushing to Meaux (which is the second biggest city after Melun in Seine-et-Marne). In Meaux, starting to the train station close to the river : La Marne. (and you know why the department is call like that )

Siebable km : 134 (6%) and maybe 167 (5%).

File name : mqv (under Poke's files)

108 kms around Meaux (27*4 laps). 6 riders, no siebable kms but 5% close to the end with downhill kms to finish the lap. Weak sprinters will not make the cut, classics with downhill could win it while going back to the town.

Name of the file : gpmeaux.c4f

Very hilly TTT, 43 kms with 7 riders, probably for a climber team who wants to train his team before Vuelta.

File's name : tttardeche.c4f

Name file : fontainebleau_montereau.c4f

122 kms around the south of Seine-et-Marne and Yonne, fight between hill sprinters, pure sprinters and maybe classics. Last km : 3%



146kms, 2 laps of 73 kms. Easy MS normally except if the block is weak on last 15 kms.

Name file : montereau_melun_montereau

213 kms : middle mountain stage, especially with a lot of siebable kms.

Name file : paris_rouen.c4f

GP Spa, 112 kms, 16 laps of 7 kms into the famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit. No siebable kms (max 5%) but extremely difficult for pure sprinters to take it.

Circuit's profile : -2 / 5 / 1 / -7 /-2 / 2 / 3

name : spa_fr



Same circuit but ITT version. Only 4 laps.

name : spa_fr_ITT

TTT around Dinan, 20 kms, pretty short so.

name : ttt_dinan




A1 Ring a.k.a the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg (Austria). 25 laps of 4 kms each.

Circuit is : 6 / -3 / -1 / -2.

a 80-70 or a very strong classic (both with dh) can win it.

4 countries, 205 kms, last 6% just before Belgium's border. Hard race, a lot of 5%, probably for a hill sprinter with a big team or a classic who will escape on last 5%.

name : gp_benelux.c4f

GP Sud Paris, 162 kms in the south of Paris, as usual along the Essonne's area (and a little bit of Hauts-de-Seine for first 8 kms)

Little circuit of 20 kms in the end, max 5%. Fight between 60hill/80sp and pure sprinters.

Name : gp_sud_paris.c4f

100 kms, some hilly kms around the way, 3-4-3 on last 8 kms.

GP around Brest , 128 kms, some sieb kms during the first half of the races, a lot of ups and downs. Could be an open race.

124 kms in Mangaia which belongs to Cook Islands.

Some steep hills in this island. For classics. 7 riders/team, only a big flat part in the middle and in the end of the race.
