Vuelta:
Naming: Is wrong. It's not "Stage 1: Torino - Reggia di Venaria > Novara"
The name of what stage race this is part of has to be in. The designer here still hasn't figured out that the name of the stage race has to be there? Please....
Mintact: Is horrible, Can someone tell me what the point of the 8 km mintact on stage 4 is? Why does anybody need mintact there? Nobody seems able to explain that, let's just put it there mindlessly.

Actually quite a bit is not really perfect at the Vuelta.
I think you should do a stage by stage review, including lengths and climbs...
Of course you might have gotten this feedback earlier if you had posted the designs in the forum.....

What exactly did you check here? Profile not even close to the real race.

Seems more than anyone else because I went on their Website to design it. But seems too early as they changed it later. Noone else checked. Noone else commented. Voila. Then no need to complain about fantasy race if noone cares until race day.

If its marked as checked its very unlikely someone else checks again espacially if its not asked by it for the designer.


The new route was announced on Mai 23rd on the official site btw:

If anyone sees such route announcement next time they can post it here to help the designer.

Renewi tour, quick review :

In the road book, there is a "CP Superflandien8" classification, with 2 each stage. it's a quite complex classfication; we could translate it to IS for more interesting things to happen in game; but would not be super accurate ofc. ignoring it is good as well.

stage 1 : there is a cobble section km61. I'd say ** according to street view. Green km, 3 sprints in a row, km 157.

stage 2 : green km with 3 IS is km153. almost 500 of D+ irl, only 150m in RSF. plenty of tiny climbs, not worth any sieb; but maybe a 2 or even a 3% here and there. 4 laps of circuits IRL, I see clearly on the graph only 2 in rsf.

stage 3 : final circuit could be a little more hilly. I am not an expert of the cobble climbs; but most of them already ridden in spring classics, right ? Are they all only * there ? Need a check or two about that. also maybe an opinion about a specialist of designing these climbs. green km with 3 IS km153.

stage 4 : half of d+ "missing in c4f". last km as a 3% is ok even if 2% also good. green km w 3 is km142

stage 5 : again lots of d+ "missing". climbs are very short, so it's 2-3% in tour final circuit. it would not shock me if there were some 4-5%. 3climbs in a row in final circuit, maybe 3% 4% and 2%; or even 4% 5% and 3%; cause IRL it's probably going to be a hard race there, for strong riders on small roads with lots of ups and down; and probably not an easy MS. km28, km57, km 87, km116, could be a 6%. green km missing km163.

As designed now, in RSF, it's 4 MS possible (quite easily). IRL, I guess it's going to be 2-3 (depending on the wind on stage one); and race pace on stage 4.

Green kms still missing. and maybe some changes, especially in the last stage circuit.
