Current plan is Monday, 15 Sep.

More info to follow. I hope to find the time to write a longer Forum post.

Tour de Luxembourg (the koms are not categorised yet on the website so not finished yet)

Hi TDM - KOMs still not categorized I fear? We need some local connections to the Andy Schleck organizers...

Anyway, I noticed for the last stage: I think it is exactly the same stage as 2024? So good news, KOMs should be the same, too. And most important the final circuit should also be the same. Pobeierbierg (800m @9.2% according to LFR and from my local experience it is steeeeep). You have +5 +2. Tukh last year had +7 -1, which I think is a better reflection. +7 0 is also an option, I think.

Shortcut for you, if you dont want to re-analyze every road: We can simply re-cycle last year's stage, without re-designing

Yesterday they weren’t. I’ll look again today.

That is a good option

It is Friday. Race starts on Wednesday. But I am travelling on the weekend, so it might be I cannot upload it before Monday,....

Shall I publish today with all Cat. 4 (except stage 5 where we know the cat.3s from last year) ? It won't be too far from reality, as they typically only have two categories. They call it HC/1 but ingame we call it 3/4 I believe.

Or risk it and wait until Monday?

I am ok with letting them cat 4. It’s very risky with the time and the climbs aren’t hard. Not sure what the community thinks though

That opinion doesn't matter TDM: you and Gip are in the lead for us to be able to ride this Tour. My thanks to you both.

I can design Cro Race....after i get a sign to start it...

[Gipfelstuermer]

TDM said in the October thread, that he will design it.

If that's still the case, you can split up the work together.

[Hoefs Cycling Team]

Tnx Gip...i fogot that...TDM do you still design Cro Race?
