And I complain about having Sibiu when there shouldn't be any Sibiu!

[Tukhtahuaev]

Roadbook has about 3,5km more somewhere between 98 and 112, but I just don't see them.

[Robyklebt]

California, uhm, probably cat 4 too much, but guess he deserve something more than cat 3. A 3.5 probably.

I know I'm veeeeeeeeery late, but IMO no, it's not even a 3.5. 3.5 would be stuff that has been in the World Tour for a while, is fully in the world tour, all ProTour teams obliged to participate.
Down Under, Poland, Eneco. Those are sort of... ok, 4 might be ok? 3 too low? But even there as should be well known by now I'm opposed to it.... they simply have neither the history (at the highest level) nor the the strong participation of our traditional cat 4 tours. Paris Nice, Tirreno-Adriatico, Catalunya, Pais Vasco, Romandie, Dauphiné and Tour de Suisse.
California, Abu Dhabi, Turkey (if it will even be ridden) Qatar (was cancelled just after getting into this new WT category, probably just to show the world how much this new cat. is worth) and Guangxi? They might be 3.1 and not 3... but not 3.5!
Anyway, as I said in January, we should have done a classification in January/February to avoid stuff like this. Next year maybe.

It's not possible to add a tour between Austria and Sibiu?

A flat one if possible?

Between Austria and Sibiu there is one day...

[IDF]

Oula sorry

Between Sibiu and Wallonie * ^^

[CircleCycle]

Austria, not absolutely correct km-wise but very much in the spirit....

[RV Berlin Sued]

There is no Austria-Tour in the calendar. Is this correct. I thought it would start tomorrow

[Mangahn]

No one day race tomorrow? Do you recognize that not enough Teams will go for it? ;P

Greetings from nowhere

I'm back!

Who doesn't remember Wombats Tour 2009? Or the famous Yunnan Tour 2009 and La Pura Vida Tour 2011? Yes, the community did not recognize the potential of these December Tours. Still, they were close to being the best tours ever.

Anyways, I see some old faces and new faces. Let me know if you need somebody to create races, either real or fantasy. I'd enjoy to help a little bit.

Best,
Gipfel

Are we going to have Wallonie 2017? It starts on Saturday.

Poke is on it. But for example on Poland nobody is drawing it, if you have time/want.

[Gipfelstuermer]

Yes, sounds good. I can have a try.

I see that there have been some improvements to the C4F Stage Editor. Is the best practice using a GPX-file from Openrunner? Seems like a good option, because actually I was used to manually collecting every single km from Google Maps or Google Earth :D

And finally, are there any conventions on naming files, e.g. Pologne01, Pologne02 etc.?

Yes you can use open runner or gpsies as you prefer. It is really fast to draw. For the name just something that has sense, but please in case it is a Tour set the name of the Tour in the appropriate field, more easy to find later.

Here comes Tour de Pologne 2017.

General Remarks: No guarantee for correct spelling of polnish cities. These partial circuits in a track really suck (although the respective Stage Editor function is very helpful). And, I do not like the tour design too much. Stage 1-5 are really weird. 6 and 7 quite interesting.

Anyways, here are the results:






(Here I have 139 vs. the original 130 km. Weird, but stage spirit remains.


(Here I have 136 vs. original 132km because I have a 68km circuit and they have 66km.)

Any critics/suggestions/remarks? :-)

You guys have San Sebastian in your mind? I don't have the time or the skills to do it, but the profile has been online for quite a while now. It's almost the same than last year, but the climb at km 82 (Alkiza) seems to be added this year:

You also have more info about the route here:

Will try to keep the old design and add just those 10kms in the middle.
