I continue on this page, so that everybody immediately sees at which stage I am working.

Hi clipper,

thanks for helping. On your problem: Perhaps you should use a clearer name. I use 2017vueltaXX, e.g. 2017vuelta01, 2017vuelta02, and so on. So your latest creation should be 2017vuelta04.

Some other notes:
- Please use the same name as I did: "La Vuelta 2017 - Et. X: Start - Finish"
- Please pay attention to the tab "last km" on the official Vuelta Website. That gives you the last 5km perfectly.
- Feel free to add a few more names of cities on the road (not too important but nice in a Grand Tours)

Regarding the stages: If you post your results immediately, you can always work on the next stage. Highly unlikely that we are working at the same time and even if, we have two versions to compare. It's not so hard anymore thanks to gpsies

Best,
Gipfel

Ok, the stage is the database
Thanks

I don't find it in the database, can you save it again please ?

Actually I think the 2017 in the title of races is superflous and not needed. Of course it's 2017, you'll see that in the palmares in the date column.

Thanks for the suggestion, Roby.

I think everything in the title of a GT race is superflous (cool word by the way). End of August, of course it's La Vuelta, of course it's 2017, of course it's the stage of that day, with the start and finish of that day. How do you name your races?

Anyways, I will think about it and maybe delete it for you.

[Robyklebt]

Same as you except for the year And no need to delete it if you already wrote it...

Normally, Bretagne Classic is in the Database
Can you check ?

[Gipfelstuermer]

It continues.





I do stage 7 until 10. Clipper does stage 11 until 14.

For stage 7, there is some cobbles in Alto del Castillo no ?

Actually, you are probably right if they cross Plaza Mayor - which they probably do.

Unfortunately, the roadbook and the map of La Vuelta are not detailed enough so I don't know the exact roads in the old town. But I could approximate a way and then guess how many stars * that should be. Probably only one star if I judge by Google Street View.

Question regarding the circuit in Madrid:

lavuelta.com suggests 0,0,0,0,0,0 but Google Maps suggests something more like 1,-1,3,-3,1,-1 (uphill to Plaza de Callao, then downhill). Any opinions here?

Also not sure how to draw it with a measured circuit of 5.6km (not 5km, not 6km). Any suggestions?

[Alkworld]

Same question like for Giro and Tour: Any reason against 9am? OK, different times offered over the year would be an argument, but again there is the central European lunch issue, which is not as bad as in Tour and Giro due to shorter stages, but it's still there.

@Gipfelstürmer: On the one hand, the altitude data in Central Madrid seems to be rather random. On GPSies, it looked like they took the building's altitudes sometimes. However, Central Madrid is also not completely flat and the road actually seems to climb towards Callao, so I'm not sure either. I'd say either option would be fine, although it may not be perfect.

Ok, thanks for the feedback:

In favor of 0,0,0,0,0,0
- Official lavuela.com profile and I sticked to that for all other stages
- Can ignore the 5.6 km circuit problem
- luques already uploaded the stages in-game
- Only very few stages for sprinters so keep this one at least

In favor of 1,-1,3,-3,-1,1
- Kinda believe this is true, also looking at Google Street View

Ok, I'll keep the 0,0,0,0,0,0 thing.
