Stage 2, 3, 4 & 5 of Britain Tour are done.
Let me know if i need to chance the mountain classification .. i've put the same as they use actually. But maybe it's better to downgrade every mountains with -1 ?

I downgraded each cat by 1, same as in Denmark. Stage 1 also under review.

I agree. It seems strange not to have a morning edition..
And i can help u for design it if needed

I have stage 1 nearly done, maybe if you can start with stage 4+5 and we meet in the middle. I should be able to do it this weekend.

No 3rd edition for Britain? Several people asked for it, and given the low Vuelta participation, we definitely should have at least a 3rd (morning) edition.

I am voting B for this year and figure out a better solution in another discussion how to handle this for the next years.

+1 for this option - no time for further discussions right now unfortunately.

Bretagne Classic: https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/bretagne_classic_26.png As in the last years there are no IS and KOM. Status is "review". From my check, the last climb looks like a +7. The climb is 1.3 km at 5.3%, but the steepest km is certainly more than this. On LFR it says 6% for the 1...

If noone is alrdy doing it, I will do Tour of Britain -> I still would like to see more than 2 editions for it, same as for Benelux/Deutschland.

We can also see currently that the parallel tours like Benelux have lot of participation, so at least +1 edition in the morning would make sense.

Still looking for the 2026 equivalent to this rulebook... https://storage-aso.lequipe.fr/ASO/cycling_vue/12-lv25-reglamento-ingles-tecnico-v6.pdf If anyone has the info, please shout. Is there a new equivalent every year? If you click on their website under rules: https://www.lavuelta.es/en/the-rac...

For me, this is a long-standing issue, as I complained about Langkawi in the past. Langkawi has some strong teams, and riding outside Europe when possible would be nice. Now we have an additional issue with Cro Race. So my question would be if we could do WC in addition to normal races instead of r...

What is still missing for vuelta? Can we help for the last bits so we can publish?

I'm missing GP Ind. & Artigianato on 06.09. and Grand Prix de Wallonie on 16.09. and Tour de Langkawi from 27.09. to 04.10. Cro Race 22.9.-27.9. fits quite good in calender imo I'm also for it, cause it seems to be a staple in RSFs history. But it clashes with the WC - is there a solution to this?

Okok no problem, i have do the corrections.
Normaly all is good for Benelux and Norway Tour

Benelux last year looks very different in some stages, f.e. geraadsbergen, even though the stage is the same? I would prefer consistency to last year here? Why the huge change?

Unfortunately, this is one of the game’s limitations. How can we actually prove that there was real cooperation between them? I know it, you know it, we all know it, but it is impossible to prove. I will use the Giro as an example, a race I watched a lot to prepare for my own defeat in the 18H edit...

The FPC has reviewed the matter and reached decisions following lengthy discussions. It was a truly complex case involving various twists and turns, Discord and WhatsApp chat logs, and statements from the teams involved. The following penalties were issued: Ban: Pistacchio, Fallen of Albaz, Joga Bo...

I included the raw gpx for denmark tour, it is not yet fully designed, but maybe helps with formplanning a bit. Stage 1 is a bit tricky: the last 3x +6 climbs could also be +5 - keep that in mind. Tour will be designed later in July.. https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/tourofdenmark26_1.png htt...

Noch ein Nachtrag zu Czech und Norway Tour, beide sind gerade Cat. 2 ingame, in der PDF ist Norway Cat. 3. IRL sind beide Touren in der UCI ProSeries, Cat3 sollte es für beide dann schon sein..

I wish to avoid the problem we are having in July, after the 8/07 there are no tours for no one, and only tour is Lippe at h20:00. So in the end if we have survived july with no tours we will survive agoust with 3 parallel tours with no problems! I would avoid to cut portugal becouse is the only on...

Thanks Gip for opening the discussion, I expected this month will be lot of discussion, nice to see the participation. 1. Poland: Why is it Cat 3? In real world it has the same classification as Romandie, Suisse, P-N, T-A etc. which all are Cat 4s. And now its the same cat as Burgos which imo doesnt...

I completely agree with NML. A decision should be made soon as to whether this will be a Div 6-only tour. Since this isn't clear from the calendar (at least to me). I want to add here that I hope every opinion for calendar planning is valued the same, several people here already said they would be ...

1. I Like the idea to include Lippe Tour parallel to TDF for teams not able to ride TDF. And with it being cat 1 I think it would be okay. 2. I do see a point in offering races for rookies, but in my opinion with our current rookies we are beyond that point that this helps them much. Especially when...

Tour of Austria also done now: Worked with GPX from their Website / their link to https://ridewithgps .com/, also they have a detailed roadbook and images of the climbs on their page, but the detailed gpx on ridewithgps helps. https://cycling4freaks.de/img/profiles/tour_of_austria26_1.png https://cy...

Tour of Austria -> I would design it, if no one has started yet.

Lippe Tour - tbh I like it. People wont skip TdF for that, but those that cant ride it can have some fun there.

It only bothers me to have 1 edition and then at 20h though, but probably best like this.
