Also tasks and responsibilities need to be listed and accepted in advance. Good point. Added them above. Only my point of view of course. People could interpret the job differently. I am also curious about the current situation regarding Schappy and the Fantasy Race planning. Has he officially resi...

Hello everyone, Good news in my private life, but unfortunately it means I will no longer have enough time to fulfill my role as Calendar Planner properly (which some of you have noticed already). I am going to finish the 2026 season (all real races done) but after many years, it will be time to han...

I have started working on the design for the "Tour of the Netherlands" (RvN). The race will feature teams of six riders, so I have adjusted the setup accordingly. The prologue is already included, but for the stages, I need to be patient and wait for the GPX files. Hi Hoefs - just wondering what's ...

Then i think it will be 7 😉 but why + 1 rider? This is my understanding of the history: - When the game started, Grand Tours were 9 riders per team. - For a variety of reasons, in real life, it was reduced to 8 riders per team. - The game dynamics stayed exactly the same. - To keep the equilibrium ...

21 h is okay for me, but too often early evening is used for a lower level tour. It would be nice to mix it up a little more. It could be morning, afternoon or late night as well. 22 h or later is a problem for people starting the day early. As predicted it gets the evening spot and the world tour ...

We don’t ride EC?

Good point.

I think it is not very popular ingame with the National Teams and no limit on inscriptions... but it does not hurt either. So we can add them as an additional race, like we had last year.

28th already, so it was time for the Final PDF. - Guangxi 10-18-22 / Netherlands 15-20 - A few other changes --> For Eneco... Do you wanna call it Netherlands, or what do we call it? Basically at some stage BeNeLux tour was called Eneco; but now BeNeLux Tour is called Renewi and so they came up with...

Noting I have seen the Eneco-Thread.

Open for discussion how to split between Guangxi / Eneco. 3 / 1 sounds reasonable but could be different and I'm not sure about times. Any suggestions welcome.

Highly dubious Agerola climb with a tunnel towards the top. If anyone has more precise percentages, let me know.

UCI in their endless creativity rides the same race twice within two weeks. At least with different teams.

Something is wrong with the WC selection positions, the order is pretty wild. Falcor from Div 4 picking 13th RfM not even in Top 20 while being Div 1 Place 2?

Ok that needs checking

--> Looks better now?

Britain, less important than Benelux.
Participation Benelux was not impressive in morning&afternoon, so only one of those will be enough. Evening was ok and evening has its edition. So I expect 2 editions is enough.

All races available ingame.

If you have time over the weekend, pls feel free to design

Final PDF online. Quite a few additions: GP Industria & Artigianato Gran Premio del Lazio Giro di Campania Cro Race Tour de Langkawi Div 6 only races Hope I didnt forget anything (otherwise shout) Hope it's not too much (apart from 5x Vuelta already being too much). Will start adding the races ingame.

After conversation with Alk, all looks set for Option C) Moving Cro and Langkawi by 1 day from their real date. To be clear. This is an exception to move real races given the technical limitations. (WC parallel races and inscription restrictions not 100% ready.) Now one problem left: How many editio...

Limitation for riders participating in Cro/Langkawi unlikely to be implemented within one month, so:

Pick your poison:

A) No stage race for 3 weeks
B) Some Superstar potentially riding/winning Cro/Langkawi and World Championships on same day
C) Moving Cro and Langkawi by 1 day from their real date.

I'm leaning towards adding Cro/Langkawi as beginning of October will have a clear one day race focus. And the one day overlap actually helps one day race participation. But I see the problem with the unrealistic WC, as normally the best riders will be focussed on that instead of going to some cat2/3...

Ok I will publish later today, even if no additional Info from ASO comes online.

That's the problem. Rulebook 2025 has stage types: 1 Etapas sin dificultad (In-game: Flat) 2 Etapas con recorrido accidentado (In-game: Hilly) 3 Etapas con recorrido muy accidentado (In-game: Hilly) 4 Etapas con dificultad (In-game: Mountain) 5 Etapas de gran dificultad (In-game: Mountain) 6 Etapas ...

Still looking for the 2026 equivalent to this rulebook...
