I can design Basque and tour of the Alps already.
Also Romandie if details are online when I have time.

Will check the french one day races (except Roubaix)

I could also take over one of those tours if needed

[ECS Cycling]

I can also do the Tour of the Alps/Giro d'Abbruzzo

Camembert : same as last year, remove the first 6 kms to have the good amount of kms (as this year, there are the details about where the real start is)

Vitré : should be the same; no reason that they change the circuits.

Besançon : no details yet, but the last key 4kms should be the same. so, old profile can be added in preview; if they change the circuit before, I will design it, but the end should remain the same as past years.

Jura : no details yet, but same as Besançon, only info available, last kms should be similar. can be put into the preview with last year profile as of now.

Doubs : might be different, info will be available on the 25th, I will check that then.

Not much to complain about the calendar this month. Maybe we can ride the Volta NXT classic two days later on the 7th. Apart from that, I am fine with no parallel tours to monuments and Basque. So for once I will not argue for additional tours.

Motto "Nicht geschimpft ist Lob genug."

Volta NXT (stupid name change) can be added of course.

Motto "Nicht geschimpft ist Lob genug."

Sorry, you should have seen me grinning while writing it. I know I can be annoying from time to time, so thanks for all the work everybody does to make the race calendar possible.

[Gipfelstuermer]

Change in sectors 27-23:

Out:
Vielsy à Briastre
Capelle-sur-Ecaillon à Le Buat
Rue du Tapage

In:
Artres à Famars (+, 1200 m) >>> becomes -1*
Querenaing à Artres (++, 1200 m) >>> becomes -1**
Verchain-Maugré à Querenaing (+++, 2000 m) >>> becomes 0*** 1***
Saint-Python (++, 1500 m) >>> becomes 2** 2**

Open for discussion. Last 22 sectors remain the same.

[ECS Cycling]

Tour of the Alps is done:

Tour of the Alps is done:

Could you please check if circuit for stage 2 is correct? Telves di Sopra is different the 2nd time

Fixed

[Gipfelstuermer]

Minimal changes to circuit, same difficulties, grrr.

New finale in Amstel 2025, with Cauberg returning.

Last 5km become: -4 -3 +6 +1 -1 - with the last three kilometers identical with the Cauberg section in the middle of race.

Up for discussion as that Cauberg sieb changes the nature of the race quite a bit (as it might in real life, too).

[Bugatti]

The start times for the morning look quite good. It was also confirmed today at the 8h race that 8h suits many teams well.

Black-Star(08:05): 8h is a nice time
RV Allagen(08:05): Und der Klassiker halt, dass immer 2-3 Teams mit 9 oder 10 Uhr als Start rechnen und off sind
Alkworld(08:03): bisschen zu früh für mich ... überlappt mit der Schule
RV Allagen(08:03): 8 Uhr ist super
Dreizehn(08:01): Ja 8 Uhr ist top
SouthWest Packers(07:59): Hi
Bugatti(07:59): 8 Uhr ungewöhnlich, aber gute Zeit, gerne öfter

[Gipfelstuermer]

No controversies, so Final PDF is there.

Tiny changes:

- Volta Limburg Classic added. It used to be parallel to GP Indurain, but postponing it because it makes Itzulia parallel programme more interesting and it was a pain to design, so would be a shame if there were only two editions
- Will try 8h and 10h once in parallel, but actually I noticed there are only few opportunities for this, because it only makes sense on weekdays without parallel races.

[Gipfelstuermer]

New first loop... grrr.... 56km instead of 52km, no change otherwise.



Same as last two years.


Tomorrow I will publish all real races until 13th April, unless there are any objections. Mostly to put pressure on r TAKA to plan more fantasy races

[Robyklebt]

Btw, I'm not too happy with the early final PDF, if it says 25th or around 25th then sometimes people might wait a bit longer for their comments. NOt the case this month for me, but could have been.

[Gipfelstuermer]

Early or late final PDF... never ideal... but I don't always have time every day, so can't promise being online every 25th and so will need to live with both things (early/late) happening... that's why it says ingame:

Final PDF (available around ~25th of previous month)

[olmania]

[Robyklebt]

Done. New start as usual, the final circuit the same as 2023, so just copied that. Mintact km 168 of 205, Mur de Huy passage.

Hope didn't forget anything...

[olmania]

Update :
Besançon classic is exactly the same as past year; old profile can be uploaded.
Tour du Jura has the exact same finish, but the loop before is a little different. I will redesign it if time. But old profile can be published as of now (for forms purpose), as the loop change won't affect the race favorites and spirit.
