I have a little time now, so I started PN as routes are already available :

[ECS Cycling]

I started Strade Bianche as well, up for review.

[Gipfelstuermer]

I started Strade Bianche as well, up for review.

Good effortand good for practicing, but any changes to 2024? Thought the route is unchanged this time?

[ECS Cycling]

I think it's a couple km's shorter. 113 instead of 115.

[cataracs]

That's not Strade Bianche!

[team fl]

What is it then?

Looks very much like this year's Strade Bianche to me...

You see with your eyes!

[Radunion]

A badly designed Strade Bianche is still a Strade Bianche. You can make suggestions yourself out refer the designer to somebody with experience in dirt roads. Misleading comments do not help.

My misleading comment helps realizing there's a "mistake". Your useless comments don't help at all, you can go back to sleep.

Looking at the maps there seem to be 2 places where the route is different from 2024 (without guarantee, I just found 2)

1) km 16, take a shorter way, but more gravel. 3.5 shorter after.
2) From Ponte d'Arbia to Monteroni d'Arbia. New gravel sector, before it was following the main road. A bit longer than the old route, so the difference then is 1.7 km but probably taken in a different place, after that the difference becomes 2.1 and stays like that till the end.

Easier to take the 2024 version, cut km 16 to x design and add the new kms there, cut km 101 to 112 design and add the new version there.
If we want consistency with 24 that's the easiest way.
If not, the ECS version would need some rethinking/correction, Le Tolfe at -2, when according to la flamme rouge it's 600 meters at 8.6%.

Early wish for a morning Tirreno edition.

[Elaska]

Early wish for a morning Tirreno edition.

And a 20h

[Let's Go]

Early wish for a morning Tirreno edition.

[ATB - Racing]

evening! 21h or 22!!!!!

There is a reason why the calendar manager should open up this topic with a calendar draft. Come on guys wait at least for a preview to start the discussion on times.

[Radunion]

I have written a small script that parses the UCI calendar into a csv file. Maybe somebody will find the results useful and perhaps I think about a more pleasing presentation in the future. For now, it sorts all races on a day by UCI category (tour before one day if same cat). We have to cut a few tours from the calendar but it should be a nice first overview of what could be ridden and will get nicer if I invest some more work into it.

GPM/IS need to be adjusted later if needed.
st5 will need to be checked too; quite unsure about the final circuit with the two key climbs.
st6 too as info differs a bit.

I know everyone is waiting for the preview. I promise it will be done in the next 4 working days. Not ideal but I simply had some busy days at work. I will keep you posted.

I do not expect much discussion which races we should ride, so I should be fine. For discussions about number of editions and times there is enough time.

And then what?

[flockmastoR]

And then what?

Then you have a table of the Radu export. Don't get me wrong, I am not telling this to help you, but others might really be interested to view the data in a readable way. My answer was for them.

[Radunion]

Okay for the visual types. Code to create this for other months (+ an improved table) would be available.
