Volta ao Alentejo for April?

[gaurain rx]

Gaurain will check LBL and Flêche Wallonne.

No (big) changes normally. So, if somebody wants to discuss the climb %age, just say it here, as I don't plan to change them!

Correction : There are changes in the Flêche Wallonne, not in LBL according to Rtbf

pais vasco seems to be the same like last year

[Pokemon Club]

How it will be for Amstel finish ? Like for WM ?

[Robyklebt]

pais vasco seems to be the same like last year

Only if you look at last years profiles
Similar for sure, but not the same!

The article, not on top "etapas". That is the stages from 2012. So La Lejana whatever that is, mountain top arrival on day 3, Arrate on day 4

oh, okay, sry.

RKL starts Pais Vasco

If somebody wants to join, feel free... just write which stages you really want to do So we don't do the same work.



stage 1, a 6 in the last GPM. Pretty fast work compared to my usual pace, so no guarantees on accuracy, didn't do any checks on altimetrias.net etc. this time.



2x 6 in the last hill. This time found out that on the profile you can see the profile of the climbs... but didn't always follow it.... last hill for example....
Finished for today (and tomorrow, back designing on wednesday)... as I said, if somebody else feels an irresistible urge to design Pais Vasco, go for it!

So my opinion for stage 1 like I said you ountains looks flatten :

Alto de Asensio : Actually 4 6 5 6 5 2 0 5 maybe better something like 2 4 5 9 7 3 0 4
Alto de irizar : 4 6 4 4 3 -> 7 4 5 4 2
Alto de Endoia : 11 12 5 3 -> 9 12 11 3 (3.5 km, don't know exactly for the last)
Alto Azurki : 7 5 11 11 7 4 -> 6 8 12 9 6 4 (the same 5.5km, so not sure for the 4%)
Alto de Kalbario : 1 2 2 8 8 -> 2 2 5 9 10 (4.4 km)
Alto de San Miguel : 3 5 4 6 3 -> 5 6 4 6 6

I will try to draw 1 or 2 stage today, surely 4 and 6 so if you feel you has finally an amazing form you can pass them for the moment ^^

Infos update for LBL. Big change this year, no Roche aux Faucons apparently cause the road is closed due to "work" on it (I will check it with my eyes tomorrow morning, verify the info). So, big change in the draw. they actually don't know what will be the solution but it shoul be less steep than this climb!

One contingency plan would see the race instead take in the Côte de Tilff, but it is understood that director Jean-François Pescheux has reservations about bringing the riders over a narrow temporary bridge across the River Ourthe.

Another alternative is to tackle the Côte du Sart Tilman, which last featured in 2007, but the road will be blocked on April 21 due to a horse show taking place near the summit of the climb. “It’s like that every spring because our organisation needs a lot of people and trucks,” a member of the horse show organisation told La Dernière Heure. “We need room for them, and nobody brought it our attention that the date of our event coincided with the passage of the race.”

Liège-Bastogne-Liège is thus likely to climb the Côte de Colonster [2.9km at 5.5%], although it would have to approach the climb via a sharp hairpin bend. An ASO delegation will assess the possible finale on Wednesday.

“Roche-aux-Faucons and Tilff are out of bounds, we will doubtless have to climb to Colonster,” said ASO’s Jean-Michel Monin. “In all likelihood we’ll have to descend via Seraing to get back to the Côte de Saint-Nicolas.”

and another sentence for the Fleche:

Flèche Wallonne will also have some modifications to its originally planned course, as some towns are unwilling to bear the costs of providing police to marshal the route. “We’ve had to change the first sixty kilometres, we’ll go more or less in a straight line from Binche to Huy, but all of the planned climbs will stay on the parcours,” said Monin.

Stage 2 and 3 aren't finish, but the race site doesn't work and I can't finish them for the moment, put them just to have an idea of the profil

[lesossies]

Romandie should look like this :

Who else wanted to design it ?
Maybe it can help.

[lesossies]

I decided to program Alentejo from 08.04-12.04. between PR and Amstel.
I´m not sure we get Castilla y Leon designed.

There is no more news for LBL?

Brabant only cat 1? was a cat 4 race the years before

[Alkworld]

Brabant only cat 1? was a cat 4 race the years before

Definitely a little mistake It's also still 1.HC, so cat 4 should be right.

[Rockstar Inc]

and according to the new race they got a new finish? true?
http://www.debrabantsepijl.be/en/elite-men/race/track
just aksing because the race-profile at the homepage is quiet different to the profile we have here...and last years race at RSF was also a lot harder

Ok, did the circuit at the end now with t4b (careful with 1st km which looks buggy, uploaded to http://tracks4bikers.com/tracks/show/133080)
If I do it km by km and applying some common sense, I'll get the following for a 23km circuit in Overijse
-1 -4 4 0 0 -2 2 -1 -3 0 -1 0 5 1 -5 1 -1 1 1 4 -4 -1 4

It's actually not that different from the one in the calendar, but the finish is certainly a lot different.

Edit: km22 may contain a little pave, but it certainly looks extremely harmless and is only for a few hundred meters.

why is klasika primavera only for div 6-7? that's not fair, it is a real race & no fantasy, and why shouldnt be there an opportunity to paris-roubaix?
