Here is Gaurain's voting.

Stage 1 : C
Stage 2 : A
Stage 3 : B

First explanation... This 3 stages choice to have a good fight for stage and then Gk between the hugelsprints team and the sprintteams... Think it can make the race really funny!

Stage 4 : A (A default choice).
Stage 5 : B (not sure at all, if for escapers, then it's good)
Stage 6 : C (one time trial is enough)
Stage 7 : B (I really like it's design)
Stage 8 : B (should be something for the escaper)
Stage 9 : A (three hard days then, maybe better to keep the teams fresh)
Stage 10 : B

Stage 11 : B
Stage 12 : C

Forced choice here. Choosing the TTT after the hill stage wouldn't be that good cause I think nobody will want to open the fire too much if there is a TTT the next day! So, better to have a TT. There the leaders with the best reg will have a real advantage. so stage B better than A for stage 11 cause harder one and maybe there the team can make the difference. If you put stage 12 before stage 11 I would have choose D for 12!

I am sorry i have to tell that, but i have to conclude: experiment failed. In my eyes the chosen tour is much to hard, and no time trail in it is not that good either. You should think of taking a look to determine another winner: The proposed tour that has the most stages in common with the voted one wins.

I agree, maybe it would have been better to modulate the result with the number of each kind of stages you wanted, and keep for example the 2 most rated TT, 2 or 3 most rated HC etc...

I like the result.
Not all the stage are as hard as they look, if they is only on 5% in the last hill for example...

He's right, this tour is not so hard. Sur 2 very hard stages, but looks Ok.
Then, no ITT or TTT, I'm a bit surprise about that, but it's because everybody voted for different ITT or TTT proposed, so all o them had some votes, but not enough to win their day.
And a tour, without ITT or TTT is not a problem I think, there are so many tours for TT guys, and sometimes the GT's are open for TT guys, so that's not a big problem. And if a lot of managers did their votes without ITT/TTT or with only one ITT/TTT, it means that they don't want it ...

And the final tour is interesting because there are 3-4stages Really Open ! Really !

I think Cerro is right. With only 2 full and two half sprint stages you will maybe have less sprinter teams in your tour.

5stages are possible for massiv sprints if you have not a guy like callado with a strong team in your group !
5/12, not so bad.

1 and 5 for sure.
6 maybe, but should be hard if there is only one good hill sprinter team.
12 maybe, but i'm not convinced, because there is no flat after the 5.
Where is the fifth?

Callado!!!

If you dont like the tour then dont vote it. Mine is maybe not much better for sprinters? We will see if enough people like it or not?

Stage 2 (possible with a fresh and strong team)
Stage 3

Pah, and then you want me to critizice your tour? Pff, I say everybody should just say what they think! Zentaron thinks not enough sprint, no problem with saying it.

Now going to criticize Tours!

2? I think not.
3? Only with at least 3 good sprint teams which take a classic rider in their line-up and share the work at the long climb. And against only one good hill sprinter team they are chanceless.

But okay, i add another half stage. So i am at 3,5 sprint stages. Sounds better.^^
And yes, i don't have to vote the tour if i don't want. I would have only noted, that i think like Cerro, that the tour at whole became too hard at all.
And some sprinter teams never endamage a tour. I really would like to ride your tour, because i appreciate your work. And i like challenges, but with few help my goal (and every tour my goal is the same - achieving the points jersey ) seems far far away.
Just my two pennies worth.
