sector 16 from km 163 to 168: -1** -1** -2** 2** 0** -1**

My imagination is a route divided into approx. 5-6km long sectors with * and ** rsf to simulate the gravel and the power consumption during the race.

[schappy]

I Like the races and the presentation. Would love to ride this races. Series dont needed in my opinion. I never look at series.

[olmania]

Good effort in the design and presentation with all details

No idea how this could fit in the calendar, but having them planned all season long could be an idea. Unsure the challenge would make sense if that's not a big thing ?

[Gipfelstuermer]

I like the series, too. Those pictures are pretty cool and I remember riding in Tuscany with my road bike on such roads.

AAD and I have accepted Schartner's idea, and we will incorporate the races. As it's only 1 race per month, and we like to have at least 1-2 gravel/pave races each month anyway, it sounds realistic. Calling it a 'series' is mostly for the fun of it. World Tour, Winter World Tour, Eroica Series, etc... it's only for fun and glory anyway

Having said that, the races will only be Cat.1 and have low priority vs. real races of course. So we will just squeeze them in wherever we see fit and also the number of editions might be limited depending on the calendar.

Now, if we give a bit of extra glory to a series, some criticism on the profiles is also important and, at best, in a constructive way. What I can think of right now:
- Attention to detail is key for realistic profiles.
- Gravel being */** and never more than ** is a good start (it's the case as far as I can see)
- Detail of the climbs have been shared, but not for all profiles, maybe Schartner can add that
- Percentages of the climbs should potentially be double-checked. For example, Dürrensteinhütte, is there really a -4 ? Or is it some imprecise GPS or bridge/tunnel? Happens quite often that GPS is a bit imprecise.... So it is always a good idea to check at least one more source (Cyclingcols or quaeldich for example).

designs for the RSF-Leader Jersey. I would prefer Var2.
Its with RSF, because the banner is also with RSF. If we change the Banner to C4F i would change the Trikot.
