Btw. why don't you launch a contest for the pavé tour?

And not at me to launch a compet or not

OK, I lied, and launch the contest as FL ask me finally .
For the rules don't know exactly yet, I guess FL will adapt it or correct me anyway :
- 5 days tours
- cobbles each days
- real roads

I guess we have 2 weeks to draw, 1 week to vote ? Or maybe no vote ? Well FL will decide, for the moment enjoy drawing and propose your tour !

Thumbs up

Going to participate if you confirm

- there will be a vote?

Deadline sunday 23/09 seems OK to have 5-6 days vote. I guess. And all can participate of course.

bah lets start posting



Easy first stage. A stage to attract some sprinters so not a lot of cobbles, and not hard. The first GPM is here to have some actions with an escape too. And IS are just after cobbles sectors, maybe some GK guys will be interest by that.



Second stage and second chance for sprinters. But will be harder than the day before with more cobbles sectors during the race.



The hilly stage, finish just after Kruisberg. The first big battles between hilly classics and flat cobbles riders.



Small stage between the decisive battle. But this stage can be a trap. 100 km only, Kemmelberg at 55km of the finish and Mont Cassel x3 in the final



The final battle, 33 cobbles sectors in 178, the stronger will win

All stages are cobbles flat, 3 IS by stage

Making sure there is something to vote, here comes the Italian version

Stage 1 goes into Pompeii with pavé riders being clear favos, but the Campinola hill might create some action here.


Stage 2 visits famous Via Appia Antica, but more than 210km make it difficult to control, so a pavé superstar win is not safe. The hill to Lago Albano is only +5, but still a good opportunity to attack.


Stage 3 has less pavé in the beautiful region of Umbria, but the cities of Orvieto, Assisi and Perugia provide some cobbles, especially the finish will be exciting uphill to Perugia old town with +6 +7 +6 +1 +2*** +3*** -1*


Stage 4 features some famous sectors of Strade Bianche, but allows for a sprint finish.


Stage 5 brings the peloton up to Colle delle Finestre but with a 100km decent to Torino old town. Hopefully a nice last stage with a lot of action. before and after the mountains.

If I was pave tour contest dictator, which I'm not, I'd disqualify the Gipfel-tour.

As I am not a dictator I won't disqualfy Gipfel

I'll asphalt all downhill cobbles road in my tour as not sure that won't bug the race.
Anyway seems it is Gip vs me only. I'll launch the vote tonight
