Hi everybody, I'm back in races' creation.
I'll begin with a very conceptual little Tour, maybe too conceptual to take part on the calendar but I would be interested to know what you think about it. Particullary for the last stage.
So it's the "Tour des Hauts-de-Seine", taking place in the smallest French département. There are three stages, which should be catched by three different types of riders.

The first one, "Courbevoie-Nanterre', is a typical ITT prologue, 8 kms on an enough flat road.



Then, a stage for punchers, starting in Genevilliers in the north of the Hauts-de-Seine, going to the South until Châtenay, and returning to the north to the Mont Valérien where begins a short circuit.



As maybe you noticed, there is no bonification sprints, neither hill sprints. It's because all the primes are on the last stage, flat circuit around the "Parc de Sceaux" in Antony and Sceaux, where there is almost 2 minutes to win in the intermediate sprints at the end of each loop. So a good flat rider in the escape would have a chance to win if he didn't lose to much before.

Now a one-day race in the Mongolian part of Altaï mountains. The three climbings break the flat road through the steppe. The race never goes down under 1700 m.

Try to put the Alt max at 4000m ! and the last word on the profile km140 : we will see it at all.

Effectivement c'est mieux

Another one-day race, in the South of Thaïland, starting in mountain, but finishing with a long very flat trip in the region pf Nakhon Nayok.

A 5-days Tour (and then OK I'll try to make more simple classics ^^) in Crimée (Southern Ukraine).

First day, a tramp flat stage, between Yalta and Simferopol, made to be nervous with the short distance and the mountain on the first part.


Second day, a sprinter stage between Simferopol and Dzhankoy. 180 kms totally flat.


The third day is made of two semi-stages. One flat and short, probably for sprinters, and an ITT enough flat but with one km in 7%.



The day before the arrive, the queen stage, with this stage finishing in mountain, in Partyzans'k.


And the next stage, really hilly, to come to Sevastopol, which can tramp the leaders. Have to be careful.

To many sprints for the Stage 3 of the little Tour, that's too much money...

Tu parles des sprints de montagne ?

Please put the name of the tour into the stage profile (for example: "Krym: 1 Yalta - Simferopol", "Krym: 2 Simferopol - Dzhankoy", ...).

Nan le tour des hauts de seine


Ah mais j'avais pas pigé le coup des bonifs pour jouer le général, idée sympa en fait
Meme si c'est compliqué de sortir pour tous les prendre...

Ouais c'est pour permettre aux coureurs de plaine de pouvoir être leader d'un jour. C'est pour ça que j'ai mis aucune prime dans la deuxième étape et aucun classement des grimpeurs. C'est un genre de compensation.

沖縄のグランプリ
A short sprinter race in the largest of the Ryûkû Islands, in the Southest part of Japan.

Les 2 tours sont sympas.
Les "hauts de seine" est un peu extréme mais pourquoi pas le programmer ... en hiver peut être pour un peu de fun.

Crimée parfait. je le prends en considération pour octobre, sinon plus tard ...

Ravi que le Tour de Crimée te plaise, parce que je suis assez fier.
Hauts-de-Seine oui, je voulais essayer un nouveau concept. Si y a trop de primes tant pis, mais je voulais au moins montrer l'idée ^^

Another sprinter's race, in Bengladesh (not easy to find some hills there).
Even if the weather is hot, the race is short and the only 7% km far from the arrival (there is 6% closer), so probably hard to escape the final massive sprint.

The Grand Prix of Vladivostok. A 21 kms very hard circuit ran 8 times on the small roads around the city of Vladivostok.
Cold weather, damaged paths, hard climbs and hard downills. I thought about make 10 turns at the beginning (210 kms), but now, 8 seem enough (168 kms).

Now a 2-days race, the Week-End of Eastern Timor.

First, on the saturday, two semi-stages. A short flat and a hill ITT.

There is no pavé, I guess it's a graphical bug.


Then for the sunday, a hard high mountain stage.

The km2 of the ITT is 20% ???

No no, only 13%...

Short race in the Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. "El Sur del Mundo", a race starting in Telhuan (the 3rd city of the region with 2000 inhabitants) and goes to the capital, Ushuaia (60000 inhabitants) where there's a 24 kms circuit.

One difficulty in the middle of the race, but the hardest will probably be the cold weather, the wind and maybe the rain.

I know simple race in ITT are not very used, but I thought this one could be interesting. An ITT so, going to the South from the North of the Isle of Man.

Hard race in Eastern Uzbekistan, with high and very irregular cilmbings.
The race is short but I guess enough selective.

A 17 kms circuit in Barbados. Ten loops.

Another 5-days tour which could be used during the winter, the Tour of Kerala, in the South of India.


The first stage is a sprinter stage along the coast. Absolutely no difficulty, if nobody comes a sprinter, it could be a good opportunity for flat teammates.


The second stage is the beginning of action, with two climbs like middle mountain in the end.


Then comes the first HC moutain stage.


And the 2nd, very long, the next day. As the weather is very hot, regeneration may have an important role to play


The final stage is a short criterium of 23 kms ran 4 times. But stay carefully, there is a 13% in the hill.

Cool ! I like India !

Alt max stage3 (maybe 3000m), stage4 (maybe3000m), stage5 (maybe 1500m or 2000m)
