How does the WC road and TT race works?
Who gets witch land, how is that decisited?
How is the reg works: is it possible to ride with the same rider both races in good energy?

[Gipfelstuermer]

So I guess, make your mind up, and change it accordingly .

One hour after Final PDF, the Calendar Preview has not been updated ! Sack the admins and calendar managers !

It will probably be like the Test World Championship a few months ago:

- As it's a world championship, there'll be a national team selection process based on the results of the last season.
- The selection process will be visible at the beginning of the month (September) for the race on 28th September.
- All riders will have form settings as in the real game currently and start with 1000 energy
- It's the first WC road and TT in this format in React, so there might be bugs. (even after the Test on the Test Server)

Alkworld might have more details.

There were complaints about the WC mintact or was it just me?

188 minutes are way too long!

It's not only the calendar preview, the final PDF also says cat. 3 to the ITT (that even rhymes). And everybody who's sacked now: I welcome you all in the Vuelta boycott thread

Same for me, 188 too long

Didnt have time to update Worldcup after the OL review there is more to do than the mintact i will try on the weekend

If nobody has time for it over the weekend, I can work on Britain next week. Looks like everything we need is on their webpage.

Hi, it is on lfr, too, if you need it:

Thanks, I had no time yet, but found out the gpx download is behind a paywall using the links from the official webpage.

I forgot to ask it, can we throw in the World cup TTT? If not possible with national teams offer it as one day race? Morning of the other 2 worldcup races for example?

You mean the Team Time Trial Mixed Relay?

I like the idea, but I would need Alkworld to confirm if this is possible with national teams (ideally on same day making it 3 races on that day).

Do you know if you will have time until the start on Tuesday?

Or anyone else?

Yes, i created that profile too. Good opportunity to add a TTT to the calender

Hope to finish it today, maybe tomorrow. Had less time than expected, but did the first four stages so far.

[Radunion]

I will conduct further checks and possibly adjust the min-tact in some hilly stages. Hills are corrected as well as possible with the gpx data, but I did not check whether better info is available. Circuits change the race length by a few km on some stages. The tour looks like fun.



Here, the circuit is not identical. It is flat and in the middle of the race, so I decided not to care.

In the last two stages, I opted for the Welsh names if both are given on the tour website.

[Radunion]

From my side, Britain is finished now.

[TDM_Luxembourg]

Tour de Luxembourg (the koms are not categorised yet on the website so not finished yet)

[Robyklebt]

CircleCycle / r TAKA(14:51): 25th 26th
Wiener Zentralfriedhof RV(14:37): Will we get a fantasy pave race in September, and if so on what date?

It's traditionally FL's job to ask the question here in the forum! And then Taka's job to answer here in the forum!

GP Industria & Artigianato organizers be like: Let's have a route presentation just one week before the race, only to announce it is the SAME route as last year. Well, I take it, less work for me.

Just posting the feedback from Alk: Probably that will create a bug, i.e. we would have to test it first, and he would prefer to test it over putting it as a normal TTT race with normal teams, but unfortunately he did not yet confirm if he'd actually find time to test it (very unlikely for me as this requires someone familiar the world championship code). If there is no testing in time, I can still put it as normal race (edit: but not 100% sure if on the same day).

[Gipfelstuermer]

Pantani new circuits. Designed according to roadbook.

[Gipfelstuermer]

L'unica modifica, obbligata dai lavori dell'Aca in viale Bovio per il posizionamento di nuove tubazioni idriche, costringerà i ciclisti a svoltare in via Donatello, di fronte alla chiesa di Ravasco, anzichè via Da Vinci per poi attraversare il sottopasso di via Caravaggio e immettersi sulla sinistra verso sud lungo il viale che porta al curvone della zona colli, dove ci sono le scalette, salendo per i Gesuiti e riprendere il percorso originale degli ultimi anni

The change is so small (600m replaced by a parallel road if I understand it correctly) that we could keep the route as it was for the last 5 years:

We can maybe put it instead of the Itt on the 26th. But I don't think it would make any sense if it's not national teams?

New route for 2025 with a new circuit.

I have, based on gpx and profile picture:

Le Volture di Romagna 2 4 7 4
Via del Tesoro 2 5 3

Happy to adjust if anyone knows these climbs better.

[Hansa]

only thing I'd change is the "Cote du Peage" near km149. no flatish km at the top. 5-6% for the 2kms of climbs; or 6-5; or 6-6; and dh comes directly after the top and km143 just before should be the usual 6%, cote du golf no ?

i changed cote du peage to 5-6 and downhill immedietely, i also fixes the start of the big lap, till km 146 should be identical to the small lap. i then slightly adjusted the big lap so the eleveation at the end of the big lap fits again.

changed the mintact to km 236 so total length is now 149min+10min sprint.

it's ok to me to leave it as 6* ; also ok to make it 6**, giving more chance to some classics with pavé skills to be WC in RSF (does not happen often !); but would be a strong bias/decision. Difficult to make the climbs steeper according to the real gradients. 6% not so selective in RSF; but again, that's ok I think.

leaving it at 6*

To have more d+ in RSF; and less difference compared to IRL, maybe the circuit could be slightly modified. There are short bumps (300-500m max); these could be a little exaggerated to get a 1% or 2% somewhere in the flatish/dh section of the circuit ? and balance with heavier flat/dh %. this could also get the race more interesting especially for offensive moves and attacks ! (for example, it's seems that km137 -a 3%- shows that well, was probably auto generated and you missed to modify it / include it in usual the circuit because loop before the extra bigger loop ?).

didnt change that, sure we dont have the same HM as the real race but also dowsnt feel right to exaggerate short bumps.

Mur de Kigali : would not be shocked to have a 5% there; cobbles look a bit harder. 5** could be ok and interesting race wise.

leaving that at 4* as its only 400m section according to the roadbook

Consider Worldcup road Race final now.
