Thank you! I'll check the technical gpx-file stuff and the linked homepages at the weekend, try a bit by myself and then get back here.

You could start by creating fantasy races, to get an idea of how the editor works.

Can you give a few hints of what you actually need as fantasy? Do you have an overview? Because I am currently also designing a bit and would be helpful for me to know as well

@GIP is there an event tag for it? Couldn't find it yet

Stage 1: ITT



Looks great at all! Thank you!
I thought the first stage is more uphill at the beginning (each of the first 2km's with at least 7%)?

At least on the homepage it looks more uphill: https://itzulia.eus/en/stages/bilbao-bilbao-2026/

Is that what you're looking for: https://ograncamino.gal/stage-1-2026?lang=en? (gpx-downloads for each stage under 'track')

Sorry if not, just trying to understand the process. Hope not to be encroaching.

Hello. No it's more an internal tag in our database. It is used to link the different editions of the same race (different years) with each other. For example, when you click on the profile of a race and go to history, you can see who else has won the race in the past.

O Gran Camino was just ridden in 2025 (Februar) maybe that's the reason there is no tag yet (or I cannot find it).

Maybe this is not the best place to discuss it. But in short: the looks depend on the max altitude selected and the scale is very differently. What is actually counting is the altitude change of one km to the other. When you upload a gpx file the editor calculates it automatically. Additionally, you can adjust. I usually adjust the last km and the climbs based on the official information that is available. Sometimes from the official website, sometimes from information on la-flamme-rouge, sometimes from the route and gpx itself.

PS: the link is exactly what I came across as well

O Gran Camino


Classification of stages was done by myself so far, didnt find info about this yet. Not sure if there are IS, profile they publish doesnt show any. Also no info if there are any dirt roads or pave involved, first look from my side doesn't look like but I didn't check very long.

Stage 1: ITT


Stage 2: hilly


Stage 3: hilly


Stage 4: mountain


Stage 5:mountain

All races now in calendar.

Design help much appreciated as always. I can do DDV today.

The first post of this thread can use an update; Tour of the Alps for example is already getting designed. Would love to help but let's avoid double work of course...

Just for my own understanding: races to be checked means checking if the race from last year changed and apply those changes?

Thanks!

I can only do it if I know about it ^^ Did anyone raise their hand here or in the ingame editor chat?

Yes, exactly.

Maybe I need to re-phrase it to motivate more teams to work on that. "To be checked" maybe sounds like someone else has designed it already and only needs a review. But no, it means last year's version exists, but we need to compare with this year's version, which can easily be more work than designing a new race (comparison sometimes more complicated than designing new stuff).

They just spammed in game general chat about it :p. Maybe Taka can clarify which of the races to be designed are free to take still.

Thanks! I will have a look at it tonight potentially and see if I can check a few of them.

Edit: sorry for the weird looking quotes^^

Route 2026 is different from Route 2025:

- Total Climbs: Increased to 12 (compared to 10-11 in previous editions).
- New Climbs: Added Hellestraat (km 48) and Onderbossenaarstraat (km 107, 1.4km long, 10% max).
- Earlier Climbing: The hill zone begins 21km earlier than in 2025, with climbing starting after 47.7km (-> Hellestraat).
- Structure: The race retains the familiar Flemish Ardennes key spots, including double ascents of Berg Ten Houte, Côte de Trieu, and Hotond, with 7 cobblestone sections.
- Finish: The finale remains in Waregem after a double loop via the Nokereberg and Herlegemstraat.
- Length: approximately 185km

I can check RvV, which has an altered route.

According to procyclingstats Giro C.M. di Reggio Calabria is cancelled. Will it be cut or are we using last year's version then?

It think last year it was not even part of our calendar so I am OK cancelling it in that case.

Tour of Alps is done, i set all stages to medium as the last years roadbook (this years is not avaible) says all stages give the same Points for Point classification.

[Nomorelulz]
