For your design and everyone:

Cima Coppi: 50 - 30 - 20 - 14 - 10 - 6 - 4 - 2 - 1 (in-game HC)
1st category: 40 - 18 - 12 - 9 - 6 - 4 - 2 - 1 (in-game 1)
2nd category: 18 - 8 - 6 - 4 - 2 - 1 (in-game 2)
3rd category: 9 - 4 - 2 - 1 (in-game 3)
4th category: 3 - 2 - 1 (in-game 4)

+ 1st category summit finish: 50 – 24 – 16 – 10 – 6 – 4 – 2 – 1 (in-game HCC)

Maximum amounts of points at the finish: 50 – 35 – 25 – 18 – 14 – 12 – 10 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1
Medium amount of points at the finish: 25 – 18 – 12 – 8 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1
Least amount of points at the finish: 15 – 12 – 9 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1
The amount of points at the intermediate sprints for the maglia ciclamino is always the same: 12 – 8 – 5 – 3 – 1

(all same as last year if I see it correctly)

Are these linked to the categories we use, or is there anything else we have to go to match the in game design with the real life points?

Stage 10 ITT done, very flat, Rinchiostra is 0 - 2 - (-1) - (-1).



Stage 11 +12 also done, feel free to review the climbs, gpx was kinda wrong on the climbs there but climbfinder + official infos + La Flamme Rogue had good information



last climb Cogorno 9 - 5 - 7 - 6 -1








Capriata Dorba 4 - 4

Bric Berton 2 - 1 - 6 - 6 - 5 - 8 - 5 - 2



Capriata Dorba 4 - 4

finish 1 - 0 -2

Ah yes, forgot to announce this noob will help with the design too :p

Stages 5,6,7:



Not much to add, last 6km looked very weird from the gpx, other designers and myself unanimously decided to change it to how it is now (6/3/-5/-2/0/2).



First 141km not much there to discuss, but for the final km we would like your feedback. Looks like this:
So 300m regular flat, last 700m is on pavé (*). Around 500m long 4% ramp (all on pavé), but last 200m are flat again, still on pavé. Dilemma now is between 1* and 2*. 17m height difference over the whole km, but those mostly come from the uphill part in the middle. We are leaning 2* now, but would like others' feedback too.



Again not much here, mostly Blockhaus climb important. Not climbed all the way to the top, gpx file pretty much matched the climbfinder profile, so generally didn't have to change much this stage.

Let me know if I missed anything!

[Robyklebt]

Hm,

You have 2x 13 in there. Check "climb details" on the Giro site, no 13%. Cyclingcols very similar to the Giro details, both good sites (and both annoying at times with all the mental calculations you sometimes have to do)
Roccarosos GPM is too early also, 1245 altitude. Also cat 2, not 1

Huh, was struggling to find the right percentages for Blockhaus, based myself on gpx+climbfinder (per 2km). Used the giro site climb profiles in all stages but didn't think about using it here for some reason. Weird... Good catch!
Same for Roccarosos, not sure what went wrong there. KOM now 1km later, in reality even a few 100m further, but whole km would only be a 1%, so prefer to have it 300m earlier instead.

Stage 19:


Stage 18:

Climb is a little over 1km and since it is a little bit over 12% on average too decided on 13%. Final km at 0, even with -0.6% over the km. But the final about 150m are uphill again so I feel like the sprint itself is matched better with a 0

[Nomorelulz]

Stage 13, 2 climbs at the end



Bieno 2,5km climb 4-7-3 (the first km reflects the 0,5km flatter start (5,3% Giro & 6% La Flamme Rogue to 4%))



Ungiasca 3.5km climb from Unchio (RB Sprint) 3 - 7 - 9 - 10 (the first km reflects the 0,5km flatter start (4,8% to 3%))

[Hansa]

Stage 14



a bit tricky with the climb up to Verrogne as the first part up to Lin Noir is 7.4 kms and the 2nd uphill part is 5.6 with 4.1 kms slight donwhill in the middle. i decided to underdesign the first part of the climb by 400ms and 37 HM and overdesigned the 2nd part by 400ms and 33 HM. other interpretations are pretty much possible but that was the one i decided for, but that can be discussed.



Stage 15 pretty flat, some laps in the end with 16.3 kms 4 times thats why we lose 1 kms there i just added a 0 at the end to make up for that.

Stage 8:


Stage 9:


Both climbs quite different from the gpx, based on the Giro site profiles.

Last stages from me. Any feedback for stages 1-9 is free to be sent in my direction. Once Tuk finishes stage 17 we should be done with Giro.

One more thing: Maybe better to wait with publishing until at least 30/4, to avoid new teams signing up already and going out inactive.

[Tukhtahuaev]

Stage 17 also done now

[Robyklebt]

Last stages from me. Any feedback for stages 1-9 is free to be sent in my direction. Once Tuk finishes stage 17 we should be done with Giro.

I just do nasty spot checks
Generally very happy with this crew, using the Giro resources fully it seems. Ultimi chilometri, dettaglio salite etc.
Next spot check (not the only one I did)
Corno alle Scale, not too happy with that?
We end up too high, 1471 reality, 1519 for us (GPX lower, but that's the full km etc problem) the final climb doesn't really fit the dettaglio salite completely either, I just mention the last 3 km now, but the stuff before too. Last km according to ultimi km 7.3%, second last 11.3%, third last 9.8, with the last 700 meters of that km at 13.5%. It's the km before that is flatter, or has a flatter part, comes out at 4.. .before that 9 4 -1 ok ok, now did 6. Anyway, last part recheck would be good.

Stage 8 btw I would go for 7 in the last km. It's 65 meters, so 6.5, can go both ways, but according to Info techniche the finish is on a ramp at around 10%, so over the km 6.5%, finish at 10, then rounding up to 7% seems more logic than rounding down to 6. Also we finish at 318 in reality, c4f now 300, 310 would be better.

Once again thank you for the good feedback.

Stage 8 changed to a 7% instead of a 6% last km.

Stage 9:
Redesigned the final climb. Mistakenly thought it was 10.3km climb when it's actually 10.8km. So, last km is in reality only 800m now, but think that is completely fine here. I work from the top to the bottom of the climb when designing. Did from km to km (10-9, 9-8, 8-7 and so on), but now noticed in the climb detail on the Giro site that it started with .5km, then 10 full kms and then 300m (hence the earlier confusion, didn't factor in the extra .5km at the start. So, redesigned now, starts with the last 800m at the top, then full kms before that. Final 3kms now 12-11-7. 12% is still debatable. It is actually from 2.8km until 1.8km, not 3-2. Km3-2.8 actually almost completely flat, hence the design here is 2% steeper, since that part is included in the km before. Could do the third last km according to the final kms info on the Giro site, which would put it at 10%, but then the kms before that are hard to set, so will keep it like this for now. Fourth last km goes down from 8% to 5% because of the other design way, rest of the climb also different. Check it out and let me know what you think .

Edit: Giro site profile is wrong. It concerns km172-173, with km173 being the Red Bull km (SB). So now not even sure if that km is actually uphill or not, hard to tell. Did some stuff there to make it match, now we end up at 1489m, 18m higher than reality, which seems ok since we have 200m more on the climb.

[Nomorelulz]

Stage 16 done, 1 climb big climb at the end, 2x 22km laps in the middle with 2 small climbs





Torre (5km) 3-4-7-6-7

Leontica (3km) 9-9-8




Cari final climb (11,7 km -> rounded to 12km and adjusted the start of the climb made it flatter)

3 - 8 - 8 - 10 - 9 - 9 - 8 - 4 - 7 - 9 - 10



For the climb I started from the top to the bottom, because its not exactly equal I took the share (in m) of the climb with the % and calculated the average % of each km with the details from giro website. For the last km f.e. = (250m*9,9%+750m*9,5%)/1000m = 9,6% (rounded to 10%) (thanks to hansa here btw for the idea)

Feel free to review it and share your thoughts.



I guess we are at 21/21 then?
