Since there isn't a final PDF yet, the preview doesn't include any information specifically for div6, and nothing has been announced, I'm planning the Lippe Tour as a regular tour for everyone.

Sorry, didn't have the time yet to publish it.

It will be Div6 only and I explained the logic above.

Once again, looks like a penalty for managers skipping the TDF with 0 tours after Austria..

And well, sad to don't have this kind of open tours available for everyone. A lot of riders could be interested in this tour between gc tt-riders, cobble ones, classics, sprinters.. We're opening this tour only for D6, like we are sure to have a big wave of new riders. Ofc there will have some, but it wouldn't be better to 1) open it to everyone / 2) and if we have a big wave, to open 1-2 editions for d6 only (or newcomers in overall) ?

For the avoidance of doubt final PDF now online

I included the raw gpx for denmark tour, it is not yet fully designed, but maybe helps with formplanning a bit. Stage 1 is a bit tricky: the last 3x +6 climbs could also be +5 - keep that in mind. Tour will be designed later in July..

As Div 6 player I have huge interess in Lippe tour ofc. But I cannot ride at 20:00 what about to have one at h 18:00 and one at h22:00? or something like that? Is very bad for me to have that planned with form but cannot skip job to play the game


@Edit:

To be honest since there are something like 25 - 30 active teams in Div 6 (and probably some of that were just banned for multiaccounting) would be nice to open the tour to Div5 players too 10 of 26 have less than 100 races (but I haven't check how many of them are at TDF actually)

@ Edit 2:
Checked now
just 7 active team in this month are not at tour in DIV 5 I've not counted the players with 0 races

I tried to design Clásica de Ordizia - Ordiziako Klasikoa.

Saved the profile ClassicaOrdizia_26 and the race.
Please check if I made some stupid errors, because I'm simply not able to work with the profile/race editor

Homepage of the race:

Looks very good.

You managed to design a circuit without height differences, put in the race editor, add a mintact, etc... so that's definitely advanced design level already

Only question is about the percentages of Alto Abaltzisketa. You got 8 8 7. In previous years it was 7 9 7. No big difference and the profile on the website is not showing it perfectly... so perhaps I would keep 7 9 7 from previous years? This is just for consistency for these types of yearly races.... of course if you think 8 8 7 is more accurate, then change it of course.

Glad you like the profile
After looking at the graphic on the homepage I originally thought about 8-8-6. (Distance 2,9km; elevation gain 216m) But the gpx gave me 8-8-7.
I don't know if there is a 9. So I would like to keep it as it is.

Vuelta a Castilla y Leon / Clasica Castilla y Leon

In our race calender there is a one-day-race on 26.07. called "Vuelta a Castilla y Leon". That's wrong.
The vuelta (as the name indicates) is a 5-day stage race from 21.07 to 25.07.
see here: https://vueltacyl.com/

The race in our calender should be "Clasica Castilla y Leon". That's a one-day-race on 26.07.
The only info I could find is this little picture.

Probably not enough to design the race. Not yet

could change someone the minutes tact plz

We, 15-Jul Heverlee - Holsbeek Flat 170km 550m km1 170min

[bergwerk cycling]

I want to ask or comment for the future:

Isn't it better not only to make itt and ttt on one day like We, 22-Jul?
Better mix itt/ttt with another "normal" race or what is your opinion?

Dont think iam the only one with no team for itt/ttt and so make a race-day to a holi-day.



ps: and plz save the really nice looking Lippetour for the offseason-saison for everyone^^

I have a technical question about the TTT and the future of it. Do we race now all TTT under the new regulation (best rider counts) or do we have also the possibility for a "normal" TTT were the best 5 count? Is this implemented in the editor or did you (Gip) set anything manually for this new thing?

[schappy]

someone make the race in spain at the 26. or should we do another race?

I would be very happy if we can have at least 1/2 TTT every month I really enjoy the format but I completely agree with you, having IT and TTT in the same day isn't fun for everyone

I get your point.

…but others maybe have no pave, sprint or whatever team and also don’t get a race to choose from if it’s not their favorite race type

[schappy]

I get your point too, but i see it a little bit like dreizehn. When you dont have a Sprinter, you dont say i have no Sprinter, i want a mountain Race.
In August we have it like you want bw, normal Race and ITT at the same day, but we will have it like in July again in other months.

An before everybody say it, i know a Time Trial is other then a Sprint race, in a Sprint race an escape can win, in a Time Trial only Timetrialist can win. But its a Teambuilding decision not to have a TT guy.

For me for example, i dont like the NCs. Its a C4F free day for me without a race too.

[Radunion]

If you offer two races a day, doing two that need similar teams is maybe not the best idea. Would you do two sprint races or a mountain race and a hilly race with an uphill finish the same day?

On the other side, for TT teams it must annoying. There are few one-day TT races and than you are not able to ride all of them.

thks radunion ... thats the point!
itt/flat on one day
ttt/classic two days later brings for the timeriders 2 races and for the others (like me) too .-)

i can life with itt/ttt on one day ... but perhaps think over it next time = thks.

Still no info about Clasica Castilla y Leon on next sunday.

All I could find about the race is this:



Maybe we have to use the profile from last year.

There is a gpx profil on L-F-R (don't know the source) but the profile looks like that on the parchment scroll you posted

[flockmastoR]

I did a quick design. Last km info adjusted apart from that no check yet:

[Nomorelulz]

I included the raw gpx for denmark tour, it is not yet fully designed, but maybe helps with formplanning a bit. Stage 1 is a bit tricky: the last 3x +6 climbs could also be +5 - keep that in mind. Tour will be designed later in July..

Denmark should be done now, is under review. Feel free to comment.
