Good tour I think.
Criticism:
-Put the name of the tour in the title. Mmh, what is the name of the Tour anyway? Make a name, then put it in the title. "Giro xxx 1a tappa: Gallipoli-Lecce" etc. So later in the palmares we know what it was. Just "Gallipoli-Lecce" you would think it's a one day race.
-Put all your races in one thread, much easier. You already had a thread with a race, better to just put all in one place. Otherwise we will have a big mess here, if OL opens a new thread for every race.
- Maybe put some more info about the % in the post? Not that important, we'll see it anyway when it's in the calendar, but still always nice to know more I think.
- stage 1: Good, like it. 5 sprints on the way a lot, but could be interesting just because of that, the sprinters will have to try to get an escape earlier, so that the winner gets the leaders jersey, otherwise somebody in the escape gets it. Nice for a change.
- 2: Like the stage except for 2 things. 1: I don't know how steep the cat 1 climb is... see above. small problem. Bigger problem, the las km seems very steep downhill, I don't really like those downhill arrivals, to dangerous for my riders, a sprint at -5? -7? Don't really know. But in those downhill sprints the downhill is always very important, often a mess finally. I would only put more than -2 or maybe -3 after a tough mountain, then ok, here... IMO would be nicer if it was flat, or just slightly down, then a good race for hill sprinters, like this it's for downhill monsters with some sprint and mountain.
-3a : Another sprint, good
-3b: TT with a mountain, good
-4 Good, but put in the name of the starting and finishing citiy in the profile. (Giro dei MOnti as stage name ok, but as usual Giro XXX (di Puglia?) 4a tappa: Giro dei Monti) And the names of the mountains would be nice too. Mmh, I hope you follow real roads actually, otherwise the ape tends to get angry and throws bananas at you. Sometimes wood sticks. Otherwise a nice stage that with the TT will decide the tour. Downhill sprint here doesn't look to steep and fairly soon after a mountain, no problem.
- 5 Don't like the stage name... Fine della sofferenza better, nr 4 was Italian, now english, strange. Plus same as with nr 4, starting and finishing town in the profile. And again, hope you follow real roads!
Good, 5 stages, 3 sprints, 1 tough ITT one tough stage for very good classic riders, maybe even mountain riders could have a small chance, then 1 stage for escapes or a middle size group sprint with downhill. A bit of everything, good tour.
Kraftsystemrevision! Include the distance!
Basics reform: Give blue a chance!
Don't punish bugusers. We all have to use bugs, since most of them are declared as "features"!
Got a carrot from FL. But they threaten to take it away now.
