Contest #7 - Tour de France 2020 [Cat. 1]
Contest #7 - Tour de France 2020
Later than usually is in the season, it is still time for the 2020 Tour de France Contest
You have to re-draw and improve 2020 Tour de France
Constraints
- Gran Depart should be kept the same way (Stage 1 and 2 starts and finishing in Nice, in same points. You can switch finish of stage 1 and 2 or also starts, but a finish point should remain a finish point and a start point should remain a start point)
- Of course you have to end TDF in Champs-Elysees. This means that stage 20-21 transfer shall be 'realistic'
- You cannot repeat key parts of Tour de France 2019 real stages
- You have to put a stage start or a stage finish in at least 7 different france regions
- You can freely choose what to do before Alps or Pyrenees
- 2020 Tour has Covid-19 problem. So, to simplify things, you are not allowed to leave France for the whole route. All the Kms of Tour de France shall be in France.
- You must have from 5 to 7 stages for pure sprinters, Paris included - and no more than 2 of them consequently
- There should be at least 2 high mountain stages that does NOT end in a MTF
Deadline will be Sunday 20/9/2020, when the first rider will cross Tour de France 2020 Stage 21 line. Or 23.59 if the stage won't happen
Tour must be done using Tour de France - 2019 profiles, with Large X-Size and normal slopes on to have an easy comparison between different routes.

"Gran Depart should be kept the same way" But we can totally change the stage, exception to the city, right ?

You can do an ITT if the part was done as IRR and the other way around.

Re: Contest #7 - Tour de France 2020 [Cat. 1]
"You cannot repeat key parts of Tour de France 2019 real stages"
Last year both Col du Galibier and Col de l'Iseran were in the Tour de France (of course they were "key points" of the race..)
So we cannot use these two climbs (for example) or can we use with a different final of the stages?

Re: Contest #7 - Tour de France 2020 [Cat. 1]
Ecco il mio tracciato.
Here is my track.
maps/tours/view/15373
Alcune note
1) Nel disegnarlo mi sono ispirato alla regola del contest sul Giro d’Italia relativa ai siti UNESCO. Quindi, come nell’altro percorso, ho segnalato con la siglia IS i patrimoni dell’umanità ufficiali, con IS* le candidature e con la sigla WNBR i siti appartenenti alla “rete mondiale di riserve della biosfera” dell’UNESCO
2) La settimana centrale è interamente disegnata al nord, ma presenta due sole tappe per velocisti e alcune molto insidiose per i corridori di classifica
3) Il secondo giorno di riposo è in martedì (come al Tour 2019)
4) I lunghi trasferimenti senza giorno di riposo da Le Havre ad Amiens e da Vaison-la-Romaine a Parigi sono fattibili poiché già effettuati in passato al Tour con questa modalità
A few notes
1) In drawing it, I was inspired by the rule of the contest on the Giro d'Italia relating to UNESCO sites. So, as in the other path, I marked the official World Heritage Sites with the IS symbol, the candidacies with IS * and the sites belonging to the UNESCO "World Network of Biosphere Reserves" with the initials WNBR
2) The central week is entirely designed for the north, but has only two stages for sprinters and some very tricky for the ranking riders
3) The second rest day is on Tuesday (as in Tour 2019)
4) Long transfers without a rest day from Le Havre to Amiens and from Vaison-la-Romaine to Paris are feasible as they have already been carried out in the past on the Tour in this way

Re: Contest #7 - Tour de France 2020 [Cat. 1]
I'd make a little editing : I removed Iseran and Galibier and I inserted Col de la Madeleine, Col de Chaussy, Col de la Croix de Fer, L'Alpe d'Huez, Col de Sarenne with the final climb at Les Deux Alpeskanon16 wrote: ↑11/08/2020, 20:32 "You cannot repeat key parts of Tour de France 2019 real stages"

Re: Contest #7 - Tour de France 2020 [Cat. 1]
Despite the rule of the route having to be 100% in France, can I pass through Monaco in stage 1?
Also, can we use key climbs of last Tour if we use them in reverse and the second-last climb, for example Tourmalet and a finish in Luz-Ardiden or Hautacam?

Are we allowed to use Tignes as a stage finish, as it wasn't reached IRL?

Re: Contest #7 - Tour de France 2020 [Cat. 1]
Tour de France 2020 Variant: maps/tours/view/15836
Flat Stages: 7
Hill Stages (Summit): 5 (1)
Mountain Stages (Summit): 7 (4)
Team Time Trials: 1
Individual Time Trials: 1
-
Stage 1
The opening stage starts and finishes in Nice, it's one for the sprinters however doesn't cancel the possibility of a breakaway success, it isn't a pure sprinter stage but should be for the fast men to get the first maillot jaune.
Stage 2
Which will likely be lost then on this second day as it's a hard one. It isn't one though like in real life where I assume there will be an overall marking and no attacks. This stage is proper for attacks there are over 3000 meters of climbing and a lot of climbs, with the Madone there present near the end alongside a steep and unused side of the Col d'Èze before the descent to Nice.
Stage 3
Stage 3 goes through Provence, it's one for the sprinters with possibilities of wind to be present, finishing in Marseille for an urban ending to the stage.
Stage 4
Stage 4 is similar, there's another opportunity for the fast men to seize alongside the Rhone river where most of the stage will take place.
Stage 5
Stage 5 is the first in the Massif Central, it's one for a breakaway, or puncheurs, it has quite a hard start including the climb to Montée de Saint-Jean de Roure which has 5Km at 10%. That start will lure climbers and puncheurs to the front, whilst the second half of the stage is much flatter and so it will make for a very open race.
Stage 6
Stage 6 is a collective challenge, it's the race's sole team time trial and has 37Km of straight roads where the powerful teams can make profit and early damage.
Stage 7
Stage 7 is another puncheur/breakaway suited day, it takes place in the Morvan park and there's a lot of little climbing in it, lots of rolling roads and places to attack which alongside it's 215Km of distance it makes it one for the classics riders.
Stage 8
Stage 8 is another on for the classics riders but perhaps a bit different ones, it's not a very hilly stages but has a familiar finish in the gravel roads near Tours. It's a very traditional and rough day where GC battle and defence will for sure be the main point of the stage.
Stage 9
Stage 9 is a transitional one, with the race start in the South there's a need to travel up north and this stage not only allows the sprinters to battle it out it also allows the race to keep a good structure without big transfers.
Stage 10
Stage 10 is the biggest of the race, it goes through the roads of Limousin and also goes ahead to the ancient Puys of the Massif Central, where the Pas de Peyrol makes for a hard finish in Saint-Jacques-des-Blats after some rough climbing.
Stage 11
Stage 11 is the last one in the Massif and it will be an important one for the overal. On the road to Mende there will be a lot of climbing including the Col du Pré de la Dame, there's a dificult approach to Mende where the race will finish atop the Col de la Croix Neuve.
Stage 12
Stage 12 will make the transition from the Massif to the Pyrinees. The start in Rodez will be in altitude and the race will consequently go down to Toulouse.
Stage 13
Stage 13 is the sole road stage in the Pyrinees and it will be the GC favourites' first chance to make real damage in the race. There are several climbing stages before but there's a brutal summit finish to make big differences. There's over 4400 meters of climbing with the Portet d'Aspet, the Menté, Peyresourde, Val Louron-Azet to set things up for a finish in Lac de Cap-de-Long high up in the Pyrinees.
Stage 14
Stage 14 is the race's sole ITT and it's one of the most important stages of the race. There's 53Km of individual racing and some climbing, but a lot of ground to make damage within a loop around Foix.
Stage 15
Stage 15 is one of the last opportunities for the sprinters and it goes through the Languedoc region. It's totally flat and goes through a lot of the main cities of the area before finishing in the cycling city of Nîmes.
Stage 16
Stage 16 is a not-so-well welcomed return to Provence, where the riders will have to tackle it's "Géant". It's a rough stage with some climbing beforehand, but the summit to Mont Ventoux is the hardest of the race and is an introduction to what we will see in the Alps.
Stage 17
As will this stage, already well within the Alps but not one where differences will be made. It's a day for a breakaway, it goes through Gap and Barcelonnette, also in Guillestre after going through the Col de Vars, before a finish in Briançon which should be fitting to the escapees, who will stay the night in the city for the start in the next day.
Stage 18
The start in Briançon will be familiar as the riders will go over to Lautaret before tackling the Col du Galibier the highest point of the race. The start is hard but it's only a step in this the first of the final trebble of decisive stages in the Alps. After going through the Maurienne valley the riders will go up the Col de la Croix the Fer before a short descent that will lead to the summit finish in La Toussuire.
Stage 19
Stage 19 is one for raiding, and a lot of destruction in any group. It's spearheaded by three climbs, all of them long and steep starting in the Col du Grand Cucheron and a transition to Chambéry and a passing in the Mont du Chat via it's hardest side, before going down and then tackling the other Jura giant the Col du Grand Colombier which will also be tackled in it's hardest side with some sections of above 20% halfway through the climb, before a fast and technical descent and a fast run-in to Culoz.
Stage 20
And the final mountain stage the final showdown. This is an epic finish to an epic race, the start in Annecy will follow through into Culoz where the riders will tackle the mythical duo of the Romme/Colombière. This will break the race and will allow serious attacks to happen and the race to be turnt on it's head in the final day, with the Col des Aravis then making a transition in the middle of where it will then lead to, which is Saint-Gervais-les-Bain where the riders will have their final climb of the race in Le Bettex.
Stage 21
The final one, you know it!

Stage 1
The opening stage starts and finishes in Nice, it's one for the sprinters however doesn't cancel the possibility of a breakaway success, it isn't a pure sprinter stage but should be for the fast men to get the first maillot jaune.
Stage 2
Which will likely be lost then on this second day as it's a hard one. It isn't one though like in real life where I assume there will be an overall marking and no attacks. This stage is proper for attacks there are over 3000 meters of climbing and a lot of climbs, with the Madone there present near the end alongside a steep and unused side of the Col d'Èze before the descent to Nice.
Stage 3
Stage 3 goes through Provence, it's one for the sprinters with possibilities of wind to be present, finishing in Marseille for an urban ending to the stage.
Stage 4
Stage 4 is similar, there's another opportunity for the fast men to seize alongside the Rhone river where most of the stage will take place.
Stage 5
Stage 5 is the first in the Massif Central, it's one for a breakaway, or puncheurs, it has quite a hard start including the climb to Montée de Saint-Jean de Roure which has 5Km at 10%. That start will lure climbers and puncheurs to the front, whilst the second half of the stage is much flatter and so it will make for a very open race.
Stage 6
Stage 6 is a collective challenge, it's the race's sole team time trial and has 37Km of straight roads where the powerful teams can make profit and early damage.
Stage 7
Stage 7 is another puncheur/breakaway suited day, it takes place in the Morvan park and there's a lot of little climbing in it, lots of rolling roads and places to attack which alongside it's 215Km of distance it makes it one for the classics riders.
Stage 8
Stage 8 is another on for the classics riders but perhaps a bit different ones, it's not a very hilly stages but has a familiar finish in the gravel roads near Tours. It's a very traditional and rough day where GC battle and defence will for sure be the main point of the stage.
Stage 9
Stage 9 is a transitional one, with the race start in the South there's a need to travel up north and this stage not only allows the sprinters to battle it out it also allows the race to keep a good structure without big transfers.
Stage 10
Stage 10 is the biggest of the race, it goes through the roads of Limousin and also goes ahead to the ancient Puys of the Massif Central, where the Pas de Peyrol makes for a hard finish in Saint-Jacques-des-Blats after some rough climbing.
Stage 11
Stage 11 is the last one in the Massif and it will be an important one for the overal. On the road to Mende there will be a lot of climbing including the Col du Pré de la Dame, there's a dificult approach to Mende where the race will finish atop the Col de la Croix Neuve.
Stage 12
Stage 12 will make the transition from the Massif to the Pyrinees. The start in Rodez will be in altitude and the race will consequently go down to Toulouse.
Stage 13
Stage 13 is the sole road stage in the Pyrinees and it will be the GC favourites' first chance to make real damage in the race. There are several climbing stages before but there's a brutal summit finish to make big differences. There's over 4400 meters of climbing with the Portet d'Aspet, the Menté, Peyresourde, Val Louron-Azet to set things up for a finish in Lac de Cap-de-Long high up in the Pyrinees.
Stage 14
Stage 14 is the race's sole ITT and it's one of the most important stages of the race. There's 53Km of individual racing and some climbing, but a lot of ground to make damage within a loop around Foix.
Stage 15
Stage 15 is one of the last opportunities for the sprinters and it goes through the Languedoc region. It's totally flat and goes through a lot of the main cities of the area before finishing in the cycling city of Nîmes.
Stage 16
Stage 16 is a not-so-well welcomed return to Provence, where the riders will have to tackle it's "Géant". It's a rough stage with some climbing beforehand, but the summit to Mont Ventoux is the hardest of the race and is an introduction to what we will see in the Alps.
Stage 17

Can we use one of last year's finishing town as a starting one? Like Brioude?
