Non-official contest : Stages races in USA

Post by benoît.guillot »

I'd like to propose a new non-official contest.

USA want to have a bigger influence on the UCI calendar. USCF have decided to propose two stages races to mark the beginning of the season. They want to compete with Paris-Nice et Tirreno-Adriatico so the races have to be better version of this two tours.

The races you should design shall follow these standards :

- Two tours are required. One Tour of 8 stages from sunday to sunday and the others of 7 stages from monday to sunday.
- The two tours must take place in two different part of the country. If the first round is held on the west coast, the second must take place on the east coast and vice versa.
- The first Tour will have 8 stages. 2 stages purely dedicated to sprinters, 1 High mountain stage with a top finish and at least 1 TT. The total distance of the TT will not exceed 50km. For the rest, you are completely free but this first Tour is to be win by a climber who can resist the punchers in the hilly stages.
- The second Tour will have 7 stages. 3 stages purely for sprinters, 2 high mountain stages, 1 ITT and 1 medium mountain stage or hilly stages. The total distance of the TT will not exceed 40km. The three spinters stages cannot follow each other.

- Due to climatic conditions, only states located under a New York - Salt Lake City line are authorized. The altitudes can never exceed 1800m for a summit finish or 1500m for any other passes on the route.
- Detours in Mexico are authorized only if they do not exceed 30km.



Deadline is March 28, h 23.59

Let's go !

It should yes but I'm a bit disapointed by the lack of route submitted.

Yeah, Lukkier should make his route, but I have checked what stages he has made, and he made a La Course vers le Nord instead.
