Giro d'Italia 2018 (Cat. 1, deadline on 4/5)
Contest #2 - Giro d'Italia 2018
The first GT contest (Cat. 1) of the year will, of course, be on Giro d'Italia. Why I'll open it so early? Because drawing a GT is not for all and i want to give you three months to do it (at least say thanks)
The contest will be about redrawing the 2018 Giro d'Italia. That will mainly means
- You have to keep the start from Israel. You can change the starting points and cities but you have to pass on West Jerusalem and you cannot go in Palestinian territories for safety reasons.
- You have to end it in Rome
- You cannot repeat finals or key parts of stages of 2017 real race
- You have to put a stage start or a stage finish in at least 15 different regions
- 2018 is 100 years after WWI end, so you have to remember it in at least two stages
Opposite from the other contests, you can have a maximum of TWO routes submitted for this one
The Giro should be balanced, offering a "Dumoulin" and a "Quintana" the same chances to compete for the maglia rosa.
The Deadline will be on 4/5, when the first rider of real Giro d'Italia will start his ITT
You must submit your routes in this topic submitting the link. As stated in general presentation, you can submit from 1 to 3 routes. You can use this topic also for asking the question - we can answer question about climb / road / finish praticability but we won't answer to anyone's questions in private, only in this topic.
Everyone who will present the route also posting in the topic profiles and descriptions in this topic will start the voting phase with 3 points bonus
Good luck anyone
-------------------
In Italian:
Il contest verte sul ridisegnare il Giro 2018 con queste condizioni
A) Mantenere la partenza da Israele, senza sconfinare in altri stati o territori palestinesi. Si possono cambiare le città ma bisogna passare da Gerusalemme
B) Bisogna finire a Roma
C) Non si possono ripetere finali o punti chiavi di tappe del Giro 2017
D) Bisogna inserire almeno una partenza o arrivo di tappa in 15 diverse regioni italiane
E) Bisogna inserire almeno due tappe a tema (o con punti che tocchino il tema) "100 anni dalla fine della prima guerra mondiale"
Si possono mandare fino a due percorsi per utente
Il percorso deve essere bilanciato tra cronoman-scalatori, permettendo di essere vinto sia da un Dumoulin che da un Quintana
Chiunque posti il percorso con profili e descrizioni nel topic avrà tre punti bonus per la presentazione

Re: Giro d'Italia 2018 (Cat. 1, deadline on 4/5)
Presentation per stage in the spoiler. Full route: maps/tours/view/8416
A short Grand Tour (3100 km), but action-packed. Lesser climbers can hang on until stage 13, but from there the favourites will have to show themselves. About 5 mass sprints + some stages where sprinters might be able to hang on.
Italian regions with start and/or finish: Calabria, Basicilata, Puglia, Molisse, Campania, Lazio, Abruzzo, Emilia Romagna, Veneto, Fruili, Trentino, Lombardia, Piemonte, Liguria, Toscana

For all the contest competitors
Remember to indicate CLEARLY in the description of the Tour WHERE the rest days are. Of course the first one will be after the three israelian stages but you have to write down the other two somewhere.

Hey,
I just finish my Giro but i have a question before to formalize my tour. I remember we can't take key part of stages og Giro 2017 but can we take key part of Giro 2017 if it's not a key part at all in our Giro ? Like take Oropa in first climb or climb Grappa+Foza in first half of a stage ? Thanks for the answer and, if i must, i will change but i'd like my Giro now^^

It's not a good thing as evaluation point, but yes you can and it won't give you any penalty.jibvalverde wrote: ↑28/02/2018, 15:40 Hey,

Tecnically they are dangerous. They are asphalted but too risky. Giro actually didn't go there because if someone had an accident would be their responsability.

This is my version of Giro d'Italia: it reminds the penultimate Giro ending in Rome, the 2009 edition with the last week in Southern Italy. Compared to 2009 edition this one goes more South to have finish in more regions.
First three stages are in Israel: the first two not too distant from real ones, the third goes Nord instead South, ending 200 m under sea level.
There are finishes in 16 regions: Toscana (il Ciocco), Liguria (Arenzano), Val d'Aosta (Aosta), Piemonte (Arona), Lombardia (Brescia Monte Maddalena and Sirmione), Trentino Alto Adige (Torri del Vajolet), Friuli Venezia Giulia (Redipuglia), Veneto (Monte Grappa), Emilia Romagna (Lugo di Romagna), Marche (Filottrano), Molise (Termoli), Basilicata (Grassano), Calabria (Praia a Mare), Campania (Rifugio Calvanico), Abruzzo (Block Haus), Lazio (Roma). A stage starts in Apulia (San Severo).
4 stages reminds of I world war: Trento-Torri del Vajolet (it starts near Castello del Buonconsiglio, where was executed Italian hero Cesare Battisti), Redipuglia (memorial of I WW), Monte Grappa (memorial of I WW), Lugo di Romagna (city of Francesco Baracca, I WW aviator).
Other than Israel another stage ends in a foreign country, San Marino.
The second time trial is in the tradition of wines time trial of the giro (Prosecco, Barolo, Chianti, Sagrantino): this one is dedicated to the Verdicchio, ending in Filottrano, the city of Michele Scarponi.
Rest days after stage three (air transfer from Israel to Pisa), nine (Sirmione) and fifteen (Filottrano).
Other details in single stage profile.

This is a correct version of Giro d'Italia: there is no more the finish at Block Haus, that could have been penalized cause there was in 2017 Giro too (though the fnish in my version was different and higher).
