Re: Contest #6 - Tour de France 2021
Does the constraint of a single stage in each department of Brittany remain? (e.g one in Morbihan, Finistere etc.) I suppose in that case a stage only starting in Brittany would depart from Ile-et-Villaine
Also, does Brest have to host the start of stage 1?

Re: Contest #6 - Tour de France 2021
Does this mean, that we cannot have for example an ITT to La Planche des Belles Filles, or that we can't go there whatsoever, even as a part of a road stage?You cannot repeat key parts of Tour de France 2020 real stages
Also, does a stage with cobblestones (and without hills) count as sprinters stage?

is it mandatory to finish the last stage on the Champs Elysees? Can't you always choose a new final goal in Paris?

5 to 7 mass sprint stages in total but no more than two in a row.
Rules say so.

So the Pyrenees are at the end, as they actually are this year?

Re: Contest #6 - Tour de France 2021
Well Alps before pyrenees doesn't necessarily mean Pyrenees come last. I'm sure it would be ok to then finish in the Massif Central before a transfer to Paris for instance.

No. The important is that Alps are before, then Pyrenees.
Mont Ventoux is NOT considered Alps.

2) No. Sprinters stages are expected mass sprint stages. The ones in which UCI applies 3'' protocol.

Re: Contest #6 - Tour de France 2021
Yes, it is. It's not mandatory to do a circuit, or to do a mass sprint, but it's mandatory to end there.

Re: Contest #6 - Tour de France 2021
Another question. Do you think it would be feasible to start the race with an ITT on the Ile d' Ouessant? I have no problems changing the plans, if it can't be done.

Re: Contest #6 - Tour de France 2021
I don't know the rules of the contest so Emmea will say if so, but the ferry time from Brest to there (so presumably the reverse back to mainland) takes roughly 2 hours. There is an airport also I think but not an international one of course.

Re: Contest #6 - Tour de France 2021
I shoulda saved my ribin stage from a previous Tour I made for this. Then again, that might’ve been too insane for contest purposes.
Also I’d assume Ventoux doesn’t need to be a summit finish since it’s not in the actual race this year?

Re: Contest #6 - Tour de France 2021
Is it mandatory to include Mont Ventoux on the route? And is it allowed to climb Chalet Renyard via Bedoin and then descend to Sault?
What about Mont Saleve- is it considered to be Alps?

Re: Contest #6 - Tour de France 2021
I hope so, I was gonna use it . Looking more closely both come under the region of "french prealps" so I guess not . Then again, the area of Le Grand Bornand from the real Tour is covered by that region so who knows!Bocmanis82 wrote: ↑01/07/2021, 8:40 Is it mandatory to include Mont Ventoux on the route?

Re: Contest #6 - Tour de France 2021
I’d assume that area plus Semnoz is allowed to be used as Alps for our purposes even if it technically isn’t Alps geographically speaking.Fyr3 wrote: ↑01/07/2021, 13:20I hope so, I was gonna use it .

Even if not it’s in a good place to chain into a “proper” Alpine stage the following day.
