So first off, 2 issues I noticed regarding the routes and the given rules (so I had to eliminate some good routes that were overall otherwise fine): for Milano-Roma, stage 7 was a Mountain Top Finish, not just a mountain stage with a hill top finish & Stage 8 a (medium) mountain stage, not just ...

I think you forgot to add the link to this thread in the header.

As far as Google Maps and satellite images go: yes :p Avoiding dirt roads was my main concern.

Thanks, seems the Peyresourde and Menté are fine. Will edit out Port de Bales, not much of a hassle.

Milano - Roma Stage 1: Monza - Monza Note: Those peaks before Valmadera are tunnels that I couldn't erase via the tunnel to...

FIFTH PLACE: Xander66 Same idea as me to place one in Morocco, so bonus point :p. But instead you chose one for the classics riders and it worked out fairly well. Could have used one more hilly stage though. The second race is nice as well, but sadly by including only one big mountain stage, there'l...

@Sagan99 is it possible that your stages for the Latium Tour are set on private? I can't see them.

First up is a GC preparation race. I didn't want to place it in Spain/France/Portugal/Italy since they have a lot of those races already. So I took Morocco, a common participant in the world championships, a way to expand cycling in another continent that is not Asia/Middle East and close enough for...

FIFTH PLACE: AjachiChakrabarti A bit too much climbing in my opinion, but if you would replace the TTT by an ITT (since the ITT is a climbing one), I think it could give an interesting and exciting GC battle. FOURTH PLACE: Jajoejoe Some weird uphill finishes in the beginning (Stage 4 & 6), but y...

Don't want to be a snitch, but Jibvalverde's route seems to go into Andorra, which I thought wasn't allowed?

EDIT 21/10/2020: Updated this post with the 2019 profiles. Scusi! Route: https://www.la-flamme-rouge.eu/maps/tours/view/16454 Regions: Andalucia, Extramadura, Castilla Y Leon, La Rioja, Aragón, Navarra, Catalunya, Castilla La Mancha, Madrid Note: I have two minor overlaps (not key parts) of the 2019...

FIFTH PLACE: IamCeeKae Good tour overall, but I feel some mountains are placed in strange places on some tracks. FOURTH PLACE: Chuimiento Route is balanced, but misses one real high mountain stage. THIRD PLACE: mäth.voet Almost perfect, I'm just not a fan of stage 5: seems not deciding for the GC. S...

FIFTH PLACE: Bomby Good route, but the inclusion of that amount of Strade makes the route more risky for flat tires for GC riders. FOURTH PLACE: Taaramae_crack Very well made, but total route length is a bit on the lower side. 2 long ITT's though. THIRD PLACE: Pincoletto Beautiful route, just a lack...

They're Spanish, so I don't think they're allowed

This is the Salzburgerland Rundfahrt and, people who already went there will know, probably the stage race with the friendliest people and most beautiful sights. All stages are 100% set in the Salzburgerland province of Austria. Presentation is in the spoiler, full route here: https://www.la-flamme-...

Just a note (before I'm going to look like a cynical bastard ;) ): I'm just going to point out the issues I have with the best routes. If I didn't mention a stage, it means I think it's good. Fifth Place: Diego12Alpe Omloop & Strade are too easy in my opinion. Early start of the final in Gent-We...

Here are my Spring classics (see spoiler): https://www.la-flamme-rouge.eu/maps/tours/view/8730 ! Can I just add that this was a great challenge? Took some time to make, but it was very fun. Omloop het Nieuwsblad Since the Omloop is basically the "tour of the Haaghoek", I tried to include i...

Reviews - Part 3 Belgian4444 Like the idea of prologue but didn't respect the idea of the route. You had to start in one of the center NEAR paris, not IN paris. The arrive on Cote de Lorien is terrible. Lentignano is a terrible finish as probably doesn't reach 100 inhabitants. Castelluccio, instead...

You can make little edits to original route but not too much.

Choosing a different side of Cipressa to climb is ok, right?
