These kind are my favourite contests, a shame there wasn't a lot of interest. FIFTH PLACE: Rmax85 It was either you or Joost, since you both made the same errors, but the Lombardia route was just that tiny bit better. Emilia: extra long climb added just before the final loops, not too big of a deal ...

FIFTH PLACE: Werfer Lack of hilly stages. Bit too many stages with a tough climb -> downhill -> short uphill finish. FOURTH PLACE: davandluz Lack of hilly stages. THIRD PLACE: JoostvandeBeek Hilly stages also lacking, but there are some. Yet I don't think the true hill specialists would shine in tho...

Has Jekp's Vuelta been forgotten in the top list? Or was he too late?

Vuelta: https://www.la-flamme-rouge.eu/maps/tours/view/19388 Description in Spoiler. Stage 1 (ITT) https://i.imgur.com/DAPhZ6Q.png I used the Castillo, just as the real Vuelta, only from the other side and in the end instead of the start to make sure the riders have to bring some thought in how they...

FIFTH PLACE: jajoejoe Bit too easy, but a lot of bonus points for making a realistic ITT within central NY. FOURTH PLACE: Fyr6 The other extreme. very hard tour but with some interesting stages. THIRD PLACE: Xander66 Quite similar to mine, but some stages are definitely better. SECOND PLACE: Diego12...

EDIT: Comment deleted since the issue seems to be with the GPX, not the editor

FIFTH PLACE: Pyrozooka0 First week is a bit boring and a lot of mountain stages are just climb after climb after climb. Could have used one or two easier mountain stages. First ITT could have been shorter, but with the mountains it's well balanced for the GC. FOURTH PLACE: lukkier Lots of sprint sta...

Fyr3's Tour de France 2021 Route Map https://i.ibb.co/487BNWY/cartedutour.png Route Summary Hello all today I present my route summary for my Tour de France 2021. Starting in Bretagne with individual stages in Finistère, Côtes-d'Armor and Morbihan, the winding roads, windy coastlines and sharp rise...

FIFTH PLACE: jajoejoe Don't really like the downhill finish after a plateau. And the stage before that one looks too hard. Shame there are only GC (climb/TT) stages after stage 5. FOURTH PLACE: davandluz Not a fan of having two TT's. Not sure if the TT's balance out with the rest of the route. THIRD...

- You must have from 5 to 7 stages for pure sprinters, Paris included - and no more than 2 of them consequently. What's the deal with consequently??? 5 to 7 mass sprint stages in total but no more than two in a row. is it mandatory to finish the last stage on the Champs Elysees? Can't you always ch...

FIFTH PLACE: jajoejoe Final sprint stage is stage 13, which is a bit too soon. I don't see a lot of sprinters wanting to hang on going into week 3. Lots of hill/mountain top finishes, maybe a bit too many. FOURTH PLACE: Jekp Maybe could have used an extra MTF. Well done picking Sienna as a finish an...

https://www.la-flamme-rouge.eu/maps/tours/view/18870 The concept is a Paris-Nice / Tirreno-Adriatico type of race, focused on the hill specialists and not really for the true climbers, since they have the Dauphiné and Tour de Suisse. There is a rest/transfer day after stage 5. I apologize for the tu...

Route: https://www.la-flamme-rouge.eu/maps/tours/view/18647 Description in Spoiler Stage 1 https://i.imgur.com/5OPczpt.png A TTT to start off with. It starts at the Olympic stadium and follows some straight roads through the city of Torino. In the end there are more corners to make it a bit more dis...

Tough contest, tough to grade since the routes are so varied. :p So I had to work out some sort of system with penalty points, routes with some minor commentary and good routes (E3 and Wevelgem were good for all of them imo). Since there are only seven, I'll just give my feedback to my two non-selec...

https://www.la-flamme-rouge.eu/maps/tours/view/18558 Explanations in the spoiler! 30/04 edit: used an unusable road in the AGR, edited route. Omloop Philosophy: The Omloop is kind of the "Tour of the Haaghoek/Leberg" so we'll need to incorporate that. Also, it should stay above the Oudenaa...

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 ...
