After i watched all of those Giros and I tried to do one by myself, I understand why thare have been so few Upside Down Giros..simply not many viable steep climbs under Tuscany and Marche... :cry2: There are a fair few actually (not less than Spain) They are just hard to find on the editor (you hav...

I had some doubts about even voting for this contest. I feel like a lot of people didn’t even try (or simply forgot?) to follow all the rules that were laid out for this contest (18 Merckx-victories, 23 days of racing etc.)... And my personal opinion is that if you don’t follow these rules, I can’t...

The 1973 stage did not finish on the top of Monte Carpegna (though the name of stage said so), but in the village of Carpegna; the 1970 stage in Brentonico had Cima Polsa as last climb before downhill.

Alas i've no time to create my merckxian gran tour, but i've a plot if someone need.. Prol.

I would remember Italian newspaper "l'Unità" and Spaniard "El Mundo Deportivo" have online their complete archives: they can help you with profiles and news about stages and races.

1) Thanks, i will adapt my route. 2) i would adapt Geneva-Aoste by San Carlo (160km at the time, impossible now in less than 250km) in a Sion-Aoste by Grand Saint-Bernard 3) it will be 23 without rest so... Is it possibile if you do Mont-Blanc tunnel (are you sure they didn't it in 1973)?. You have...

How much classic finishes have to be in the track?

5 stage for country (Belgium, Italy, France) including half stages or not?
Ex: Can i have 3 days in Belgium with 2 half stages or I must have 5 full stages for country?

Many wrong tracks with too many too hard mountain stages: everyone would have liked, in a country like Switzerland, to climb Everest at every stage, but that was not what requested for contest. I found three tracks very near for places from 6 to 4 and other three very near for places from 3 to 1. In...

Saving and reuploading them elsewhere

Elsewhere means?

https://www.la-flamme-rouge.eu/maps/tours/view/9601 Tour de Suisse "D'un chateau à l'autre" I would call my Tour "D'un chateau à l'autre" cause the prologue ends near the vaduz Castle and last stage near Sasso Corbaro Castle near Bellinzona. Other than Liechtenstein, the road passes through Austria ...

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 lac...

has been proposed at Giro 1995 a similar route on track with Fluelapass, on Senales-Lenzerheide stage

1995 stage had not Mortirolo, nor Stelvio, nor Gavia!

I watched carefully the tracks. I excluded tracks: in dangerous countries, in countries or part of countries too distant from Italy (Norway is too cold for a stage race in april), in countries with not at all tradition in bicycle (like Greece: the start of Giro in 1996 was a disaster), with no high ...

If I understand correctly, my first track was second in emmea ranking and fifth overall...not bad after Down Under disaster

Molti bei percorsi, alla fine ho scartato i Giri che: prevedevano spostamenti aerei (se non l'ultimo giorno per la tappa finale) oltre a quello da Israele, prevedevano troppi o troppi pochi km a cronometro, prevedevano la cronometro troppo lontana dall'ultima tappa, prevedevano una lunga cronometro ...

When i present my races in contest i usually upload the profiles of the stages with the command attachment in the lower part of page, but profiles are not showed...
How I have to show them in the contest presentation page?

This is my proposal, the Tour of Dalmatia https://www.la-flamme-rouge.eu/maps/tours/view/9332 Dalmatia is a region of the Eastern Adriatic Coast longtime ruled by Venetians: it spans from Rab Island (North) to Boiana River (South). Actually, for the biggest part, is the homonym region of Croatia, bu...
