Czech Cycling Tour

This stage race, since a few years 2.1, is ridden in the area of Olomouc. There's plenty of hills around there, which is shown in the race as well.




Stage 1 is meant to create the first differences. A relatively short TTT in and around Frydek-Mistek will test the teams' strength.


The best stage for the sprinters that have shown up here. The circuit around Unicov, the finishing town, is pretty much pan-flat and should not provide difficultes.


The queen stage. After a hilly run-in the riders will climb the Ecce Homo around Sternberk, where the finish line is placed. The best climbers should come out on top here.


Stage 4 is not the hardest stage, but it definitely is the least predictable. The hilly circuit around Dolany is not very tough, but separates the stronger from the weaker. Nevertheless, a sprint of a relatively large group does not seem unlikely.

(Please note that the cobbles in stage 3 and 4 have all been set to difficulty 1 and should therefore hardly have an impact on the race).

Great stages Selwink

wow it looks stunning!

Oh my, the profile does not give credit at all to the incredibly hard tt that was this years Norwegian Championship... It looks pretty flat, but as climbers like Frederik Wilmann and Carl Fredrik Hagen rode well in the course, the hills/mountain ratio is a bit higher than it looks.

My computer is too bad to take screenshot and the print screen button does not work, so no pictures from the stage are taken. Still, I feel that the result looks quite good, even though it was made by nothing. The not-so-big amount of time taken to make also makes it more tempting to continue making the other norwegian races.

Is Tour of Norway already made, or is that wanted as well?

There is currently one variant of Tour of Norway available, but it's quite old and the quality is fairly low (although, without DEM files one can't expect much more). If you feel like creating one, it will definitely be helpful.

As three out of 5 stages have DEM, and the fourth is in the Ringerike GP routes, I reckon this as very doable.


The Sundvolden GP is not possible to make right, as it crosses roads with 9.5 kms between instead of 15. I will set up one extra lap in the mountain to make it possible to create.

With soon three weeks in I wanna give a quick update on La Méditerranéene:

Routes are set and only decorative work on the last two stages is left.
Last stages circuit was less than 5km therefor adjustments were necessary (two less, but longer laps). In addition the position of the sprints on this last stage are just guessed as I couldn't find reliable informations. The route was changed short-termed and the tech-guide isn't of any help.

To get it done until the Daily-DB release date isn't impossible, but doubtful. If there is some importance of having it ready sooner I may can provide a light version?




Ingame pics from stage 2 (Argèles-sur-Mer):

Very nice that you give some attention to some of the smaller races, can be quite dull, riding the same stages 5 years in a row in these stage races

Awesome work Margh, this seems like it will be another one of those PCM gems, which are a joy to play.


If you could have a light version done by Monday evening, it would be included in the EP. But it's not of great importance imo. The race will be included in the EP regardless (with cdx if not your stages) and so people can easily add this variant to the game when it's ready in its full glory.

Thanks, togo!
Didn't expect the DB release is that soon... would be tough to get even a rushed version out by tomorrow. Will finish the race my usual way and will get it done until next weekend.
Bonne chance on the final effords for the Daily-DB!

With the release of the first full Expansion Pack I would like to say thanks to everyone who helped out with creating the stages. It is only by virtue of contributions from the community like these that the database can be as complete as it is.

Also, since there will be further updates to the EP with even more races added, any help with creating the races mentioned in the opening post (or in fact any other .2 race that is not in the EP) is more than welcome.

Once again thanks a lot for your help.

I've created the Munsterland Giro, this evening i'll upload on the stage database

Ringerike GP 2016:



Ringerike GP is a race with a lot of short steep hills, that should possibly end with a sprint in a small group. I know that narrow roads are unpopular in stage making these days, but as that is the main factor of splitting up the race IRL; I have included some size 1 roads.

It takes time building a longer stage from nothing, but I am pretty satisfied with this result.

I've decided to stick with hard races of 1.2. This race was already made for some older version but needed a remake, so here we are.



The race is very hard mainly due to the cobbles. In the large lap we find the famous Muur van Geraardsbergen, but also the local lap features two difficult cobbled sections. On top of that, the short hills in this race form another difficulty which may make the final selection.


You should know this one by now
