I've finished creating the Swiss Tour du Jura, it's a 1.2 race that was around back in 2014 which is coming back for the 2017 season. It has quite a tough profile crossing Mont Raimeux, Les Ordons (twice) and a final unnamed climb of similar profile with 80km left, before a circuit around Porrentruy, containing a tough hill that should decide the race.
Thanks a lot to Selwink who gave me a lot of help with making this.

Thanks Sutty!

Next up is the Grand Prix des Marbriers, a 1.2 race consisting of a 9.5km loop which is slightly hilly, allowing attacks and a challenging route for the sprinters, although strictly speaking it's flat.

A bit of a break given I was away for a bit, but finally back with my first proper tour in a long time.
Note that Stage 4 is raced on an incorrect route given the limitations of PCM doesn't allow the actual route of the stage, although the route is as similar to real life as possible.
 Silver City's Tour of the Gila
A 2.2 through New Mexico, which makes use of the surrounding terrain for a good route with a lot of attacking opportunity, not only that, it takes place in New Mexico's windy season, adding an extra layer of difficulty to the terrain.
Stage 1 is the most decisive as the climb to Mogollon is over 9% for 5.5km! You can lose a lot of time there, but the remaining stages provide plenty of opportunities to take it back, Stage 2 is counted flat by PCM but has a selection of climbs making it not only for the sprinters. Stage 3 rides from Tyrone to the Tyrone Mine and back and has a decent hill in it, over 7% on the way back. Stage 4 is a criterium through Silver City, slightly hilly but the main chance for the sprinters. Finally Stage 5 offers some big climbs, partly taking the route of stage 2 backwards, with ascents of both sides of Anderson Vista added in for some real challenge and a chance to pull off a coup to take victory on the last stage.

Thanks togo!
Loved the route ivaneurope created for a World Championships in Sofia so I quickly finished it off as I needed a break from copying maps of real races  Will get right back to real races though, so could be a while for the ITT to come.
 Sofia World Championships Road Race Variant
13 laps or 250km of a circuit in Sofia, it's a predominantly flat course but there is a reasonable hill, 5% for the final 2km to tire the sprinters a little, more important are the cobblestones, which, while reasonably easy will rattle the riders and give the cobblists a chance, letting the race become a contest between the attacking cobble specialists and the sprinter teams.

Thank you, but I have one problem - when I try to load it in 3D Race mode it freezes at Spline isolateds geometries and after long wait it crashed

I used a lot of splines in the stage, so the loading times for the Spline isolateds geometries is rather long. After a long wait it tends to load though, it might not crash on another test, otherwise I'll try to make a 'light' stage which uses wallhouses for a good portion of the splines outside the route and remove some others to (hopefully) make it load better.

 Giro del Medio Brenta
The Giro del Medio Brenta is a 1.2 race which has an interesting route, beginning in Villa del Conte, the race starts with a flat circuit around the smaller villages of the area, before setting off for the climbs, traversing through the Cittadella and Bassano del Grappa on the way. Finally it climbs the tough climb to the Asiago Plateau and takes on a hilly circuit finishing in Gallio, with a very steep final climb to decide the race.

 Classica Aldeias do Xisto - Cylin'Portugal
The Classica Aldeias do Xisto is a short race with some incredibly steep and tough hills in the centre of Portugal, the final three climbs are incredibly tough especially as the first two are on gravel roads similar to Strade Bianche and have gradients of 10.2% for 4.7km, 6.3% for 5km (including two short descents) and 12.1% for 0.8km, posing a massive challenge for the riders.

Began experimenting with height maps to create landscapes in the Faroe Islands and I started out with the capital Tórshavn to create the following fantasy race.
It's possible that I'll continue to make races within the Faroe Islands as they have some quite nice routes to make and they have a real national tour with some great profiles.
 Tórshavn GP
The Tórshavn GP is obviously centered in the beautiful city of Tórshavn, it starts right next to the shore in the city centre and travels up the hills surrounding the town over a short lap, the hill isn't too tough though, so the route is one the sprinters can hang in and the route is a battle between the sprinters teams and the puncheurs/classics riders, while if the unpredictable Faroese weather strikes it can be very windy and shake up the race even more.
Note: The region is set as the Capital Region of Denmark because the Faroe Islands aren't available in the Stage Editor.

@Sutty: Thanks! 
@Croatia: Veyhe is amazing Might even be a coincidently good race for him if he could get up the hill. Thanks for the kind words too

Looks like a great stage. Could you be bothered to make it longer (230 km or so) and a TT route, too. I could add it as WC variant then |

Sure, no problem. Only thing is, are you sure you don't want the road race to be more like 250km? Since I don't think there's been a WC shorter than that in a while.

Ended up just making it over 250km in the end, I can make a shorter version if you want one as well.
ITT is a little on the short side (mostly due to the lack of places in the area for a long race) as well but it should be good enough.

And an extra screenshot I pinched from the ITT route
